Safe for all household pets
Safe for all household pets, Dog Rocks do not change the pH balance of the dog’s drinking water or urine; you are not medicating your dog in any way and there are no known side effects. -
Discovered in Australia
First discovered in Australia in the late ’90s, Dog Rocks® were tried and tested for many years and are now used by over a million dog owners worldwide to help stop pet urine from burning their grass.
HOW TO USE DOG ROCKS
Every dog, household and situation is different.
The rule of thumb is 100g Dog Rocks to 1 litre of water.
Dog Rocks come in 100g, 200g and 600g packs.
Try to ensure that all the water your dog drinks has been ‘treated’ by Dog Rocks for maximum effectiveness.
Dog Rocks are naturally mined, we cannot regulate the size more than we do but you should have either 2 or 3 rocks per 200g pack.
Each rock being about the size of a child’s fist, no smaller – to stop your pet ingesting product.
Dog Rocks® are all natural and straight from the earth, and it is necessary to wash them prior to use. A 200g pack is the correct amount for one dog of normal size with an average 2 litre water bowl.
It is important to let the rocks submerge in the water bowl or pitcher 10 hours before use for them to be effective. Leave the rocks in the pitcher and replace every 2 months. Change the water as you normally would. If your dog drinks a lot of water or you frequently top up his or her bowl, put another pack in a pitcher of water and top up from there, that way your water is being treated by Dog Rocks all the time.
Just like your dog, the rocks need water to remain effective. Every time you fill up your dog's water bowl, fill the pitcher back to the 2L (1/2 gallon) mark.
Try to restrict them drinking on a regular basis from puddles, rivers, and streams. Bring water with you when you bring your dog to the office with you or whenever your dog is away from home.
- In times of hot weather you MAY need to “up” your dosage of Dog Rocks purely because your dog will be drinking more water.
- You could put one pack of Dog Rocks in your pet’s water bowl and one pack a jug/pitcher of water and decant from pitcher to water bowl.
- Remember you need one pack (200g) of Dog Rocks in every water bowl your dog drinks from.
- Try to restrict them drinking on a regular basis from puddles, rivers and streams where you can.
- Every dog, household and situation is different, but trust us, once you have found out what “dosage” suits you and your situation, there is no reason to have burn patches on your grass.
- From our tests we have found that Dog Rocks works in 9 out of 10 cases.
- We are 100% here to help if you have queries or questions so please be in touch at hello@dogrocks.com
- Replace your Dog Rocks® every 2 months and for best results, refresh the water at night every two to three days, topping up at night in between
- If your dog removes the rocks from the water bowl, you can place the rocks in a jug (max 2 litres) and fill the water bowl from the jug. Keep the jug topped up at all times
- If you use a large amount of fertilizer on your lawn, it is best to reduce these quantities as it could reduce the effectiveness of Dog Rocks®
- In times of extremely sunny weather you may have to “up” the dosage of Dog Rocks®. It is not exact science and every dog is different, but once you have sussed out what works for you, there is no reason for any more burn patches
- Dog Rocks® may not work as well for a dog or bitch eating a lot of red meat. If you can reduce the red meat content in their diet, you should be able to enjoy a green lawn all year round
- Dog Rocks® isn’t a miracle cure! It won’t bring dead lawns back to life right away, you may need to re-sew and water, but in 9 out of 10 cases it will stop new patches from forming with continual use.
- We find that Dog Rocks work for about 9 out of 10 households because every dog, every situation and every household is different.
- Please read all instructions for use and remember you need 1 whole pack or 200g of Dog Rocks in every 2 litres of water.
FAQs
Dog Rocks are a coherent Rock with a mechanically stable framework meaning no significant mineral particles are released into the pet’s drinking water. In other words, Dog Rocks do not break down or leak anything into the pet’s drinking water. Dog Rocks provide a stable matrix and a micro-porous medium in which active components are able to act as a water purifying agent through ion exchange. So when placed in water, Dog Rocks will help purify the water by removing some nitrates, ammonia and harmful trace elements thereby giving your dog a cleaner source of water and lowering the amount of nitrates found in their diet. This in turn lowers the amount that is expelled in their urine. An overload of nitrates in urine will cause lawns to burn. Dogs do produce nitrates as a by-product from the protein in their diet, but the difference between too much nitrate that will kill the grass and the amount of nitrate that will be good for the grass is very small.
Yes we have customers who use Dog Rocks with pet water fountains very successfully as the water is the same water, it is just being pumped round in a cycle.
Dog Rocks come from Australia. Tests are carried out to ensure that the supply is consistent year on year. The source of the Rocks is native and unique to a particular area in Australia and despite spending on tens of thousands of £ & $ with the best geologists on the planet, we are yet to find another source, so watch this space!
Dog Rocks are 100% natural and will not change the pH balance of your dog’s urine, so they will not harm your dog at all. Please make sure you follow the directions of use.
Dog Rocks act like a sponge or a filter; they reach their saturation point after this period and are no longer able to absorb any more impurities.
Dog Rocks take just 8-10 hours to start working in the water. After 8-10 hours no new burn patches will occur….however it won’t fix the old spots! With proper lawn maintenance you will see vast improvements in 5 weeks. You won’t see any difference in the rock when it’s working.
Dog Rocks are used to help prevent those nasty urine burn patches; they cannot bring back dead lawn back to life. However, with proper lawn care you will start to see a noticeable difference in around 5 weeks.
Yes, Dog Rocks can be used for cats with great effect and in the same way. Dog Rocks are a 100% natural product with no side effects and no change to the pH balance of your pet’s urine. Our studies have shown and our sales have proven that Dog Rocks are safe for all breeds of dogs, cats, rabbits and any other pet you share your household with. We do not however market Dog Rocks for cats as it is impossible to ensure they only drink from the bowl with the Rocks in. Cats wander in ways a dog can’t and we have no way of knowing where else they drink from. Unfortunately there are no benefits to the cat urine smell – it makes no difference at all!
Yes, for best results you will need to ensure that your dog always drinks from water that has been filtered by the Rocks.
Yes you can change the water as usual, try to change it every couple of days and just top up at night after your dog’s last drink. Sticking to this practice means that the Dog Rocks have as long as possible sitting in the water.
Igneous Rocks are common worldwide. Igneous Rocks are not consistent & the cooling speed after eruption from the earth’s core will alter the internal Rock structure. Research & development is continual & samples from around the world are being tested to find other sources in order to reduce our carbon footprint & shipping. To date we have found no match.

Dog Rocks work like a sponge! The minerals in the natural occurring igneous stone cause a magnetic charge in water and in turn cause an ion exchange, The ion exchange absorbs any impurities in the water such as tin, nitrates and ammonia leaving it instead in a purified state for your pet. As they drink this, less nitrates enter their bodies meaning their urine causes no burn marks.
DOSAGE
You will need 1 x 200g pack in every 2 litres of water. If your bowl is smaller, a 100g pack of Dog Rocks per 1 litre will do.
