Don’t Let Dog Poop Ruin Your Holiday Lights

Nothing ruins a holiday lighting reveal like a hidden poop pile under the inflatable Santa. You’ve spent time and money getting your outdoor décor just right. Don’t let pet waste steal the spotlight. Whether you’re going all out with twinkling reindeer or keeping it simple with string lights, a clean yard is key to pulling off the look and keeping guests safe.

Why Yard Cleanup Matters Before You Decorate

Extension cords and poop don’t mix

Wet or soiled cords are a recipe for ruined decorations, or worse, an electrical hazard. Keep the area clean to avoid tripping or damage.

Decorations hide landmines

Large inflatables and holiday props can easily mask pet waste underneath. That’s a surprise no one wants during setup or takedown.

Nighttime walks can lead to surprise messes

Even if your décor looks magical, a single missed pile can turn an evening stroll into a messy mishap. Clear the yard so you can enjoy it stress-free.

Smart Lighting Tips for Dog Owners

Avoid placing decor near potty zones

Set boundaries for where your dog can go. Make sure lights and displays stay in safe, clean areas of the yard.

Elevate cords away from the ground

Use hooks or clips to secure extension cords along fences or raised surfaces so they’re out of paw’s reach and waste-free zones.

Keep clear walkways for guests and dogs

Plan your layout with clean, poop-free paths in mind so visitors can admire your handiwork without stepping into trouble.
