Every where our female dog urinates outside kills our grass. Can anyone help save our lawn? Thanks,

Sharyl from Utah

Joseph - how much does your dog weigh? I love the black olive idea! I've also heard that tomato juice works (if you can get your dog to drink it - lol), and also Brewer's Yeast, which is also good along with garlic oil for preventing fleas.

Gypsum / calcium sulfate works wonders, the only down side is really there is only one person selling it. The price is high but it sure cured my problem. Try Bringbackthegreen.com

This is very interesting. i have always wanted to learn organic ways to help my family, dogs included.
The sliced black olives will be my first choice.
I will let you knowhow things go.

The best way to protect your lawn from dog urine is to use a product called dog rocks
It is very simple to use - you put some into the water bowl and need to change them once in two months.
This does not play with the ph levels of the dogs urine like Grasssaver does and has no chemicals
it is a naturally available rock in Australia.

Black Olives - I know that it sounds funny but i had a neighbor that noticed the stains on my back lawn where my dogs go and he suggested sliced black olives. We bought a small can and within a week it worked. We use an eighth of a cup with every meal. We now go to a wholesale club and mix them into the dog food. I swear by it.

I had read that you can add cranberry juice to your dog's water to prevent the grass from yellowing. I don't remember how much cranberry juice to add to what amount of water. Maybe you can research this and find out the measurements.

In the Fosters and Smith dog catalog there are products for this. I think they are pills or additives to their food.

I have two dogs, one female, and we have no problems with the grass at all and they always use the same area of the lawn. They eat Hill's Science Diet Senior 7+. Maybe it's the food or a combination of lawn chemicals and dog urine or the grass type. We don't use any products on our lawn at all and cut with a reel mower (no motor), so we get a longer cut and are not as harsh on the grass. We also never water the lawn, so we don't get any chlorine on it from treated water. (And yes, we do have thick grass.) Unfortunately, I don't know what type of grass we have.

I can offer advice that will prevent future dying grass.

NatureVet makes a product called GrassSaver. It's a vitamin and amino acid supplement for dogs which will neutralize the pH of your dog's urine so it won't burn the lawn. I order it from PetEdge, but you can probably find it at any pet supply store.

At our garden club meeting last month, the county agriculture representative said the only thing you can do is follow your dog and dilute the urine with lots of water. In other words, there's nothing convenient you can do.
