Best Answer

The dying of grass caused by dog urine is also called "Lawn Burn". Lawn burn is caused by the nitrogen in dog urine. Because dog urine is very high in nitrogen, when the dog urinates, it is similar to pouring liquid fertilizer on the lawn. A little fertilizer is good for the grass, but an excess causes nitrogen burn. The prevention of lawn burn deals with trying to reduce the amount of nitrogen coming into contact with the grass. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1551&articleid=1493
