I dont think it was the season change since its pretty much the same season
right now as it was a month ago in my area of So. California.
My problem now is no longer the burn spots, but rather the damaged areas
that get too much water and when the dogs stand on their hind legs to look
over the fence they have basically killed all the grass in certain areas
because it was too wet.
I've told my landlady about this to have the gardners come over and see if
it's getting too much water for the area. Since this is a wooden fence that
surrounds the small front yard, it gets sun, but near the edges of the fence
it loses sun real early in the day and I dont think the drainage is proper
so it just sits totally wet all day in certain areas. So far I havnt heard
back from the gardners, but Ive taken it upon myself to manually turn the
sprinkler valve off every other day, since its programmed to come on each
morning for 10 minutes and this is too much for the drainage of the soil in
my yard. Although it doesnt run off, it soaks in, but it doesnt drain away
if that makes any sence.
Anyway, with my last home it didnt matter what season it was, the dogs burn
spots would be a year round event.
I've not noticed any adverse effects with the dogs, they are still
eliminating the same, still eating the same, same-o same-o. They go into
the vet next month for their checkup so I'll also have him do a urine, and
blood panel to make sure, but they are healthy and the lawn is staying green
(other than what I mentioned above).

I bought some pills for the dogs, and administered as directed, 4 for

large dog 2x a day for the first 2 weeks, then 4 pills a day, and 3 for

honestly say that I do NOT see any further grass burning than was there
originally before administering the pills.
Theres a total of about 8 or 10 burn spots, but nothing new anymore.
The stuff is called NatureVet Grass Saver.
Im stoked, though I do hate paying out the additional $15.00 a bottle
whenever I run out.
Now I just need to reseed the dead spots and have a really nice lawn
again.
Don't want to rain on your parade, but did it coincide with the season
change? Also, I hope it's ok for the dog..
