Dogs Spots on the Boulevard

 Your neighbourhood dog walkers may be diligent in picking up and taking away the doggie doodoo, but they are often less careful where they let the dogs do their No. 1's.

The urea in dog urine will act as a lawn nutrient on the lawn. If your lawn in not well nourished, the lawn will appear spotty.

Cure? Keep your lawn well fed. That way the dog spots will not be as noticeable.
