I found this stuff online and I was wondering if anyone has used this before? Or maybe if you have a better solution. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...&N=2001+113111
This is what it says about it's use:
Eliminate the damaging effects pet waste has on your lawn. This effective nutritional supplement with plant extract Yucca schidigera also contains essential B Vitamins and other healthy ingredients.
Regular Strength Tablets help reduce lawn burn by getting at the cause – the urea and ammonia in your pet's waste. Contains Yucca schidigera, which helps fight lawn burn by binding ammonia in urine to prevent lawn damage. Yucca also decreases fecal odor. Liver flavor. For dogs only. |
I used to co-own a lawn fertilizing company. A dog's urine is full of urea and amonia by nature (female dogs have a higher content) which when combined with sunlight and warmth will burn the grass. Rinsing with plain water will reduce effects as will treating the lawn with Lime with neutralizes the acid.
I'm not sure I would give my very small dog a supplement not intended specifically for him/her without consulting my vet first, particularly since simple steps can keep the lawn looking great.
