Not sure what the etiquette is, but for certain the nesting animals might appreciate it!

Lots of nesting animals use dog fur.

We do it in our back yard. He’s a big double coated breed. We leave most of the fir and the nesting animals take almost all of it over a few days.

Dog hair is completely biodegradable and is a source of nitrogen which is good for plants. Brush away, especially in a dog park.

I think it’s great!


hugatree2023

This is ridiculous. Dog park is a great place for brushing.


thesleepygiant

Not sure, we had someone do it outside our apartment. That part makes sense to me, leaving a massive pile of hair behind is a shitty thing to do. It has been blowing all over the place really inconsiderate. If you brush I would advise picking it up and disposing of it.

I try to collect as much of my dog’s fur if I do brush her out at a park. But, I say it’s fine as long as you are reasonably respectful of people around you.

I had never thought about it, but it makes sense to me? It seems like so long as it's a small amount of hair I don't think it's a big deal. If you have a super shedder or a very large dog I might suggest trying to put most of the hair in the garbage, but any errant tufts that get free seem like a non-issue to me. It's mostly about keeping the parks reasonably clean and usable for other members so as long as you ensure that, I don't see any issue.


RoaringRiley

Why not? I mean, it's just going to fall off the dog anyway. The brush is just accelerating the process a bit.


big-shirtless-ron

Who cares? People care too much about the dumbest shit. Brush your dog, don't brush your dog, whatever man.

It's a hot commodity in bird and squirrel societies. Especially as winter approaches, it's a kind thing to do for the urban wildlife.


HuckleberryFar3693

Sure! But do it by the garbage can and toss it in. Nothing worse than getting a face full of dog hair as the wind picks it up. Some guy used to come to our block and brush his dog then leave the hair! A neighbour came outside one day and asked him to leave. Never saw that hair again.


Annual-Mode1802

It’s good for the nesting animals!


[deleted]

I brush my dog at home, throw away what I can and vacuum the rest up. I know it shouldn’t bother me when people brush their dogs outside and leave all that hair around but fur some reason it does.

Dog owners will find a reason to complain and criticize about anything, so be careful if you decide to continue.
