deeksofdoom Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Anyone ever come accross this issue with their dog run.... before you say it the run is hosed daily with water and washed out. Was reading up on the internet and there are bits of information about the dog having a urinary tract infection which could be causing release of additional ammonia/urea ..... and yes I will bring the dog to the vet to get her checked out. Anyone ever had a similar issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 Try a tin of chopped up tomatoes in there food i use it to reduce the acid in there urine and it then doesn't leave brown patches on grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 (edited) You can buy UTI testing strips for about £10 - might save you a few quid visiting the vet? Does the Dog drink plenty of water? Edited October 9 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 Be careful with tomatoes, definitely no green ones, no plants, also some tinned tomatoes and sauces can have additives that can be bad. Personally I don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 What’s the run flooring / base made from? Is it concrete? Did you seal it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moochdog Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 If base floor has been screeded rather than concrete and is getting damp could be a cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingdragon Posted October 25 Report Share Posted October 25 Make a solution of biological washing liquid and pour it over the run and let it stand, the enzymes should do their stuff and eat any residues. Make sure the run is clear of bleach otherwise it kills the enzymes. Slightly different issue - my neighbours have a plastic lawn and 4 dogs, now that stinks especially on a warm humid day!!!!
