š¬ Introduction: When Dog Ownership Becomes a Physical Challenge
Owning a dog brings joy, companionship, and emotional supportābut it also comes with physical demands. For elderly individuals, disabled adults, or those with mobility limitations, one of the hardest parts of pet ownership is keeping up with dog waste cleanup.
Thatās where YardBuddy comes in.Ā Weāre more than just a pooper scooper serviceāweāre a lifeline for aging pet owners, disabled homeowners, and families helping loved ones stay independent.
š Why Pet Waste Cleanup Can Be a Problem for Elderly or Disabled Owners
Tasks like bending, squatting, walking on uneven ground, or handling pet waste bags can be:
Painful or dangerous for those with arthritis, joint issues, or limited mobility
A fall riskĀ for seniors, especially on wet or hilly lawns
Impossible for people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments
Hard to manage for those recovering from surgery or illness
And while neighbors or family may help occasionally, consistency is what prevents health hazards.
ā How YardBuddy Provides Safe, Reliable Help
