Product Information

While some may believe that female dog urine has a different chemical makeup that makes it more likely to kill grass, there isn’t any significant difference in dog urine damage by gender. However, because female dogs are more likely to squat and urinate in one spot—compared with males who tend to spread out their urine to mark different areas—brown spots are more likely to be a female dog’s doing. And anytime a dog pees in one area repeatedly, it can kill the grass. Dog urine spots typically have a dark green ring.

If you don’t want to have to look at yellow spots, even in a designated bathroom area, Dr. Conrad recommends using mulch or gravel. This will also help to filter urine and avoid some of the associated unpleasant smells, especially if this is going to be a high-pee area.

In addition to lawn damage, you may see other symptoms that indicate an issue with your dog’s health. They may need to urinate more frequently, have cloudy or bloody urine, or may try to urinate with little success. Other changes include loss or increase of appetite, weight changes, and behavioral changes. These are all signs of something that should be examined by your vet. As discussed, alkaline urine pH is a top cause contributing to grass death. DL-Methionine, is an amino acid, which is actually required by the body, but when additionally supplemented to your pup can help to acidify the urine and get it into a more neutral or slightly acidic urine pH. There are studies being done, in both animal and human medicine, to determine if the digestive system, specifically the large intestines, can be used as an alternative method for excreting urea and nitrogen compounds from the body.

One of the best ways to prevent dog urine from killing grass is by making adjustments to your furry friend's diet. Certain components in your dog's food can contribute to the high nitrogen levels in their urine, which results in those unsightly brown patches on your lawn.

This product is safe to use all year round, so the big defrost at the end of winter won't reveal 3-6 months of concentrated lawn stains below the surface of the snow. This leads to dehydration throughout their whole body, which affects even their digestive system and urinary tract. Dark or very golden urine is a good indicator that your dog is dehydrated and might either not be drinking enough water or could benefit from some fluid-containing foods. High concentrations of nitrogen can be threatening to your yard, causing the dreaded yellow spots that you see from dog urine killing grass.
