Dog RocksUrine Patch Preventer (200g) / Natural Dog Urine Neutraliser for Water Bowls, Grass Repair, Urine Burn Patch Repair

I started using these after a recommendation from a friend, and noticed a significant improvement in the lawn.Then, slowly I saw patches appearing on the lawn, and having read many mixed reviews, I used them on and off for a few years (maybe continuing to use them, but not replacing them as often), with mixed results.That said, I stopped using them completely for 3 months and REALLY noticed a difference in the lawn i.e. a LOT more burn patches, which led me to think about why they maybe were not working when I was using them. Simple answer - ALL of the dogs water sources need to be treated, and the tangible difference in effectiveness on my lawn also coincided with ... installing my ponds.My dog drinks out of the pond, drinks from plant pot saucers, drinks from containers in the garden that have filled with rain water, and she drinks from the bottle I take out when we go for long walks - filled straight from the tap. Duh! Basically, she will drink from everywhere except the treated water if she has the option - not because it has dog rocks, but because the other sources all probably taste nicer not originating from the tap!Since I've removed the other options, and now fill her walkies drinking bottle from an old water filter jug that now contains dog rocks and not a Brita filter (note to guests, use the fridge for drinking water not the Brita jug) .... no lawn burn at all.I don't doubt these rocks may not work for all dogs, but when my dog drinks primarily from 'dog rock water' (I'm never going to stop her slurping puddles and the like!) the burn is absolutely minimal.My advice - use dog rocks and think about the other water sources available to your dog and try to treat or minimize them.This is the reason I give them 5 stars overall but only 3 stars for ease of use - its not the product, its the nature of our dogs!

I've been using Dog Rocks for several years now and I keep using them because when they work they are brilliant - no yellow patches in my lawn, no dead patches.BUT I have found that whatever it is in the rocks that gives them superpowers is unreliable. Some rocks are brilliant and work very well, whereas others have no effect whatsoever. To be honest, when I realise I've got a dud pack I just bite the bullet and buy another pack and it's usually OK.I guess that the 'magic' in these stones is natural and, as such, is not quality controlled and is therefore purely hit and miss. It would also explain why some people find them useless yet others find them miraculous. I have decided that the cost of a packet (high though it is) is less than the cost of a new lawn.

Having used this product in the past I can say it does work! I bought this product again for my brothers dog, unfortunately he doesn't like the rocks in his water bowl and as a result did not drink for a couple of hours! Until we realised and filled a different bowl without the rocks with water he was then happy to drink from. My advice is before buying put a dummy rock in the bottom of your dogs bowl to see if they are okay drinking from it.Other than that great product works to keep your garden green and lush just a shame that my brothers dog is a bit of a diva, ;D

Don't know why the review page would only take 4* because it's a 5* product?Been using it a month now and we're totally amazed at the difference in our lawn, no more new yellow burnt patches and the old ones are almost gone. I bought a jug thingy from The Range for less than a fiver and it works a treat, got to say you have to be consistent with only letting your dog drink your water but it no great hassle once you get in the habit of taking their water with you outside of your home. Highly recommended.

And if you stop and think - why would they? It's not a filter like a mountain spring filtered over thousands of years; it's not a chemical reaction that's going to work as quickly as you fill the bowl each 12 hours....so I bought a filter jug, at half the price, and now have filtered water for my dog, as well as the kettle and the coffee machine. AND it has helped the urine burns. Brill.

Can’t fault the product as never got chance to see if it worked. My dog would just not touch his water with the rocks in so I had to remove them after 24 hrs. They’re now in my garden on my rockery lol.

Hard to say if these did much, grass was still getting burn patches during the months we used it so feels more like buying overpriced rocks.

Good product
