Mutt Mitt Program

Be a responsible pet ownerDogs in Kitsap County drop more than 11 tons of waste each day-  and it doesn't just go away.

The solution is easy: 
Bag it  and trash it.

Landfills are designed to safely handle pet waste. Yards, trails, streets, parks, toilets, and compost piles are not.
