How do you get dog urine out from grass?

Answer 1

I have two male dogs that frequently leave burn spots. I was told by our lawn service rep that the dogs may be getting too much salt in their diet. But I've also read that it's not the low acidity level, nor the pH level in urine but the amount of nitrogen that burns the lawn. Nitrogen is supposed to be the true culprit. Therefore, increasing water intake will dilute the urine and, in turn, the nitrogen in it.
P.S.--However,... I just checked my Doctors Foster and Smith dog and cat catalog, and they sell a product that you can feed your dog and it neutralizes the urine. These tablets "help reduce lawn burn by getting at the cause--the urea and ammonia in your pet's waste. These chewable, liver-flavored tablets contain Yucca schidigera, which helps fight lawn burn by binding the ammonia in urine. Yucca also decreases fecal odor."
So these vets claim it's the urea and ammonia. Who knows for sure? Probably the best solution is to have our hoses handy and quickly spray down the area where are dogs just tickled? Ya' think?

Answer 2

The brown spots caused by urine are simply the result of an over concentration of nitrogen, which burns the grass just like over fertilizing can burn the grass. So if you see the dog, flood the spot with water. Even within a few days, a thorough flushing should head off most damage, and before long the grass will grow back as good as new.
Most burn spots will recover with time and regrowth. In cases where the damage has been in place for a while, dig out the damaged turf and flush the soil with plenty of water to dilute the excess nitrogen. Reseed or resod the spot
It is not a pH problem in the soil so changing the dogs diet will not help. You can't alter the amount of nitrogen in their urine, since it comes from their dietary protein, unless you reduce their protein intake or change the kind of protein they eat. Changing the dogs diet can injure the dog however unless done with good knowledge of the dog's requirements. .

Answer 3

Hose it out with water. If the urine is killing the grass you can buy a spray from the pet shop that will neutralize the urine.

Answer 4

It is only female dogs that cause yellow patches to appear on grass. The patches cannot be got out but there is a substance that you can put in the dogs water that neutralises the hormone that causes the problem....without causing any harm to the dog.
