It’s the nitrogen in dog urine that burns the grass. I’ve found that Zoysia grass is more adversely affected this time of year, much more so than during the active growing season. As has already been recommended, the best thing is to pour water directly on the spot right after your dog pees. It’s not as daunting a task as it sounds, the first pee-break in the morning is the most important time. I would advise against trying to change the natural PH levels via commercial or home remedies, especially for dogs prone to kidney or bladder issues.
