Description:

An all natural food supplement that helps neutralize the ph of your pet's urine so that it no longer 'burns' or 'discolors' lawns. GrassSaver works with all natural amino acids and vitamins.

How Grass Saver Works:

Grass Saver is a combination of dl-Methionine, vitamins biotin and yucca.
The dl-Methionine (an amino acid) is a urinary acidifier. A dog's normal pH is around 6.5. Most (95%) dogs whose urine burns the lawn is above 6.5 pH (too alkaline). By feeding this combination of dl-Methionine and vitamins, their urine pH will come down to the normal level of 6.5 (sometimes the owner can raise or lower the dosage by 10 to 20% to find the optimum non-burning level of 6.5 pH). This helps to eliminate the brown spots. If a dog's pH is below 6.5 pH, the urine will still burn the lawn. Approximately 5% of dogs pH is below 6.5 pH and GrassSaver will not work (it cannot raise pH levels). Unfortunately, it is not safe to try to bring the pH level up and we do not recommend products for this use.

Grass Saver ingredients include:

Montmorillinite (clay) is one of the most common tablet binder and fillers available.
Other binder/fillers include: Di-Calcium Phosphate and Yeast. We usually try to avoid yeast because it can cause allergies in some dogs. We also try to avoid using Di-Calcium Phosphate because it can offset a dog's proper calcium to phosphorous ratio. In addition, you may notice many manufacturer's who use montmorillinite and list it low on their ingredient list even though legally, ingredients should be listed in descending order based on the percentage in the product (it should be listed first).
Following AAFCO guidelines, State Agencies who inspect labels rarely red tag any products for this offense, so many manufacturer's will mislabel the product to make it appear that they have more of a particular active ingredient in their product.
dl-Methionine is a amino acid that is a urinary acidifier. Vitamin C is also a urinary acidifier. We have discussed the 'safe limits' of dl-Methionine with four Veterinarians at U.C. Davis. They said the generally recognized safe upper limits were 1 ½% by weight of a dogs daily food intake. GrassSaver contains 133 mg. per tablet of dl-Methionine. If an 80 Lb. dog takes 5 tablets daily and consumes 1 ½ Lbs. of food he is getting 665 mg. per day of dl-Methionine which in only .1%, fifteen times under the recommended safe level.
Thiamine (B1), pyridoxine and B12 are a combination of B Vitamins which helps the body assimilate food. They also synergistically work with dl-Methionine to help return the urine Ph to a normal level (6.5Ph).
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin which is produced in the intestines by bacteria as well as being obtained from food. Biotin is an essential nutrient that is required for cell growth and for the production of fatty acids. It is also essential for the proper utilization of the other B-complex vitamins.
Yucca (Odorase) helps to lower ammonia levels in urine and also helps to prevent stool odor.
Magnesium Stearate is utilized as a lubricant when forming tablets.
Stearic Acid is utilized as a tablet binder.
Silica Gel helps the powder flow evenly which allows for even tablet size when manufactured.
Beef Liver is a flavoring only.
Corn Gluten is utilized as a flavoring and binder.

We had new sod put in last November and were really disappointed when urine was killing it sooner than we could even hope to plant seed to restore it. In the early spring we found this product. It helped put an end to the continued destruction of the lawn, as long as we remember to give them the pills very faithfully.

I never write reviews, but this product is worth it. We have two Golden Retrievers and Grass Saver has saved our lawn. A friend of ours recommended it to us and it is the best. We no longer have yard burn spots. Get this if you worry about your lawn as much as we do. We have given this to our neighbors and friends. It truly is worth it.

I have 4 female dogs, two Great Danes, one Old English Sheepdog and a Basset Hound all of whom I love dearly. However, without this product I would have no lawn. I have been using this product for about 3 years and it works magic. I use it year round for my girls and when spring comes around I do not have any yellow dead grass spots anymore from their urine. Great Product!
