Default Female dog bare spots/lawn

Hello the lawn.garden group,

For some reason (introduction of wet food into the diet? age?), where she
urinates now? A dead area of non-grass appears. Now that Spring has

sprung
here, and the grass is greening up, it more than obvious that I have major
problems.


Ditto here.

We have a male dog but he was "fixed" at 7 weeks and therefore doesn't lift
his leg.

In the summer, we follow him out to go, and dump a small bucket of water on
the spot. That's enough to keep the grass from killing.

In the winter, I had figured that the snow would be enough to dilute the
stuff, but, like you, our yard is starting to wake up with many, many "brown
spots". The lawn isn't green enough to see how bad our problem is yet, but
if all the "browner" areas are indeed dead, I have a major issue at hand.

Anyone have any magic solution, short of scraping and reseeding each of
these spots? Will the areas eventually "fix themselves" or does normal
mowing prevent this from happening?
