How Can I Get the Smell of Dog Urine Off My Grass Without Killing It?

Having a yard can be convenient if you have a dog. You don't need to walk the dog every time it has to urinate, and it will have ample space in which to run and play. Having a dog in your yard can be a problem for your grass, however. Dog urine is an alkaline substance that can affect the pH level of your yard and eventually kill your grass. It also contains a lot of nitrogen, which is also harmful to grass. Dog urine can make your grass smell bad and can keep you from enjoying your yard. Remove the smell of dog urine from your lawn with odor-neutralizing products.
