Pet Butler Franchise Reminds Animal Owners That A Healthy Pet Is A Happy Pet During National Pet Week

(Friday, May 04, 2007) - Americans spend more than $2.9 billion annually on medicines to keep their pets healthy, and with the recent dog food recalls, U.S. pet owners are even more concerned about their pets' health. During National Pet Week (May 6-12), Pet Butler, the nation's leading pet waste cleanup service, reminds human companions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of the importance of cleaning up dog waste to help eliminate health hazards for them and their families.

National Pet Week is a celebration of our animal friends, as well as a time for owners to become educated about how to properly care for them. This week encourages owners to seek expert help by consulting their veterinarians and taking steps to keep their pets healthy, safe, and happy.

Pet Butler, headquartered in Frisco, Texas, has picked up more than 35 million piles of poop, so it is a company that knows how unhealthy dog droppings can be for dogs, owners, and the environment.

Many common parasites, such as roundworm, are transmitted via dog feces, and when infected dog droppings are left on the ground, the eggs of these parasites can linger in the soil for years.

"Dog droppings are more than a nuisance. They are a major health hazard for pets and their families," said Matt "Red" Boswell, CEO (Chief Excrement Officer) of Pet Butler. "We want to ensure that pets and their families live the healthiest lives possible. That's why Pet Butler works so diligently to clean up waste and ensure safe disposal, resulting in poop-free yards and common spaces."

In addition to keeping yards poop-free, Pet Butler offers a variety of services to ensure good pet health. The company provides home delivery of HealthyPetNet's all-natural pet foods, eliminates urine odors from patios and lawns as well as disinfects lawns to help rid them of bacteria and disease.

"We believe that a healthy pet is a happy pet," said Boswell. "That's why National Pet Week is an important time, with its emphasis on keeping animals healthy by providing a good diet and lots of exercise, and keeping them safe from harmful bacteria and diseases."
