Company gives up cars for more fuel efficient transport for dog walkers and pooper scoopers

Doggy Deuce Removal Service, owner of Pet’s Best Friend NJ, a leading northern New Jersey pet services companies, has purchased of a fleet of scooters for its dog walkers and pooper scooper employees to use. A concern about fuel efficiency motivated the move to scooters from traditional car use, since team members often travel across northern New Jersey and southern Rockland county throughout the day as they visit clients’ homes. The companies serve about 1,000 clients and provide 40 dog walks every day. “Because our company is committed to cleaning up the planet one yard at a time, we felt it is important to apply our philosophy to other areas of our work and reduce our carbon footprint as we conduct business,” said Doggy Deuce Removal Service/Pet’s Best Friend NJ owner and Emerson, NJ native Chris Rago.


Just as Pet’s Best Friend NJ and Doggy Deuce Removal Service’s new method of transportation reflects the company’s desire to create a greener world, so do their day-to-day business actions. By removing pet waste from clients’ yards, Doggy Deuce Removal Service is removing hazardous waste from the community which threatens water systems. Surveys by the Center for Watershed Protection found 41% of respondents rarely or never pick up after their dogs. Unfortunately, many pet owners are either unaware of the dangers not picking up after dogs presents or simply do not have the time to properly dispose of the waste. “This winter’s rain and snow fall have left the ground extremely moist, making it easier for the bacteria found in pet waste to be absorbed into our lawns. Unkempt lawns can become a breeding ground for several diseases associated with pet waste such as Campylobacteriosis, Salmonellosis, and Toxocariasis,” said Rago. “The best way to avoid these and other potential dangers is to remove waste promptly and correctly.”

“Dog waste is a health hazard that needs to be managed consistently,” continued Rago. Doggy Deuce Removal Service LLC and Pet’s Best Friend NJ, a pet service company which provides dog exercise, walking, whispering/training, pooper scooper/cat litter service, sitting, and boarding, along with a wide array of at-home vet tech services, provide services 24/7/365.

“Dog waste that isn’t removed ends up in storm drains, sewer systems, and nearby lakes and streams, all the while bypassing wastewater treatment facilities for proper handling,” explained Rago. Further, a U.S. Geological Survey showed that bacteria associated with pet waste were responsible for approximately 25% of the bacteria collected in samples of local waterways, making water unsafe for drinking. “Doggy Deuce ensures that waste is removed properly by meticulously scouring customers’ yards in multiple patterns and triple bagging collected waste for garbage collection. Customers can also opt for waste to be flushed in their toilets, which enables it to go through sewage treatment facilities, along with household waste.”

Long before the waste even has a chance to pollute watersheds and decrease water quality, it presents a significant health risk to those involved in outdoor activities. Unkempt lawns can become a breeding ground for several diseases associated with pet waste such as:

•Campylobacteriosis- a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea in humans.

•Salmonellosis- the most common bacterial infection transmitted to humans from animals. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, and diarrhea.

•Toxocariasis- roundworms transmitted from animals to humans. Symptoms include vision loss, rash, fever, or cough.

According to information provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Watershed Management, improper disposal of pet waste may also lead to an increase in flies and insects, which can become carriers and transmitters of the aforementioned diseases.

Fortunately, preventing the contamination of watersheds and the spread of disease is an easily won battle for the overtaxed and uninformed owner. “Doggy Deuce does its part to keep the earth clean by removing pet waste from yards which keeps it from attracting vermin, spreading disease, getting into streams, rivers and ultimately our water supply,” added Rago. “Picking up after dogs is an important step in keeping our communities safer, cleaner and healthier, while simply making our yards free of nasty surprises.” Doggy Deuce volunteers its pet waste removal and yard clean up services throughout Bergen County all year round.

In addition to volunteering its services to Emerson’s cleanup efforts, Doggy Deuce will be offering its pet waste removal services with a special Mother’s Day and Father’s Day 10% discount with one month sign up to customers mentioning “Mom” or “Dad” at the time of sign up.
