I read somewhere that female dog urine tends to cause more brown spots in grass vs. male dogs. Has anyone found any supplements that seem to help this situation. Fwiw I will weed n feed this weekend.

You get the brown spots from the nitrogen overload. The only thing I found to work is washing/watering down the grass to dilute.

The pills don't work and are not really healthy for the dog and the shite they sell at the pet store to spray on the spots doesn't work.

Was just reading up on lawn issues this morning. According to this site, it's nitrogen overload. Only real solution appears to be to water to dilute shortly after the dog takes a piss.

Saw something recently about a company that makes these fake rocks that you put in the dog bowl and it filters out all the bad stuff that kills the grass. Not sure if they work but the reviews looked promising.

Not entirely true. What food are you feeding her, and how much?

A lot has to do with the amount of protein in their urine.
