What on earth are Dog Rocks?
Dog Rocks offer a natural and chemical-free solution to help prevent urine burn patches on lawns. They are a naturally occurring rock that act like a sponge, absorbing the nitrates that cause scorch marks.
They are incredibly simple to use. Just keep them in your dog's water bowl and keep the water topped up.
How do you use Dog Rocks?
They are mined from the earth so they will need a rinse before you first use them. Then just pop them in your dog’s water bowl and keep the bowl topped up. Alternatively, keep them in a jug of water and use this to pour into your dog’s bowl. For maximum effectiveness, try to make sure your dog only drinks this water. When you’re out and about, take a doggy water bottle with you so they can drink from that rather than puddles and streams.
Replace the Dog Rocks every two months.
Dog Rocks sound a bit peculiar – are they safe?
Dog Rocks are completely safe for dogs. They don't alter the pH balance of the water or affect its taste, ensuring that your pet will continue to drink normally without any adverse effects.
How often do you need to replace the Dog Rocks in the drinking bowl?
Each pack of Dog Rocks typically lasts for a couple of months, depending on the size of your dog and the amount of water they consume. This makes them a cost-effective solution for maintaining a beautiful lawn year-round.
Are Dog Rocks safe if other pets drink from the dog bowl?
They don’t release any chemicals, they just absorb nitrates out of the water, so they are not going to do any harm to any other household pets.
Do Dog Rocks really work?
There are lots and lots of positive reviews about Dog Rocks. You have to make sure your dog just drinks the Dog Rock filtered water though – if they’re drinking from a range of different sources, the Dog Rocks won’t be effective. As usual with any successful product, there are some copies on the market now. These are not as effective and make people doubt our own product. Ours are tried and tested and have been used successfully for over 15 years.
How do Dog Rocks work?
Primarily, by minimizing the nitrogen content in your dog's urine.
Dog Rocks work like a sponge, reaching a saturation point. The minerals in the igneous stone cause a magnetic charge in water and in turn cause an ion exchange. Impurities in the water such as tin, nitrates and ammonia are absorbed leaving it in a purified state for your pet.
As they drink Dog Rock water, less nitrates enter their bodies meaning their urine causes no burn marks. It’s a natural way of maintaining healthy lawn care.
Do you have to leave the rock in the water bowl? My dog thinks it’s a toy and keeps taking it out.
You can leave the Dog Rocks in a jug of water for 8 hours, and this will do the same job. Then just pour the water into your dog’s drinking bowl.
How do you dispose of Dog Rocks once they’re all used up?
They’re completely harmless so you can just put them in the garden, use them for drainage in pots or something like that. The mineral content has been shown to be beneficial to plants, in fact, in its ground up form the rocks are sold as soil enhancer.
How do you know when to replace the Dog Rocks?
They last about two months, so it’s best to make a note of when they’ve been put in your dog bowl, set an alert on your phone or something, and replace them after that. There’s not an indicator or anything like that, but they basically become saturated, so they stop working effectively.
