Response wasn’t directed at you and not pertinent to single family homes regardless of square feet.

oh lordy....... i wish i had these terrible problems

what will you do when something really dire happens????

sorry, i just do not feel sorry for americans and their obsessions with their perfectly manicured lawns!!!!!! 'cause the only way they got that way were to overuse fertilizers and please don't tell me how much you've spent making it perfect...... i say make it a little less perfect, stop shelling out for the landscaping company or all the fertilizers which aren't good for the ground water anyway..... eventually that fertilizer gets underground, to the aquafiars to the nearest stream, to a river ...... do our ecosystems a favor..... spend less on the lawn and donate your savings to humane societies, to inner city kids who haven't seen a lawn, much less a river. spend more on human beings, abused pets, kids with no summertime outlets for fun in the sun..... be a mentsch, or if ya gotta, put up a fence but first, try harder to be less perfect and more caring about the environment than your lawn. just sayin' !!!!!!

So I'd say you're nuts. If a dog has to go, where is he going to go.......
Some dogs have different metabolism, different food, different health problems, etc. Some dog urine is more concentrated because the dog drinks less water, or has a kidney condition. I had 2 dogs, one dog's urine killed the grass and the other's didn't, and they ate the exact same food. After dog sitting for a friend's dog, we found that even ONE urination was enough to kill a dinner plate sized spot on our lawn. After one week taking care of that dog, our lawn looked like it had a disease! We had even tried flooding the places where she pee'd with a gallon or two of water immediately after she'd pee. It would still die, requiring us to use a lawn patch product to re-seed all the spots.

Check your local laws. We have a law that says if someone lets their animal deposit waste on your property all you need is a video using your cell phone and you can contact the police and they can receive a fine and (or) have to clean it up themselves.

Since this is urine your neighbor might have to lick the grass to remove it.

How about spending all that money spent on dogs—-food, vet bills, grooming, training, etc. and give that money to help feed, clothe and educate poor children. An awful lot of time attention, and money is wasted on dogs. Much better for our society to spend it on children.

You do you. You have no clue what good things others are doing. What a silly rant.

How come people who have dogs of their own still have grass?

When I had a dog, we had plenty of grass in the back yard. No dead spots. Never saw the least bit of evidence that the dog's pee killed the grass.

Have you considered chinch bugs, instead?
This! We have 2 dogs currently and a healthy green yard. (And I don't water or fertilize at ALL)
