Dog Urine Burns on St. Augustine Lawn
Posted on 7/24/16 at 5:15 pm

Anyone know how to get rid of this? I've tried watering heavily and have forced the dogs to urinate elsewhere. The soil is still dead after a few months of no urination. I'm highly considering liming the soil now to reduce the acidity. Any other suggestions?

Unfortunately the only thing that has worked for me is to pour some water on the spot immediately after to dilute the urine.

That's what i've read online is that notrogen burn is essentially irrelversible except with time and water.
Im gonna lime my lawn for good measure. Soil ph test is telling me its too acidic.

I have 3 dogs. I planted about 20 pieces of St Aug earlier this year. They decided that's where they wanted to pee everyday. I didn't think anything of it, until almost all of my new sod was dead.

We made a a little area of limestone rocks in our yard and trained our lab to pee there.

The only 'for sure' method to get rid of this is to get rid of the dawg.

There are chews that you can give a dog that is supposed to help. Also, sometimes it's the food they're eating. Right now, with it being so hot where I'm at, nothing is helping. Usually as long as there is moderate rain, my back yard has no issues since we've switched foods.

I have seen a dog food additive that is supposed to neutralize this.

I've tried everything as I have a large female dog and a small yard, nothing works. I have a 10 sq ft area or so I've just given up on. In the summer if I get good rain then it will start to come back, but she toasts it in the winter when it goes dormant.
I've done all the research, the only option that actually works is to train them to go somewhere else or that you want.

What type of food did you switch to? My dog is on Iams right now and figured that I would just have to live with the bare spots for a week or so, until they grew back.

Yeah, looks like dye. Prolly be cheaper to buy some hunter green spray paint. 
I can live with the spots in the yard, but if something as simple as changing her food would help, I would be willing to try.
ETA: Just realized this was my 400th post in 9 years. I need to lie down and take a nap. This 44 post a year average is killing me.

Food is the difference with our dog. He was on Authority (petsmart brand) and leaving dead spots. Putting him on Pro Plan Savor stopped it. Tried 4 health from Tractor Supply recently and he started leaving spots again, so we're staying on Pro Plan

Had the same problem. I saw these dog treats from Petco. Figured it wasn't going to work, especially when it said it might take 30 days to make a difference. Well within a month or so I noticed them disappearing. And it's been four months now and my yard has no more issues. It's called GrassSaver biscuits. I give her one in the morning and one in the evening.
