dog waste
Pet owner's responsibility
Dog waste is a polite term for dog feces—the solid excrement dogs leave behind.
The phrase appears most often on signs in parks and public spaces: Please clean up after your pet—dog waste must be disposed of properly.
It's the preferred term in official contexts where "dog poop" or "dog shit" would seem too casual or crude.
