Yes, Poo Squad's dog poop scooper service covers Andover, KS. Your local Poo Squad crew comes out of our Wichita location, owned by Tony Miller, and we scoop Andover yards as part of our regular route. Weekly, every other week or monthly. You pick, we scoop.
Tired of dodging landmines on the way to the trash cans? You're not alone. Andover has a lot of dogs and a lot of nice yards, and those two things don't always get along. We know dog poop. Unfortunately. So you don't have to.
Andover Dogs Have It Pretty Good
Andover is a fast growing town on the west edge of Butler County, right next door to Wichita. New streets keep showing up. The city itself points buyers to newer neighborhoods like Cornerstone, Heritage Commons near Andover Central Middle and High Schools, and Prairie Creek up in north Andover, where the lots run large.
Large lots are great for dogs. They're less great when it's your turn to walk the whole thing with a bag. Bigger yard, bigger hunt. A big Prairie Creek lot can hide a week of piles in the tall spots along the fence. Our crew walks every inch, so you don't have to.
Central Park, Lake George and the Redbud Trail
Ask an Andover dog owner where they go and you'll hear one answer first: Central Park at 1607 E Central. It's 80 acres with a playground, walking paths and Lake George, a fishing lake stocked by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
The city runs two dog parks inside Central Park, down at the south end. There are water fountains for dogs and people, logs and boulders to climb, and benches for you. Here's the catch a lot of newcomers miss. Only dogs with a current City of Andover registration can go in. Your dog needs a collar with its registration and rabies tags. Puppies under 4 months and dogs in heat have to sit this one out.
Want a longer walk? The Redbud Trail follows the old BNSF rail line. The Andover section runs about 6 miles from 159th St. East at the county line to Highway 54/400. It's a mix of concrete and packed limestone, and the city lists dog walking right among its uses. The 13th Street Sports Park, the Harry Street Nature Trail Park, Heritage Park Plaza and the neighborhood mini parks round things out.
All those miles mean happy, tired dogs. And happy dogs come home and do their business in your yard. Every day.
What Andover's Dog Rules Actually Say
Andover has a poop rule, and it's pretty clear. Under City Code Section 2-107, you're responsible for removing anything your animal leaves on public or private property in the city. The rule covers your own yard too. You can't let waste pile up at home in amounts that create unsanitary conditions or objectionable odors. You can read it on the Andover Police Department's animal control handout.
A Few More Andover Rules Worth Knowing
- Leash it. Dogs can't run at large. Off your property and out of the car, your dog needs to be on a leash (Section 2-401).
- Register it. Every dog over six months needs a current rabies vaccine, a city registration and a tag on its collar (Sections 2-301 through 2-305). It's $15, or $10 with proof of spay or neuter, at the Police Department or a partnering vet like Kutter Pet Care Center or VCA Andover Animal Hospital.
- Four dogs max. City registration covers up to four dogs. Five or more needs a kennel license.
- Keep the noise down. Section 2-409 bans pets that bark, whine or howl in a continuous or unreasonable way.
The city sums it all up on its dog regulations page. Want the bigger picture on penalties? Our guide to fines for not picking up dog poop covers it.
Why Andover Cares Where the Poop Ends Up
Here's one people don't think about. The City of Andover's stormwater page points out that runoff carries pet waste, along with trash and chemicals, to the water downstream. A pile in the yard doesn't just disappear when it rains. It moves. If you've ever wondered, we wrote about whether dog poop washes away in the rain. Short answer: not the way you'd hope.
Regular scooping keeps it out of the gutters, off your shoes and away from the kids' play area. It also keeps the smell from drifting over to the neighbor's patio. Your yard deserves better than a minefield.
Andover Pet Spots and Big Days in Central Park
Central Park isn't only for dog park runs. It hosts Andover's traditional events through the year, including Greater Andover Days and Hometown Christmas. Fun fact: the park used to be Camp Seikooc, a Girl Scout camp.
For dog care, Andover has local vets that double as license stops. Countryside Pet Clinic & Resort on N. Andover Rd. and Hodes Veterinary Health Center on N. Rose Hill Rd. are both on the city's list. Lost dog? The Andover Police Department suggests microchipping, giving them a photo when you register, and checking the department's Facebook page and the Wichita Animal Shelter.
