I have attached some pics of my lawn this month and one from April
(with the dog on).

The grass has been watered regularly and fed twice with Scotts lawn
feed. I have to admit that it seems to have deteriorated since I
applied the feed about 6 weeks ago.

any ideas on what i can do to salvage it? It has also been aerated
twice.

any advice appreciated.

thanks


Dog pee is fertilizer also. It may be fertilizer burned in spots by the
combination. Watering heavily might help that. The dog alone can cause damage.

Urine has too much nitrogen to be placed in one spot. yyou may notice
that while the grass is burned in one spot where the dog peed, the area
around that spot is growing better and higher. If you can, dilute the
pee with water before it can do damage. Watch the dog when it pees and
dilute it with a garden hose ASAP..
I fertilize lighter more often, rather than using full strength applications.
