Repair lawn after dog pee?

[afteralongday]

What's the best way please?

No idea but joining for solidarity. Our lawn is so patchy due to dog urine. We are trying grass seed and a lawn feed at the moment.

I will start on mine when the weather is reliably warm. I think my dog must pee pure acid from the damage she does, but I did this last summer and am now about to do it again after her winter urine ravages. Anyway, this is what works for me..
I have a large sack of quick growing grass seed (bought online from Boston Seeds), and many bags of John Innes no 2. I also have a large quantity of plastic netting and bamboo sticks to use as stakes. I will cut the grass and then top dress it generously with the John Innes and use a broom to brush it in to the grass and make sure the bare bits have a good covering. Then I re seed the whole lot, water well and fence it off. Our lawn isn't that big so I do half at a time. After about 3 or four weeks it is ready for mowing with the blades set high. Then I do the other half. To minimise urine damage I water where she pees immedietly with a whole watering can full of water (obviously I do miss some, I can't watch her all the time). By July it is usually looking good again, but I do try not to stress too much over it. It's only grass after all.

It won't repair it and I haven't tried it yet but as I was wandering around a large chain pet store the other day they had a leaflet for something called "Dog Rocks" that caught my eye... none in stock so I ordered on Amazon... could be a massive gimmick but they are hopefully arriving today to try. They are stones you put in their water.... mixed reviews but people who appear to have success with them have said they fill a jug with water and put the stones in that to effectively "brew" and then use that to fill the water bowl rather than putting fresh water in the bowl with the stones and them not having time to work....time will tell I guess if they work.
Other than that we have found using a watering can straight after they wee helps to dilute it and not make it as bad.

I would dig the area up, put some top soil down and then spread some grass seed on there. Make sure you rake it and water regularly, grass soon grows with a couple of weeks.

@longearedbat - reading your method has given me renewed hope for maintaining my grass .No dogs but surrounded by sycamore with an apple and invasive plum from next door thrown in + I am coming to suspect degraded tarmac under some areas .

It sounds simple and doable ! Plus I can see that it's not a one off .

I've used the dog rocks for around 3 years now and we have no horrible patches on our lawn. I put them in dogs water bowl (you can put then in a jug if your dog likes to take them out the water bowl). Our dog is small, 4.6kg, not sure if this makes a difference. You need to restrict other water intakes, ideally your dog would just drink from the rocks bowl.
