Does feeding a dog a spoonful of tomato sauce stop the urine from killing grass?
No. Tomato juice is highly acidic, and since dog urine is already acidic, the tomato juice will just further increase the urine's acidity (decreasing pH), further killing the grass. The only way to stop dog urine from killing the grass is to lime the area where the dog has urinated. Lime has a high pH (or is basic), and as we all know, a base added to an acid will neutralize the solution or an area.

Why is lime added to the soil?
To move the soil pH out of the acidic range is the reason for adding lime to the soil.Specifically, the soil pH levels indicate the soil's acidity, neutrality or alkalinity. The scale runs from zero through 14. Typically, the range of 6.0 or 6.5 to 7.0 is interpreted as neutral. Readings below that range are acidic. Readings above the range indicate an alkaline soil.Adding lime to soil helps to raise the soil pH to a less acidic level and more towards the neutral range in which many edible and ornamental plants grow.
