not sure what killed it, but definitely not the bleach. the s rate you added it to water is not going to have an effect on the grass. my guess is the syrup coated the leaves can caused an issue, or the supplement is suspect as well. what kind of sod?

Glad to see it worked for you. Thanks for trying even after the syrup didn't work. Sugar does not support the growth of mold. I would not expect that diluted bleach would hurt the soil or grass. So what's in the essential oils you feed the bees?

It's interesting how many people we explain the sugar "trick" to who refuse to try it. I guess it sounds too hippy-dippy for them.

How long after the peeing do you apply the sugar?

What if you feed the dog a lot of candy, will the pee come out sugary enough to help with the yellowing?

We bought the dog special treats that reduced the yellow spots. Kinda sorta worked a little.

reeljake - I've heard bad things about any supplements being added to the dog to reduce lawn damage. i would much rather tinker with the chemistry of my yard than to try and modify the chemistry inside my pet without knowing the unintended consequences. the burning is just from high levels of nitrogen and what dchall suggests will work.

psu4me...usually you don't know where to put the sugar until the grass stresses out. So any time after you detect the problem is fine. When I first tried it was in January. Everything was dormant, but when I put the sugar down, my grass jumped out of the ground like it was on rocket fuel. It got very dark green, dense, and grew up 8 inches in a week or so.

Thanks David, that was what i was thinking.......I didn't want to follow my dog around with sugar!!! But i also didn't want to wait and it be too late.

I need to find a place to buy bulk sugar

best price I've seen is Costco or when aldis has a sale. i'm buying sugar that's spilled from rail cars at .10 per ib.
