Just keep your dog from peeing on them. I use black pepper to stop him from going on things like outdoor Halloween and Christmas decorations. But urine is high in acid and will kill plants and grass.

You'll have to replace them. There is a product, a pet treat, you can buy that will neutralize the pH in a dogs urine. It's either that or build a raised bed, fence the flower bed, or build a separate area just for the dog which is what I did. Dog urine kills plants.
Here is a site that sells the treats, but you can probably find them or something like them at petco or petsmart.

Good luck.

You have to keep the dog away from your plants.

Well, the nitrogen is so pure that it could burn them. All you do is simply hose them down after a good pee... No biggie.
