Lawn Care tips

Yellow grass spots?
Trampled flower beds?
Tipped garbage cans?
Surprises in the sandbox?

If you have pets, you’ve probably experienced many of these problems. Perhaps you’ve given up on your dream of having a beautiful lawn AND having a pet.

Now you can have both!  With a little training and some help from NaturVet’s GrassSaver, Off Limits, No Dig! and Yard Odor Killer products, you can create the outdoor space that both you and your furry friends can enjoy together. If your dog has the nasty habit of eating feces, try Coprophagia Deterrent to break the habit!

Yellow Grass and Dog Urine

A dog’s diet is usually heavy in protein, which, when broken down in the body, produces nitrogen waste products.  The nitrogen in dog urine burns the grass, causing yellow or brown patches of dead grass.

There are a few things dog owners can do to prevent these unsightly yellow grass spots:

  1. Build a dog run. Be sure your dog has access to water and shade.  Also, keep it cleaned up and provide additional exercise and stimulation for your four-legged friend.  
  2. Water the effected area every few hours to dilute the nitrogen concentration. (This actually will turn the nitrogen-rich urine into a fertilizer for the grass.)  Unfortunately, frequent watering of grass is not always possible because of local watering ordinances and it can prevent grass from forming a healthy root system.
  3. Anecdotal evidence suggests that adding yogurt to your dog’s diet may help.
  4. Give your dog a daily dose of GrassSaver, a healthy food supplement from NaturVet.

GrassSaver is a combination of B-Complex vitamins, amino acids and biotin. This synergistic combination helps metabolize nutrients better and diminish yellow spots on the lawn.  GrassSaver is effective 98% of the time in reducing the nitrogen content in the urine of dogs who take it regularly.  If this product doesn’t work for your dog, return it for a refund!

For best results with GrassSaver, follow these additional steps for a lush green lawn:

  • Water lawn heavily for two weeks to "rinse".
  • Reseed effected areas after feeding GrassSaver for two weeks.
  • Continue feeding GrassSaver daily.
  • Enjoy your beautiful lawn!

Create an Invisible Barrier

A quick spray of Off Limits will keep your cats out of the sandbox and your dogs away from trash cans. This special combination of natural herbs creates an invisible shield to discourage pets from entering treated areas. Cloves, garlic and thyme oil leave a unfavorable scent that most animals will be repelled by.

Use it around flower beds or on bushes and shrubs. It can also be used on patios and walls to prevent animals from spraying or marking their spots. Off Limits is non-staining and can be used inside on fabrics -- just test it on a small area first.

Stop Unwanted Digging

Dogs have a natural instinct to dig which makes it a difficult habit to break. If your dog is a digger, look for healthy ways to modify his behavior -- like a daily walk or a rigorous game of catch. Use a stern voice and simple commands to indicate that digging is bad. Positive reinforcement, through praise and treats, will yield better and more lasting results than punishment or banishment from the yard.

To reinforce your training, try No-Dig! Spray by NaturVet. No-Dig! is an all-natural herbal and plant compound with special essential oils, formulated to harmlessly help train dogs and cats not to dig up your beautiful yard.
