Cinco Ranch Residential Association II is very fortunate to have such beautiful areas, including the walking trails and parks around the community.

Many pet owners like to exercise with their dogs and take them for walks around the trails. For those of you who do walk your dogs, remember, everyone living in the Cinco Ranch Community deserves to enjoy their activities without apprehension of being approached, barked at, or bitten by a passerby's dog, or stepping in dog feces.

Please be respectful of your neighbors. A little consideration will go a long way. The negative situations created by a few who do not obey the rules (keeping their animals on leashes at all times and properly disposing of pet feces) affect all pet owners when laws, ordinances, regulations and public policies are made!

Key Points:

• It's common courtesy - Cleaning up after your pet shows respect for our neighbors and community. Only irresponsible pet owners leave their pet's feces for others to look at, step in or clean up.
• Dog Feces is unhealthy - Disposing of feces immediately helps all dogs stay healthier and reduces feces-borne parasites and illnesses.
• Dog Feces bio-degrades slowly - The process is very slow and in places where the dog population is high, abandoned dog feces can accumulate faster than it breaks down.
• Dog feces pollutes the water - Dog feces, like any feces, contain high levels of nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, which actually pollute the water.

Part of being a responsible pet owner is ALWAYS being aware of your pet's impact on other people's lives and homes! 

Thank you for your cooperation.
