Is there a way to stop nitrogen burn from pet urine? It's killing my lawn something fierce!!?

Answer 1

Get a bag of lime to sprinkle on the affected spots to kill the urine. Get a bag of Epsom Salts to restore the green.

If it's your pet, shame on you. If it is the pets of others, they have motion detection thingees for sprinkler systems to turn on when the offender comes in range.

Answer 2

I keep reading about many people with this problem. I've had my girl dog for 8 years and have never had this problem. Many in my family also have "girls" who piddle on their lawn with no burning problem. I can tell where my dog piddles because the grass grows better there than anywhere else in the yard. In my region the soil is very alkaline. Your region may be very different. You could run the sprinklers every pm for about 15 minutes to water down the piddle areas.

Answer 3

There is nothing you can add to your pet's food to stop that unless you stop feeding your pet protein.....then you end up with sick pet. Oh, there are people who will try to sell you things, but don't waste your money.

Water is the main cure. Watering as soon as they pee dilutes the pee so it doesn't kill, it just fertilizes. Faster you can get to it the better. Short of that, confine the pet to a sacrifice area or teach pet to pee and poop in one section......good luck. Some grasses are less pee kill prone, but I doubt you want to grow a new lawn.

we had the same problem and the things above didn't work for us - we over-seeded - then we mulched over a corner of the yard and taught them to go there - we now have a nice green lawn

it'll take a few weeks for them to get used to it - and you'll have to go out with them EVERY TIME until they go there on their own
