The Real Impact of Pet Urine on Lawns and How to Fix It

Love your dog but hate the yellow patches on your lawn? Pet urine is a common cause of dead spots across gardens in Chichester, Emsworth and beyond.

Why It Happens:

– Dog urine is high in nitrogen and salts

– Repeated exposure “burns” the grass

– Female dogs and small lawns are most affected

How to Fix It:

– Water the area immediately after urination to dilute

– Rake and reseed dead patches

– Use pet-friendly lawn repair products

– Train your dog to use one area

Pro Lawn Tip:

Add lime to neutralise acidic soil, and overseed with strong, resilient grass varieties.
