Can anyone recommend a way to stop dogs urine spots destroying grass?

[alwaysusethebiglight]

There are lots of products out there, can anyone recommend something that actually works?

Just water it down as soon as it happens?

Have you tried Dog Rocks? I can’t tell from your question what it is that you’ve tried that doesn’t work

These didn’t work for us unfortunately. Same issue so interested to hear ideas.

Water seems to be the top recommendation if you Google.
Seems a no-brainer to just try and stay on top of watering it after?
Like flushing a toilet- you don't leave it then complain that the toilet gets stained - you flush it immediately. Same principle.

You need to follow them then chuck a load of water on it. We have a watering can always full in the garden and it’s the only way to stop it except our dog often has another pee when I am watering his first so sometimes misses a patch (need to then dig out the dead grass and reseed).

We reseeded with 'Sprogs n dogs ultra hardwearing grass seed' (I found it on Amazon) and now have no yellow spots or any muddy areas from doggo running around and we no longer need to water her wee spots.

It was a bit slow growing (about 3 months to decent coverage), but it is thick, lush and completely green now, 8-ish months later.

water here too. it just means you need to watch them for a while.

You can get special cubes that go in their water than stops this. It may be Dog Rocks mention by an earlier poster.

I can’t remember where I got the advice, but I always give my dog a small piece of tomato every day, we eat a lot of them in our diet so it’s easy enough just to give her a slice. It really works, we have had dogs for 20 odd years and no yellow lawns. Only give a small slice, and not pasta sauce type of thing.

I’ve tried them all. Only thing that works for me is watering it in. I am trying a clover lawn too - when the inevitable missed patch occurs I’m reseeding with a mix of grass seed and clover.

As far as I know it is bitch urine that's the problem, it is in all the lawncare books! Agree with the bucket of water trick to dilute it, but maybe you could set aside a particular area and the dog could be trained to do their business in that corner.

@TemporarilyCantDoMyself that’s tricky as means following him around all day. When the weathers good he can go in and out of the garden.

@HoppityBuni haven’t tried them as haven’t heard any success stories, which is why I’m asking for recommendations. If they’ve worked for people i will try them.

Just pour water on it

That only works if you see every time they urinate

Wow! I’ll give this a try.

Typical that we have a male dog. Maybe I’m not destined to have a nice lawn.

Dogs and nice lawns don't go together all that well, do they?😂
