    Get Tips on How to Clean Up After a Pet Dingo

  1. Step 1

    Make sure that you provide plenty of outdoor space for your pet dingo, since they need room to romp and explore. Of course, this means picking up dingo "landmines" on a regular basis. So, plan to clean up the yard every other day, at minimum.

  2. Step 2

    Visit your local pet supply store for the latest in "Pooper Scoopers" to help you clean up after your pet dingo. There are several devices available to help you scoop thoroughly, as well as biodegradable bags to deposit your finds in and safely dispose of them.

  3. Step 3

    Use placemats in the area where you feed your pet dingo to make spills easier to clean up. In addition, be sure to clean the feeding dishes on a regular basis. This not only helps to keep your dingo healthier, but will also reduce the possibility of insects and other critters from invading the pet food.

  4. Step 4

    Expect your pet dingo to have indoor accidents on occasion, just as with any other pet. To clean up these incidents, blot the area thoroughly and then follow up with a cleaning solution designed to remove pet odors. This will help prevent future accidents from occurring in the same place.

  5. Step 5

    Know that unlike other dog breeds, dingoes do not possess that typical dog-like smell, even when wet. However, you may wish to bathe your pet dingo from time to time. If you do, use a mild shampoo formulated for dogs. Since dingoes need to spend a lot of time outdoors as a rule, it generally isn't necessary to be concerned with nail trimming. Outdoor activity naturally curbs long nails.

  6. Step 6

    Keep your pet dingo leashed when visiting public places, including parks. Not only is this a safety precaution, but you'll be able to keep track of any messes your pet dingo will make and be able to clean up after him accordingly. To that end, bring a plastic bag or other clean up tools with you when you visit such places.

Tips & Warnings
  • An interesting trait of dingoes is that their fur is weather-resistant. However, they love to run through brush. If yours does, brushing and/or bathing is recommended every 2 weeks.
