Is there a thing to put on your grass so it doesent die from dog pee?
Question:
Answers:
There are many products on the market that claim to help prevent lawns from dying after dogs have urinated on them. What you might find out is that many companies are selling standard pelletized gypsum, which can be purchased from your local hardware/garden shop, as a their "secret formula" to prevent lawns from spotting after your dog's relieved themselves.
To help save yourself from spending too much money, here's a couple of suggestions for you;
Flush the area with water and treat it with pelletized gypsum--sprinkling at a rate of 1/2 to 1 cup per square foot and then water it in.
Gypsum is comprised of Calcium sulfate and the calcium will displace the sodium salts (found in urine). The sodium is then flushed down and out of the rootzone. This treatment will help your lawn recover faster and restore your lawn to its natural state at a faster rate than without using any treatment.
Jerry Baker on PBS recommends a do-it-yourself recipe to deter dogs from relieving themselves on your lawn;
2 1/2 parts Flour, 1 part Cayenne Pepper, and 1 1/2 parts Dry Mustard Powder. Sprinkle around the area as needed. If it rains, it will have to be replaced
Hope this helps solve your problem. GOOD LUCK!

Not to my knowledge. I guess Fido needs to stop watering the lawn. :(
Watering it down within 10-15 minutes after they pee is the only thing REALLY known to work.

There is a spray called "Dogonit". As soon as you see the spot beginning to brown (or sooner) you spray and water the spot. It takes about a week for the lawn to recover. It works, but training your dog is even better.
