Worried

Is it normal for a puppies urine to kill grass so easily. My friend within 8 months of puppy ownership has virtually no grass left, even though the majority of his toilet is done while on walks.

He also has pretty constant red eyes. He's going to the vets tomorrow, but would welcome your opinions.

Re: Worried

Glad to hear avets appointment has been made regarding the eyes.

Our two have wrecked our grass in parts and tyler lifts his leg up everything so you have to watch him,otherwise I'd have no plants left.

Re: Worried

welcome to the joys of owning a dog,
yes you do get killed off grass,
i have been told in the past if you give them tomato ketch up its ment to stop the urine killing the grass off.
dont know if its true or not, but no harm trying it.
