Question

Will plants die or be harmed in anyway by a dog urinating on them?

They will dry in days!

Answer 2

Yes, it can kill plants

Answer 3

Just wanted to add to the list of completely useless answers here.

Answer 4

Yes dog urine has a lot of nitrogen in it that is a fertilizer.  Poke holes in the ground around the plant and water copiously.  This will help reduce the levels of nitrogen.  Good luck

Answer 5

Female dog pee will kill grass

Answer 6

urine is an acid and can kill plants.  look at the yellow spots in grass.

Answer 9

No actually the elements in urine are just like that of cow c**p... farmers use the p**p of cows to keep the ground fertilized.. in the same way ur plants are being fertilized... dont worry its nothing bad

Answer 10

It kills grass so id guess it kills plants. it might depend on how hardy the plant is

Answer 11

Not a good thing, but not necessarily harmful.

Answer 12

Lol thats a good question my guess it depends on what you feed your dog

Answer 13

Yes it is like pouring ammonia on your plant.  It will smell really bad too. I have even had a tree die because my sheep dog piddled on it daily for two years.  For some reason he loved that tree or hated it.  I am not sure which.  Anyway yes it might kill a plant if it gets too much pee pee on it.

Answer 14

Yes, they can die. Especially if the dog urinates on them repeatedly. Uric acid is in urine (hence the name urine) and it's ph can 'fry' your plants. This is why grass turns brown when it is used as a pee pee spot over and over again.
