​Spring is in the air! Happy First Day of Spring! As the cold ground thaws and the flowers start to bloom, we are reminded that the winter season is over and a new season is upon us. With the arrival of spring, it's time to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh air with your furry friend.

At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean outdoor space for your pets to play and roam around. As pet owners, it's our responsibility to ensure that our pets are safe and healthy by cleaning up after them, especially during the spring season when the melting snow reveals hidden surprises. But besides cleaning up the winter pet waste, there are many spring activities that you can do with your furry friend. Here are some ideas to get you started:
​
  1. Go on a Hike - Take advantage of the warmer weather and plan a hike with your pup. Not only will you both get some exercise, but you'll also get to explore new areas and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the season.
  2. Spring Cleaning - It's time to do some spring cleaning, and your dog can help too! Take this opportunity to clean and organize your pet's toys, beds, and accessories. Your dog can also help by getting rid of any old or unwanted items.
  3. Play Fetch - With the warmer weather, your dog will have more energy to play. Take advantage of this and play a game of fetch in the backyard or at the park.
  4. Visit a Dog Park - Dog parks are a great place for your pup to socialize and meet new friends. With the arrival of spring, many dog parks will start hosting events and activities for you and your furry friend to enjoy.
  5. Spring Photoshoot - Spring is the perfect time to take some adorable photos of your pet. Take advantage of the beautiful flowers and blossoming trees to capture some memorable moments with your furry friend.
As you can see, there are many ways to enjoy the arrival of spring with your furry friend. At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we encourage all pet owners to be responsible and keep their outdoor space clean and safe for their pets. With a little effort, we can all enjoy the beauty of spring while keeping our pets happy and healthy.

Importance of Crate Training!

​Crate training is an essential tool for pet owners, especially when it comes to creating a safe and comfortable environment for your furry friend. At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we know the importance of crate training and how it can benefit both you and your pet. Here are some of the key reasons why crate training is so valuable:
  1. Providing a Safe Space: Dogs are den animals and they naturally seek out small, enclosed spaces to feel safe and secure. A crate can provide this sense of security for your dog, giving them a safe and comfortable space to retreat to when they feel anxious or overwhelmed.
  2. Minimizing Anxiety: Crate training can help minimize anxiety in dogs by providing them with a predictable routine and a designated space of their own. When your dog knows what to expect and has a safe space to retreat to, they are less likely to become anxious or stressed.
  3. Preventing Destructive Behavior: When left alone, dogs may become bored and resort to destructive behavior like chewing on furniture or digging through the trash. By crate training your dog, you can prevent these behaviors and keep them safe from potential hazards around the house.
  4. Easier Travel: If you like to travel with your dog, crate training can make it much easier. Many airlines and hotels require dogs to be crated during transport and a familiar crate can help your dog feel more comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.
  5. Establishing Boundaries: Crate training can also help establish boundaries for your pet. By creating a designated space for them to rest and relax, you can teach them what areas of the house are off-limits and what areas are for them to enjoy.
  6. Minimizing Accidents: By keeping your dog in their crate while you are away, you are teaching them to hold their bladder and wait until they are outside to go. This also helps them establish a bathroom routine, making potty-training easier!  This certainly helps when the little landmines are outside for us to clean and not inside your home on the clean rugs!
Overall, crate training is a valuable tool for pet owners that can benefit both you and your furry friend. By providing a safe space, minimizing anxiety, preventing destructive behavior, easing travel, and establishing boundaries, crate training can help create a happier and healthier environment for your pet.

Spring is in the air and that means so is wedding season! At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we understand that outdoor weddings can be a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Outdoor weddings have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. There is something magical about exchanging vows in the beauty of nature, surrounded by greenery, flowers, and fresh air. Outdoor weddings offer a unique and unforgettable experience that can't be replicated in an indoor setting. They provide ample space for guests to socialize and enjoy the festivities, and offer endless possibilities for customization and personalization. Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding, a beach wedding, or a garden wedding, the natural beauty of the outdoors provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. Outdoor weddings also offer more flexibility in terms of guest count, allowing you to invite as many or as few guests as you desire. With the right planning and preparation, an outdoor wedding can be a truly magical and memorable experience!  

However, they can also be challenging to maintain, especially when it comes to animal waste, trash, and debris. That's why we offer our comprehensive pre-wedding cleanup services to ensure that your special day runs smoothly and is enjoyed by everyone.

Our outdoor wedding cleanup services are designed to remove pet waste (dog, goose, rabbit), trash and debris from your outdoor wedding venue. We use safe and efficient methods to collect and dispose of pet waste, leaving your venue clean and hygienic.  We take away all the waste and deodorize with environmentally friendly products.

At Little Landmines Pet Waste Removal, we are committed to providing the best possible cleanup services for outdoor weddings. We understand the importance of a clean and hygienic venue and will work diligently to ensure that your special day runs smoothly. Our experienced and professional team will provide customized cleanup plans, efficient animal waste cleanup, and trash and debris removal services.

Meet Klump the Kitten!

Hello to our Little Landmines fans! We've got some paw-some news to share with all our furry friends out there. We're excited to announce the newest addition to our team - Klump the Kitten!

Now, you might be thinking, "wait, isn't Little Landmines all about dogs and dog poop?" Well, fear not, my feline-loving friends! We added kitty litter services about a year ago and don't neglect our kitty clients anymore.  So what better way to celebrate that than with a furry feline friend?

Klump is a charming little ball of fluff, with a penchant for rolling around in litter and causing general chaos. But hey, that's what makes her so lovable! And she's already fitting in perfectly with our other mascot, Deuce the Dog.

Speaking of Deuce, he was a bit skeptical at first about having a new buddy around. But once Klump showed him how much fun it is to play with balls of yarn and pounce around scratching posts, Deuce was all in. These two are quickly becoming the best of friends, and we're sure they'll make a great team when it comes to keeping your pets' waste under control.
​

Now, we know some of you might be thinking, "but what about the smell?" Don't worry, we've got that covered. Our team of expert pet waste removers will make sure that your litter boxes are scooped and cleaned to perfection, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean. And with Klump on the job, you can be sure that no litter box will be left unattended!
So, there you have it - our exciting new addition to the Little Landmines team. Klump the Kitten is here to stay, and we couldn't be happier to have her. And don't forget, if you're in need of pet waste removal services (whether it's dog poop or kitty litter), we're here to help. Just give us a call, and we'll take care of the rest. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more updates from Little Landmines as we continue to grow!  Meow!
