LA STORMWATER PET PARTNERS
The City has developed and maintained corporate and private partnerships between the Stormwater Program and pet businesses/organizations including local pet stores, dog trainers, pet adoption agencies and animal shelters. Our pet partners have helped us spread the message on the importance of having dog owners pick up after their pets every time to prevent stormwater pollution by allowing us to conduct presentations at their training classes or tablings at their events. Below, you can find links to our pet partners’ sites.

Unattended pet waste is a large source of stormwater pollution. Pet waste left on grassy areas, sidewalks and streets is flushed into our storm drain system when it rains. The toxic mix of bacteria from dog waste and water then flows untreated into our local waterways and ocean. This pollution is harmful to:
• Aquatic life
• Beach goers
