Different breeds can have different acidity levels in their urine and cause the grass to die off. What was happening to the grass in the place you lived before you moved to the Villages..?

Both our goldens' urine killed/kills the grass in Michigan (blue grass, I think), despite the urine neutralizing pills from Drs. Foster and Smith. I was hoping the zoysia grass would be tougher, but not the case. It still turns brown. Our dog loves to veg out on a run in the backyard, and I can't catch every time he pees to wash it down with water. Since the backyard is only 10 feet deep and ends at a wall, we've kind of designated that as a throwaway spot.
But now we're having that landscaped, and I'm really interested in trying the tomato juice or ketchup routine. Of course, since we're from Pittsburgh it must be Heinz.
