Female dog pee spots?
Question:I've come to the conclusion that other than walking her more, there is no real solution to the dog pee spots. Is there a type of grass that is more resistant to dog pee spots, however?
Answers:
Yes, K-31 tall fescue, but it is ugly and better for pasture grass.
The high nitrogen load in the pee is what is causing the burn spots. Short of stopping feeding your dog protein food, there's really no way to stop the burn....unless you want to wet down the area she has just peed on. Water is the key, diluting the pee as soon as possible helps. Then the spots either have fill in themselves, you try reseeding or even sodding the burn spots.
Tell that ***** to quit peeing.
NOPE. where ever a dog goes pee, it will kill the grass. I have spots all over the yard..
Usually during the growing season, you don't see dog damage as much as you do in the winter, because the grass is growing. If you let the dog go in the same spot time after time, of course your going to see damage. The nitrogen in the urine is what is causing the damage. I have been told that mixing some tomato juice with the water. That will dilute the urine little bit. I dont think ive heard of a urine resistant variety of grass.
There are a couple things you can do. As soon as little doggy potties, flush the area with the hose. Second option is Apple Cider Vinegar. Yep, just add a couple drops to the little doggy's water bowl, increasing it to a few drops over about a weeks time and keeping that up. The urine should be neutralized and not burning the grass as well as any gassy problems little doggy may have.
I don't know of anyone who owns a female dog that has that problem. I know that in my yard, the areas where my dog piddles, the grass is always greener and thicker. Same with others that own female dogs.
Follow your dog around the yard, wherever she pee's you should dump a glass of water in the spot to dilute it. it's a pain but it works. You can use that patch master stuff they sell in your local hardware store, to fill up the old pee spots. rake out the dead grass put the patch master stuff in there water and you'll have grass in 7 - 14 days
