How often should I schedule service?2020-05-08T22:05:52-05:00

There are 7.2 million dogs in the state of Texas. Since dog waste isn’t fertilizer raw sewage is sitting in our backyards. It is recommended that it be picked up 1-2 times per week. Additionally, experts recommend cleanings to minimize the danger from pathogens harmful to humans.

Why should I use Dog D.A.S.E. as my dog waste cleanup service?2020-05-08T22:03:55-05:00

Dog waste is not fertilizer. There are harmful organisms embedded in the waste that can persist for weeks and can be transferred to children and adults. We clean up the mess and keep the yard clean and beautiful all year long.

Does your disinfectant use man-made chemicals?2020-05-08T21:50:47-05:00
