bonniebird Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi all, probably nothing can be done, but any advice on getting rid of brown pee patches? Edie pee's on there everyday and I want her to have the run of the garden, and I could train her to pee in one part of the garden, but in the middle of the night, in the dark etc, well you get me. To be honest as well, it took me long enough to housetrain her and I don't want any negativity on her peeing in garden Thanks Karen x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Not an instant cure and won't get rid of bits already burned but have you heard of these dog rocks Might be worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spins4me Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've never tried this stuff so this sin't a recommendation , just came across it when I was looking on a pet supplies site: http://www.green-um.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 a bitches pee is far more concentrated than a dogs, i used to put a bit of tomato sauce on my girls dinner each night, it seemed to do the job, not sure how or why but it worked, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've heard tomato juice neutralises the wee so it doesn't burn so much, but haven't tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 All you need to do is chuck a bucket of water over where she's wee'd to dilute it, bit of a pain in the middle of the night tho' I wonder why some bitches wee does that to grass and not others ........Daisy's doesn't, is it her, her diet, or the grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've tried tomato juice (but wasn't consistent enough with it on what was already a very patchy / dead grass) though I did see some improvement. If I remember rightly a tablespoon & a half added to the meal was what I originally read recommended by some gardener in a newspaper. If you don't want to add that (someone on DP once queried salt in it?) I also tried diluting a litre of cheap tomato juice with water & then watering the garden with it - appeared to have a similar benefit. It works simply because it's an alkaline & although I haven't tried these myself anything sufficiently alkaline to neutralise the urines acidity should work similarly - eg Gardeners World suggests adding horticultural lime or powdered gypsum to the water, as this will neutralise the acid. http://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/probl...care-dog-urine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my bitches developed bladder stones due to her urine being too alkaline. It was only when this happened that I realised the grass didn't go brown where she peed.

Tisaann Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 When we laid the new lawn we got Rosie some tablets that worked wonders. Can't remember what they were called but they were from Pets at home. We don't use them now though as the grass has 'toughened up' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Awwww, now I'm paranoid............any suggestions on how to change it ? Had trouble replying until now! My bitch was given tablets to acidify her urine. She just had one a day and had no more trouble. I don't think vets would give her anything unless there was a problem. You could always get some ph test strips from a chemist, or probably the vets, and check her urine if you are worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel n Hardy Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 a bitches pee is far more concentrated than a dogs, i used to put a bit of tomato sauce on my girls dinner each night, it seemed to do the job, not sure how or why but it worked, I think it has something to do with the levels of ammonia in the wee check with your vet, it could be diet related as to the concentration levels empty a watering can where they wee would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniebird Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks for all your advice. I am watering her wee's and got the dog rocks from pets @ home for there water. I took rocks to the vet tonight to make sure they were safe, she said they have no problem whatsoever in Australia (where this vet comes from) with them and they are natural, so here go's, watch this space.

blackmagic Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Just be careful the dog doesn't try to eat them, as has been reported elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
