dog urine?

[Freedom]

This sounds nutty, but it works. Have a water can full of water ready. Each time he pees, immediately soak that spot with no less than 1 pint (2 cups) of water. This dilutes the minerals which are too strong for the grass, and you avoid the yellow spots.

I know someone who just keeps a small pot with water (picked it up at a yard sale) it holds the right amount of water, and she fills it each time, leaves it by the back door ready for the next trip. With 4, I need MORE than one pot of water, lol. Anyway, each time out, she picks it up as she goes by, uses it, refills it from the hose, sets it back in place for the next trip. (Yes, she is VERY organized. )

ok, doesn't sound nutty. we pretty much do that but we spray it off when we are home with the hose. haha! This isn't working though. first of all, he pees for a good 30 seconds. This is a long time. I mean, its a lot of urine...
second, we cant watch him all day to spray it off, plus I think we are drowning the grass, I mean actually drowning it by the time he goes and we are spraying it off. We have herd there is a natural herb you can ad to their food like a powder that helps, um... black olives(??????) , tomato juice? My mom was just trying to find stuff but I told her no people food, to many risks for poisons. I tried to find the post from a couple months ago that was talking about poisonous foods but I couldn't end up finding it.
I was going to ask if anybody knew what was OK for them to eat, if they have herd of any of this.. and what your thoughts were?

Has your dog been checked by the vet to be sure the drinking alot of water and urine strength isn't a UTI, or kidneys or diabetes problem?

I second the vet check. Diet is also a big factor.

he has already been to the vet for it. We tested fecal, urine, blood, and brain pretty much. Anything and everything has been tested for problems or infection. He started to limp a little bit a while back and I immediately called it, he tore his ACL. He is a little overweight but no diabetes. Other than that, nothing medically wrong with him with infection, or with his organs. Just looking holistically for something to give him to see if it can make it not so hard on the grass.
