Why Does Dog Urine Burn The Grass?

Dog urine has very high nitrogen content, and tends to have a high ph level as well. The concentration of nitrogen in one spot is too high, and as a result, the grass dies, while an outer ring seems to expand.

These circular, brown spots in the lawn typically appear after a spell of dry, hot weather. Damage from dog urine can also appear as light yellow to dark green spots in the grass. The light yellow and brown patches are the equivalent to fertilizer burn. As the salts are leached out, the grass will grow back, typically with a vengeance.

Controls: To prevent this from happening, leach the urine from the lawn immediately after occurrence by soaking the area with water. Unfortunately, this type of damage often occurs in lawns of non-dog-owning people. Repellents have been designed to discourage a variety of animals from just this action, dogs included. Another way to prevent your dog from urinating on the same spot continuing to keep the same spot brown, eventually killing that spot, is to use the Grass Patch. The Grass Patch, will instantly cover that brown area with a nice green colorant and will usually take away the smell of the dog urine, that normally is what attracts the dog to continue to pee on that same spot. http://www.naturalgreengrasspatch.com
