Dog Pee in Potential Garden Site
Hello from New England, USA ---
I apologize in advance if this inquiry is distasteful, but we have an elderly arthritic (but so beloved) Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog who tends to pee not far from our back (kitchen) door stoop, especially during the winter months when snow and ice deter her from venturing farther. We would like to develop her current "pee area" into a more respectable entry way, while urging her to go a bit farther out back. We're thinking of paving with brick outside the kitchen door stoop (because it could be hosed down frequently), but, continuing outside that area, are there any hardy plants that could withstand dog urine? Sorry to be so blunt, but welcoming any advice with thanks .... Patricia |

I don't think taking away the grass for slabs is going to make her want to venture further out into the snow! Usually bitches urine does make grass go yellow if it is constantly used. Feeding her tomato juice can change the pH of her urine if she will drink it but other than that why not make it gravel? That way it will be easy to sluice down. Otherwise you are going to get wet frozen patches of widdle to endure every time you go out of the back door! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
