Dog Rocks – Prevent Lawn Burn from Dog Urine Naturally
Dog Rocks are a natural and effective solution designed to prevent lawn burn caused by dog urine. These mineral-based rocks are placed in a dog’s water bowl to reduce the level of nitrates in their drinking water. By lowering the nitrate concentration in urine, Dog Rocks help prevent the formation of unsightly yellow patches on grass. This product is a simple and chemical-free way to maintain a healthier lawn without altering a dog’s natural hydration process.
What Causes Lawn Burn from Dog Urine?
Lawn burn occurs when dog urine contains high levels of nitrates, which can damage grass. Nitrates are a natural by-product of protein metabolism in dogs. When a dog consumes protein, it is broken down in the digestive system, and the excess nitrogen is excreted through urine.
When urine with a high nitrate concentration is repeatedly deposited on the same patch of grass, it overwhelms the soil’s ability to absorb and break down the nitrogen. This leads to scorched, yellow patches surrounded by healthy green grass. The problem is particularly noticeable in well-fertilised lawns, as additional nitrogen from fertilisers can make the grass more sensitive to excess nitrates.
Female dogs are often more likely to cause visible lawn burn because they tend to urinate in one concentrated area. However, all dogs can contribute to the problem, particularly if they have a protein-rich diet.
