How do I get rid of pet waste burn on my lawn?
We tried this and it seemed fairly effective at preventing new burns in the lawn. Training the dog to pee elsewhere (i.e., behind the bushes, against the fence) was a more long-term solution, so we’ve discontinued the Lawn-Guard pills. I’ve also heard of people having success with following the dog out and dumping a bucket of water on the spot. This dilutes the nitrogen enough to prevent lawn burns, but you have to be willing and able to constantly monitor your dog. (Our dog can freely come and go from house to yard most of the day, so the bucket method wasn’t an option for us.
I was just going to suggest the tomato juice. Totally supposed to work; I’m just waiting to get to the grocery store to try it with our cattle dog. What I read suggested one tablespoon at each feeding, mixed into the food. FWIW, I’ve also found that when we switched to a premium all-meat kibble and moist food the burn spots decreased in number radically . . .
