Dog Urine Odour

[Pip59]

I've got a few patches in the garden where the dogs habitually pee. These areas are getting a bit stinky; does anyone know of, or even better used with success, anything that will eliminate the smell? Needs to be safe on grass, soil and dogs! I'm not worried about the urine burning the grass (or what's left of it). Tried dog rocks in their drinking water for that problem but they just kept on picking them out of the bowl! In the past I've literally dug the area up and replaced it with fresh soil but would rather not have to keep doing this.

Regards,

Richard.

Watching this thread with interest.

Our older lab has a habit of peeing on the base of the rotary clothes line. Whenever I remove the clothes line to cut the grass the smell is overpowering, despite regularly flushing the hole out with copious amounts of water from the hosepipe.

Rain...

More rain...

Assuming your dog hasn't got an infection, it's just ammonia overload, dilution is the solution to pollution. Set up an automatic sprinkler and get the mower out afterwards.

Control, dont let the dog p1ss where you don't want to have a stink

We used to have this with our Labrador, so I did some research and discovered that you can retrain your dog to pee where you want him to. So I built a wooden frame on a concrete slab not too far from a drain,
(1 metre square, 4x1 planks) and filled it with decorative chippings/gravel. I used gravel because he would pee and it would puddle around his feet, then get walked through the house. Now it drains through the gravel.

I soaked an old rag in his pee and left it on the gravel for a few days. He now pees on there every time. Every three days or so I turn the hose on it.

Super, thank you.

This is exactly what Chiltern Railways have done at Marylebone station in London

If you empty a bottle of ketchup into a watering can of warm water the smell will go instantly.
The Yanks use it on Skunk spray too...

Also, baking soda diluted in water should make the smell go away. Yanks do that too.

Fortunately , I live in the great white north , dog pee freezes instantly . I pick it up with a shovel , problem solved . In the immortal words of Frank Zappa , " watch out where the Huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow " .

Is this true?

Yes, I did it when my dog got sprayed by a skunk years ago. Local US boys advice was tomato sauce .

The acids in tomato may have a bit to do with this, never tried on skunk scent or for that matter P. I got my old lab to vary his tree watering and that worked for me.

My wife is a hair dresser and if someone comes in with a messed up dye job they use tomato juice to neutralise the colour straight away .

 

[alberta boy]

I've used Tomato juice on my dogs a number of times after they've been skunked , it works . I've found shooting any Skunks on my property when ever I see them works better YMMV .
