What should be included in a dog waste removal service?

At a minimum: complete removal of all waste, disposal off your property, and regular visits on a fixed day. The differentiator to look for is equipment disinfection — many services skip this step, which means they can carry pathogens from other dogs directly into your garden.

Vet-grade F10 disinfection between every property is our standard because it's the right thing to do — not an upsell.

  • Full removal & off-site disposal (not bagging and leaving in your bins)
  • F10 veterinary disinfection of all equipment between properties
  • Fixed weekly visit day (not on-request only)
  • No minimum term or cancellation penalty
  • Transparent pricing with no surprise fees

Is the cost worth it?

That depends on what you value. Dog waste removal is a professional service that takes roughly 15–30 minutes per week per visit — but the ongoing contamination risk if it's not done properly costs more to fix (lawn repair, vet bills if your pets pick up giardia or hookworm) than the service itself.

The way to know if it's right for you: try it free. Our first visit costs you nothing. After that, you'll know whether a clean garden every week is worth R150.
