Never had that problem with dogs, only bitches. I know it supposed to be only bitches that cause the problem - I'm not so sure. We have 1 dog and 1 bitch - could be just the bitch I suppose. AIUI bitches tend to squat and do it all in one place: dogs tend to want to reserve it for scenting and only do a little at a time. The /only/ effective treatment that I know of is to have a bucket of water to hand by the door, follow her out and chuck the water where she's been. The problem is 'burn' from an overdose of Nitrogen. You should see that when (if on a small lawn ) it re-grows it does so far more green and vigorous. The water dilutes the overdose of N. Nothing you can feed to her will reduce the urea concentration in her urine, I'm afraid. Never heard of dog-rocks, though mine does. |
