The Ottawa Greenbelt offers hundreds of kilometers of beautiful, accessible trails, making it the capital’s greatest resource for dog owners. Locations like Bruce Pit and Conroy Pit (the off-leash areas) are phenomenal, and the vast network of pathways allows for endless exploration.

However, as we enjoy the dense foliage and tall grasses of the Greenbelt trails, we must be vigilant about the increase in ticks and parasites in Ottawa. Prevention starts with vigilance on the trail, but it must be completed with strict sanitation at home. Scoop Dog is here to explain how professional yard parasite removal is your best defense.

Life in Central Ottawa—from the bustling streets of Centretown to the charming avenues of the Glebe—offers fantastic urban living. But for dog owners, finding green space for your pup to run free is a constant priority. While large pits are a drive away, the core neighbourhoods have excellent, well-utilized dog-friendly parks that serve as vital community hubs.

At Scoop Dog, we understand the unique demands of urban dog park solutions. Residents in these dense areas place a premium on convenience and cleanliness. That’s why our efficient, weekly service is the perfect partner for Centretown and Glebe dog owners.

As the go-to provider for sanitary yard care, Scoop Dog knows that pet wellness is holistic. A clean yard is essential, but it’s only half the equation. The other half starts in the bowl. That's why we are proud to partner with Masters n' Dogs, the beloved local pet store in the Westboro community, known for its expertise in premium dog food and nutrition.

For Westboro dog owners, understanding the link between quality food and overall health is crucial. Good nutrition doesn't just contribute to a shiny coat and high energy; it also plays a direct role in digestion and, yes, even makes our job easier!

The beautiful city of Ottawa offers residents plenty of outdoor fun, but let's face it: dealing with dog waste is the one chore every homeowner dreads. Whether you're navigating the messy aftermath of the spring thaw or trying to keep your yard tidy during a busy summer, the job never ends. That’s why professional dog waste removal is becoming a must-have service for busy Ottawa homeowners. At Scoop Dog, we take pride in offering reliable, professional weekly poop-scooping service so you can reclaim your yard and your time.

On Sunday, September 28, Scoop Dog was proud to take part in the Ottawa Humane Society’s Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk and Run 2025. The event brought together animal lovers from across the city for a fun-filled day of running, walking, and celebrating our four-legged friends—all in support of the Humane Society’s vital work.

Ah, Ottawa. We're blessed with four distinct seasons, each offering its own unique beauty – and its own unique challenges for pet owners. From the frozen tundra of winter to the humid bloom of summer, one constant remains: our furry friends need to go. And what they leave behind can become a bigger problem than you might think, impacting your yard's health, your family's well-being, and your enjoyment of your outdoor space all year long.

You're an Ottawa homeowner. You love your dog. You don't love scooping poop. You've probably seen ads for pooper scooper services and wondered: "Is this really worth paying for? It's just poop... how hard can it be to handle myself?"

We cherish our backyards in Ottawa. They're spaces for kids to play, pets to roam, gardens to flourish, and families to relax. But for dog owners, an unseen threat can compromise this sanctuary: accumulated dog waste. It's easy to think, "I'll get to it later," or "One more day won't hurt," but the reality is that irregular dog poop clean up transforms your yard from a haven into a potential health risk and environmental problem.

Tired of the poop patrol chore? You're not alone, Ottawa! Many pet owners love their dogs but dread the never-ending task of yard cleanup. The good news? Hiring a professional pooper scooper service is incredibly simple and designed to fit seamlessly into your busy life. At Scoop Dog, we believe in making dog waste removal effortless, reliable, and completely hassle-free.

Let's face it, Ottawa pet parents: scooping dog poop ranks right up there with cleaning gutters or doing taxes on the list of "least favorite chores." Between our beautiful but demanding winters, humid summers, and busy lives juggling work, family, and furry friends, keeping the backyard pristine can feel like a constant, losing battle. You love your dog, but you don't love the minefield they leave behind.

As a dog owner, it’s essential to recognize the signs that your furry friend might have worms. Worms are a common issue in dogs and can lead to various health problems if left untreated. Early detection is key to ensuring your dog gets the care they need. Here’s what you should do if you suspect your dog has worms.

Walking your dog isn’t just about giving them a chance to stretch their legs and take care of business—it’s an essential part of their well-being, and yours too! Whether you go on daily strolls or enjoy leisurely weekend walks, the benefits extend far beyond the obvious. Let’s explore the top five reasons why making dog walking a habit is one of the best things you can do for both you and your furry friend.
