About this episode

Travis Shaddox responds to audience questions about the longevity of dog urine spots in turfgrass and explains the underlying science.

In this video, I respond to comments and emails and answer a common question: Why do dog urine (pet) spots last so long in turfgrass? We break down the science behind nitrogen burn, salt injury, and recovery limitations in lawns. If you’ve ever struggled with dog spots, lawn damage, or uneven turf recovery, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening—and what actually works. #turfgrass #lawncare #dogspots #soilscience #fertilizer #lawntips #turfgrassepistemology 📌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/TurfgrassEpistemology Thank you for being part of this community and for supporting evidence-based turfgrass science.
