Dog Wizz!

Weird one for you.
My boy stains the grass when he wees. He could be doing worse things so I am not worried about it, however, I always thought it was bitches urine which caused this. Is this a common misconception or is Blitz a hemephrodite? lol

I dont think it is exclusively bitches Lucy but they are much worse. I wouldnt think its anything to worry about.

With bitches it is worse.. (rolls eyes...)

We have those mineral stones in Jax's bowls, they work a little and the scortch marks have gone mostly... The grass does still get a little darker though.

I've seen those mineral stones Jon. Do you keep them in a bowl or a jug you use to top up the bowl. We top up Blitz's bowl up maybe 3-4 times a day - he drinks a lot!! So I don't see it being effective unless it's left to sit in a jug rather than the water which is gone in no time.
And stupid question but does Jaz try and eat the stone?
We may invest and give it a go for when we move x

I leave them in his bowls. He's not once tried to eat it... Jax drinks a lot too.. I noticed that during last weekend when he was drinking more the grass suffered a bit more...

The lawn isn't looking that bad at the moment.
