Question by erik69311: Does anyone know any home remedies for dog pee burns on my lawn?
My dogs urine is leaving burn spots on my lawn, i have heard that giving dogs tomato juice can help with this. Does anyone have any experience with this or know of any other methods?
My dog is approximately 9 months old, and has been on pedigree puppy since i brought him home 6 months ago. Will be weaning him onto adult dog food soon.
Where did I say i had a poodle? I have a Jack Russell/ Aussie Shepard mix.

your dog is probably having problems with liver or kidneys and is producing crystals that will kill the lawn. my dad had this problem with his dog. all it took was a change in dog food. take a urine sample to the vet and then ask them about different food options.

Our landscaper told us the only sure way was to dump a bucket of water on the spot right after the dog pee’s. We have a Newfoundland and rather than carry a HUGE bucket we’ve trained her to go in one area.
My dog always peaed on my favorite flowers. [male]
This friend said take a empty milk jug and fill it with water and put it in a place you want him to urinate. I mean somewhere in the yard he has to go? It is the right height like a fire hydrant they love to pea on it. He used it and solved our problem. However, rather than a milk jug in the yard the pet store now has bright red plastic fire hydrants. YOu fill them with sand and they love to pea on them. They look cute in the yard. But anything about that shape and height works.
Then praise them when they do it. One guy has a nome in the yard for his dog to pea on. Surround it with gravel and nothing has to die.
Hosing the area of grass that has just been peed on will help.
It will wash away and dilute the pee.
Watch for where your dog goes and then follow behind with the garden hose to dilute the urine.
The pee burns are caused by the high concentration of acid and nitrogen in their urine. Hey, it’s the nature of urine. if you pee peed on the lawn it would do the same thing.
Only fencing will prevent this.
What you might also want to do is to train your dogs to use a specific spot as their bathroom. Take them out on leash over to their “spot” and praise them to the stars and moon for their using that spot to pee/poo. After they’ve emptied, let them loose in their “play place” (your yard). If they pee anywhere else, scold them and take them to their designated bathroom. Then praise them for using the right spot.
Just like training them to not pee pee in the house.
Thing is, until they have a reliable routine about their bathroom, you have to supervise their outside activities. so you can’t just turn Jack and Jill out by themselves and expect them to “go there” any time soon. And even at that – they’ll probably make mistakes.
Yes. Close your eyes. The dog is more important than the lawn.
A veterinarian should always be consulted before any changes are made to your Poodle’s diet. Reducing the protein content might prove beneficial; average dogs don’t need high protein foods. Since some proteins are easily digestible, this results in more urine and should be avoided. Dilution of the urine should be attempted by providing more liquids; alternatively, feeding canned food, adding water to food, and adding salt or garlic salt to the food might help to dilute the urine. Tomato juice; vinegar; or baking soda, all with a high content of salt and water, might be a good addition to the diet. Although salt can help with dilution, it might have side-effects for dogs with preexisting kidney or heart conditions. A supplement made from Mojave Yucca might help to make the urine less toxic.
