Technically, yes—but it’s strongly discouraged in the Toledo Metro area. Leaving dog poop can attract flies, smell awful, damage grass, and spread disease to other pets or kids who play outside.
Over time, dog waste breaks down into the soil, contaminating groundwater and releasing methane. Not only is this bad for your yard, but it contributes to the community’s overall pollution footprint.
Responsible pet owners in Toledo typically clean up weekly or hire a service. For more info on why it matters, check out this article from the American Kennel Club.
