How Many Days Has Your Community Been Pet Waste Free — Do You Know?
Imagine this: You’re walking through your property’s lobby and spot a sign that reads:
🐾 “This Community Has Been Pet Waste Free for 67 Days” 🐾
Feels different, right?
Not just clean—but accountable. Like you’re part of something your whole community is proud of.
More and more, property managers are starting to treat pet waste like workplace safety—something to track, celebrate, and talk about publicly. Just like “accident-free” signs on job sites, why not have pet-waste-free signage for your residents?
Because here’s the thing:
Most Communities Don’t Know Their Number
Pet-friendly properties are typically made up of 35–40% dog owners. That means over half your residents don’t own pets—but they share the same elevators, pathways, and lawns.
When pet waste is left behind, it doesn’t just affect cleanliness—it affects trust:
- Leasing teams look like they’re not enforcing rules.
- Residents quietly lose patience.
- Reviews start to reflect it.
- And good pet owners? They get frustrated too.
Now imagine flipping that script. Imagine residents seeing a poster that says:
“Thanks to our community, we’ve been 60 days pet waste free!”
That’s not just a win for operations—it’s a marketing opportunity.
Pet Waste Free = Powerful Differentiator
Clean communities lease better.
Accountable communities retain better.
And celebrated communities get word-of-mouth referrals that no amount of ad spend can buy.
What we’re seeing now is forward-thinking properties starting to:
- Track and post their “pet waste free” days
- Celebrate milestones in resident newsletters
- Acknowledge responsible dog owners with positive shoutouts
- Turn pet accountability into a trust-building brand asset
It’s a quiet revolution—and communities using programs like PooPrints Canada are finding it much easier to achieve and maintain that standard.
But this article isn’t about DNA or enforcement. It’s about one question:
Do you know how many pet waste free days your community has had?
Are you tracking it?
Are you celebrating it?
Are you using it as a leasing tool?
Because if you’re not… chances are, no one else is either.
Let’s open the floor:
👉 How many pet waste free days has your property had?
👉 Would you post it on a sign? In your newsletter? At your leasing office?
👉 What’s working at your community when it comes to keeping shared spaces clean?
Drop a comment. Share your number. Or tag someone in your team who should start tracking it.
Together, let’s raise the bar—and turn “pet-friendly” into pet-proud.
