Hi,
I have a small fenced in grassy area next to my home for my dog to roam
around in. Lately with the summer heat it has developed the sour smell of
urine.
Does anyone know of a simple treatment for this that is not harmful to my
dog?
Thanks



Lime can be sprinkled over the area and watered in and will help, but
really, daily hosing is the only thing that works well for urine. I'm
assuming you are scooping the solids. Teaching your dog to go in one
particular spot instead of the entire area would also at least confine the
problem. You could gravel in in and then it would be feasable to use some
of the organic septic system treatments that digest waste to speed up the
process.
