Big Doo-Ings In Pet Potty Business

East Valley Tribune:

There’s big news today in the East Valley’s pooper-scooping industry.

Pet Butler acquired GotPoop-AZ, one of its competitors serving the Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Ahwatukee Foothills and Queen Creek.

The 2 companies made the joint announcement over the weekend.

Pet Butler, which proudly bills itself as ‘#1 in the #2 business’, charges a small per-visit fee for its technicians to collect dog and cat waste, carry it away, and dispose of it properly. They say if the doggie-doo doesn’t get picked up, it can ruin lawns and present a significant source of water pollution.
