I've read some folks being a bottle of water on walks to dilute the pee so it's less likely to ruin grass. But in fairness if some dog pee is ruining grass, owners are not watering their lawns enough. There are plenty of dogs in my neighborhood that are walked and I don't think there are many pee spot issues.
But even better would be to not use grass :) uses too much water in the first place hehe
As someone not from the US. What in the world are you guys doing with your grass that makes it need watering and gets ruined by dog pee?
I have lived around dogs my entire life and never seen any grass get miscolourd by their pee.
I'd guess it's the building cities in the inhospitable desert that does it.
Well that is definitely not helping.
Oh we we water it with bud light
There's essentially no difference between Bud Light and dog pee, so the grass should react the same in both scenarios.
That explains so much.
Brawndo has what lawns crave.
As someone not from the US, your pets probably aren't fed horrible food options multiple times throughout the day. You (your fellows in general) probably got your pet knowing it wasn't an ornament. And you probably don't have grass that is so heavily genetically modified that it can't filter the poison most of these animals piddle out. Yes, we get burn spots in lawns. Yes also, most of us are slowly killing our pets. Who has time to train an animal? Who has time to feed them a diet that is remotely in tune with their biology?
What are you talking about? The grass burns from dog pee because urine has nitrogen in it and the grass is over fertilized.
