How to Stop Dog Urine Stains on Your Lawn
If you’ve got a dog and a lawn, chances are you’ve seen those unsightly yellow patches caused by urine. It’s frustrating when you’re trying to keep your grass lush and green.
But here's the good news: with a few smart strategies, you can protect your lawn and keep your dog happy at the same time.
What You'll Learn
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Identify whether urine is the real culprit behind lawn stains
- Understand the science behind why dog pee damages grass
- Prevent and reverse damage with affordable, proven techniques
Quick Tips to Prevent Damage
- Create a designated potty area: Use gravel or mulch and train your dog to use it.
- Avoid lawn pees in the morning: The first pee of the day is typically more concentrated—take your dog for a walk instead.
- Keep your lawn strong: Regular mowing, watering, and feeding make grass more resilient. Our iGrow Carpet system helps too!
- Experiment with dog rocks or dietary tweaks: These may help reduce nitrogen levels, but results vary per dog.
- Water after your dog pees: Use a watering can to quickly dilute the area. It’s effort, but it works.
