I have been lucky enough to spend quality time in every major city in Michigan. I was a traveling musician which brought me to all the larger Michigan cities multiple times throughout my career.

Grand Rapids has been my favorite of all the Michigan cities for over 30 years and I've only lived in the area for 7 years. The downtown is clean, there are plenty of dog-friendly areas with dog poo gloves and bags. Lots of businesses have water dishes out front. There are designated dog parks and some bars and restaurants allow you to bring your pup inside or on the patio. It's safe to say that Grand Rapids welcomes people and their dogs.

People Are Upset About the Amount of Dog Poop In Grand Rapids

Someone recently visited downtown Grand Rapids and was not happy with all the dog poop they witnessed and mentioned it on the Grand Rapids Reddit page. Below is what others had to say about it:

There is some truth to that. I live in the country and take my dog past the yard to my field to do his business and surprised by the amount the melted snow uncovered.

I have to agree with this Reddit poster, the dog poop issue is usually not bad at all in downtown Grand Rapids because I'm there almost every day.

This poster may be onto something.

It might just be a mix of hobo poop and dog poo. I think I've seen more homeless poo than dog poo on the streets of Grand Rapids.

The only good news here is rainy season is coming and soon all the dog and hobo logs will be washed away.
