The problem of dogs urine burning our lawns is a common one, the end result is dead lawn patches that not only look ugly and take a long time to repair, but often leave lawn owners looking for a solution to keep their lawn green. As we’ll see, we shouldn’t be looking for a quick repair when the problem occurs, but looking at lawn care and dog care that compliment each other and reduce the occurrence and severity of damage of dog urine damaging our lawns.
The lawn is burnt from the excess nitrogen in the dogs urine, so whenever the dog pees, the lawn is burnt. I hear some readers asking “doesn’t lawn need nitrogen for it’s health?” “Isn’t nitrogen required to make a lawn green?” Absolutely is the short answer, the problem happens because dog urine contains too much nitrogen, more than the lawn can handle.
Onto an old wives (or husbands) tale about male versus female dogs being responsible for the damage. Well the answer is that we can squarely put the blame on the female dog! Why? Because when male dogs pee they usually lift their leg and leave small deposits against trees, bushes, walls and similar places which act as “marker posts” for their scent, now when the female dog pees she usually squats on the lawn and relieves her entire urine package in one single action. This means more urine in one spot, which is usually on the lawn, this means dead spots!
We’ve seen the why and how, now lets have a look at fixing the problem which comes down to the nitrogen content in the urine. High nitrogen urine results from the h igh protein in the dogs diet, so lets fix that. Start by adding some vegetables into the dogs meals, this is just plain good health care for your dog because they need variety and ruffage from vegetables for a balanced and natural diet, this will reduce the nitrogen levels in the pee.
Another reason why nitrogen levels raise is due to the quality of protein being used in the dogs food. Basically, cheap dog food contains cheap protein sources which are often bypassed within the dog and converted directly into nitrogen. Whereas higher quality dog food is used more to nourish the dog and less is converted into nitrogen by the dogs system.
The next important thing with this lawn care tip is exercise! The more a dog is exercised, the more protein will be consumed from it’s feeding and the less nitrogen will be created, which would normally be deposited onto our beautiful lawn.
Isn’t that great news! The dog gets a better feed, becomes healthier and reduces the damage to your lawn when they go pee! It’s as easy as that!
Last of all I’m going to make mention of a recent fad around the world to fix this problem, I’m not going to mention the product specifically because I don’t want to promote these types of potentially dangerous products. These companies want us to some products that we put into our dogs food or water to reduce nitrogen levels in the pee. Well… don’t do it! Ever! We would be messing around with our dogs digestive system with unknown results, remember the dog can’t complain to us when it’s had a stomach ache for the past 3 years now can it, all we’ll see is a miserable and destructive dog that the family really may not like anymore. Now really we don’t want to mess with our dogs health do we? Best to show our love, treat our dogs well, look after them, keep them happy and healthy by following a few very simple dog and lawn care routines, and keep enjoying our dog’s inclusion in our families.
