MrTed46 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I have two female boxers and their pee is wrecking my lawn. Anybody else deal with this and have a solution? Thanks. My pitbull destroyed my parents lawn by peeing on it. We got these pills that are supposed to help not destroy grass but it was VERY hard to give the dog the pill everyday and I am not even sure it was working. I think the best thing to do is train your dogs to pee on a particular patch so the entire lawn wont be burned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegiebo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I have 2 female dachshunds and their wizz spots are definitely apparent in the yard. So, yeah, I deal with it, but, no, I don't have a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We've got the same problem. I think you can manage it somewhat by diet, but I don't remember how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote Quimby2 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I have heard about pills, but wasn't sure how effective or safe they were for them. I've been trying to get them to go in just one area as well and then just water the area down when they are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That's funny, we have two dogs that pee on both the front and backyard lawns and we've had no issues. Though I understand it's a problem for some. We don't give them pills or anything but we do feed them premium food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The mastiff we had when we were first married would cause the grass to sprout! It was incredible how much more lush the yard would look where he'd pee...and, fwiw, we fed him premium food, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSUChiefsTarheelFan Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 make them pee on the carpet. A wipe up, and a little Fabreeze, and you are good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 That's what you have neighbors for. I'm pretty sure diet has some to do with it, but the best & easiest solution is to water the spots where she pees to dilute the acidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Found some good info here. Some people say a little tomato juice clears the problem, but to make sure your dog's stomach can handle it first. I have a female dog as well & have the same problem every now & then. I know that dog can and has eaten just about anything & not get an upset stomach so I'm going to give it a try. If that doesn't work I'm going to look for some of the store bought products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 You can spray the grass with a hose to dilute the area. Females tend to concentrate on one spot and males spread the business around a little more. But males could still cause a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulzale Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have heard that there is too much nitrogen in the urine for the grass to use and it burns the lawn, like when you spill fertilizer on a spot. I have heard that not only watering, but adding lime to the spot and then watering helps break down the nitrogen. I haven't tried this, but my grass seems to have toughened up over the years and isn't sensitive to it as much. Also, our female dog now has prescription food, so that maybe part of the reason.

I Come In Peace Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Dump the dog & get yourself a cat. They pretty much take care of themselves & then if you decide don't like them they make a great stew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 My brother in law used the pills and it was working great but they constipated the dog so he stopped using them. We just split my yard in half. there side looks like Afghanistan and our side looks nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
