Grass dying

Keeno

[Help....I am the owner of a six year old husky....when he urinates on the grass, the spot dies almost instantly. Needless to say, my rear yard is destroyed on a yearly basis. Any tips on what I can do to lower the acidic level in my dogs urine?

There are products available yes Dog Rocks is the first that springs to mind. However I know they claim they are safe but are they ideal?

Dog Rocks are mineralised rocks which when placed in a dog’s water bowl changes the nitrogen levels of a dog’s urine, meaning it won’t stain grass.

Many dog owners complain that their grass has been permanently stained or burned by their dog’s urine. There are a variety of products in the market that try to stop dogs urinating on grass, but Dog Rocks are the first that stops urine actually staining grass.

The key element in Dog Rocks is zeolite, which neutralises nitrogen levels without altering the pH level of the water. This is important as a change in pH level can affect a dog’s health.

In addition to lowering the nitrogen level, Dog Rocks have been proven to lower tin levels in the dog's water, while increasing boron, barium, manganese and stronium levels.

Dogrocks has been extensively tested on a variety of puppies and mature dogs, and the product has proven to be safe and effective every time.
