Picture this: you’re strolling through Toronto, enjoying the sights, when suddenly, you spot something you wish you hadn’t – dog poop left behind on the sidewalk. It’s a problem that’s been growing, and Pet Supplies Plus is determined to do something about it.
As a locally-owned Toronto pet store, Timmie Pet Supplies understands the importance of keeping the city clean for everyone to enjoy. So when they noticed an increase in dog poop being left behind, they knew they had to take action.
Teaming up with BLKW, a Toronto-based agency, Pet Supplies Plus launched the “Found Poop” campaign. But instead of pointing fingers, they took a more empathetic approach. By putting up friendly signs all over the city, they reminded dog owners to pick up after their pets – and even provided free poop bags for those who forgot.
“It’s all about helping out,” says Paul Ryu, co-founder of Timmie Pet Supplies. “We understand that sometimes things slip your mind, so we wanted to offer a helping hand.”
The “Found Poop” signs serve as a gentle reminder to dog owners to do their part in keeping Toronto clean. And with free poop bags available, there’s no excuse not to pick up after your pet.
“We’re hoping that by offering free poop bags, we can encourage more dog owners to take responsibility for their pets,” adds Ryu. “After all, we all want to keep Toronto looking beautiful.”
The campaign, which launched in April 2024, has already made a positive impact in the community. By raising awareness and providing practical solutions, Pet Supplies Plus is helping to create a cleaner, more enjoyable city for everyone.
So the next time you’re out for a walk with your furry friend, remember to pick up after them – because with Pet Supplies Plus, there’s no poop left behind.
