Don’t Step in the Dog Poop Day: Keep Hong Kong Clean! 🐶💩

Hey there, pet lovers! Did you know that April 25 is Don’t Step in the Dog Poop Day? 🐕 This quirky holiday, which started in the U.S., is all about encouraging dog owners to clean up after their pups to keep our streets and parks spotless. At Furry Green Pets, we’re all about spreading this pawsome message in Hong Kong! 💚

In Hong Kong, whether you’re a dog owner or just walking someone else’s furry pal, it’s your job to make sure public spaces stay clean. Here’s how you can be a responsible pet parent:

• Clean up right away: After your dog does their business, scoop up the poop and toss it into a dog waste bin or garbage bin.

• Rinse it off: Got a little pee on the pavement? Use some water to rinse it away and keep things tidy.

• Be prepared: Always carry plastic bags, newspapers, and a small bottle of water when you’re out with your dog. It’s super easy to clean up on the go!

Why is this so important? Well, besides keeping Hong Kong beautiful, it’s also the law! According to the Fixed Penalty (Public Cleanliness and Obstruction) Ordinance (Hong Kong Law Chapter 570), letting your dog’s poop dirty up public spaces can land you a HK$3,000 fine. 😱 And if your pup’s mess ends up in shared building areas, like staircases or lobbies, you could face a fine of up to HK$25,000 under the Public Cleansing and Prevention of Nuisances Regulation(Hong Kong Law Chapter 132). Yikes!

So, let’s make a promise this Don’t Step in the Dog Poop Day to be responsible dog owners. Clean up after your furry friends, and together, we can keep Hong Kong’s streets clean and green! 🌿🐾
