Dogs and grass.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can stop my dogs pee killing my lawn. I have just raked out and re-seeded some dead areas but even in the last few weeks he has started peeing on other areas and they are dying too. If I see him in the act then I hose down the area but with a small baby too look after as well more often that not I do not catch him in the act. Luckily our bitch does not go in the garden, she waits for our walks, but unfortunately the new dog does not do this. Thanks in advance.

Dog rocks. Do a quick search on google, they are supposed to be effective.

Available at vets as well, I'm told. You put them in their drinking water and it neutralises the acid - if you can persuade your dog to actually drink that water and not dirty rainwater instead, lol!

Odd...It is usually the Bitch urine that causes scorching. Are you keeping your eye on the Culprit ?

You're right there Pimpernel - but if the dog is young, he's probably squatting to pee, and that's as damaging, frankly. Older dogs, as I'm sure you know, cock their legs and burn the bushes instead...

And older dogs go more often Bamboo..

No respecter of gender, that problem, let me tell you...

Pimpernel - yes it is definitely the dog. The bitch will not even go in the garden any more as she thinks it is disgusting that he uses it as a toilet! Thanks all for the recommendation I will try dog rocks (and try and stop him from drinking other water if I can help it).

Why, you gonna take to peeing on the grass when you're old, Pimpernel? Wouldn't be a bad thing, grows like billyo if you do, lush and green... and I know that because of some elderly clients I used to have. I went there early spring one year and the grass outside the french windows was lush, long and green all along the edge of the path. I knew what had happend, and he eventually admitted to peeing outside rather than going upstairs when his wife was already in bed or out for the evening.

Funguy is 25 and has a fully functional sphincter....

yea, it was - his wife was appalled, lol! I laughed my socks off - didn't take much working out, did it. I suggested he should spread it around a bit so the rest of the lawn benefitted, but he said he didn't want to get his feet wet walking on the grass...

I saw somewhere if you put tomato juice in with their food that helps, think it was on a gardening program but that was for bitches, may work with dogs too, worth a try, Good Luck. :o))

More Green Tomato's Lady E.......I would rather pee on your lawn!

I do wonder how you know Funguy's personal sphincter details!! As for dog rocks I had visions of how they used to castrate them and it took a while to sink in what you were talking about - oh no - that was bricks come to think of it!

Won't be anything to do with Funguy's sphincter, good or bad - its the prostate that causes the trouble in men... Ah, so much to look forward to Funguy...
