All you need to know about using your Dog Rocks
Dog Rocks will help stop pet urine burn patches ruining your lawn, grass & hedges. One pack of Dog Rocks in your dog’s water bowl will keep your lawn in tip-top condition for up to 2 months. Dog Rocks are the only 100% natural & convenient solution proven to have no change to the pH balance of your pet’s urine, it’s as simple as that.
Many pet owners will experience dog urine killing their grass at some point, and those unsightly yellow burn marks on your lawn can become a real problem if you don’t deal with them at the source… your dog! Many products claiming to cure your lawn of burn marks will lower the pH of your dog’s urine, which can cause urinary tract infections when used long term. Dog Rocks work by removing the nitrates from the water, and do not change the pH of your dog’s pee. They are completely natural with no known side effects.

HOW TO USE
Dog Rocks® are all natural and straight from the earth, and it is necessary to wash them prior to use. One package is the correct amount for one dog bowl holding up to 2 litres of water (3.5 pints).
Keep the bowl filled with water at all times. Just like your dog, the rocks need water to remain effective. Please keep your dog bowl filled with the appropriate amount of water.
It is important to let the rocks submerge in the water bowl 10 hours before they will be effective. Leave the rocks in the bowl and replace the rocks every 2 months.
- 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.

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.

Dog Rocks come from Australia. Tests are carried out to ensure that the supply is consistent year on year.
