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?

-Tim

You have a male dog. Females are the lawn killers.
