dog urine hurt roses?

| Just wondering if the brown leaves I just found on one of my new roses were caused by the dog urine I washed off of them yesterday. I have a large Lab and he likes to mark everything. Do I need to fence off the roses? |

| Dog urine can kill foliage. |

| Well it didn't completely kill the leaves, but sure made some awful brown spots on them. So does everyone who has dogs and roses keep them apart from each other? |

| I consider some losses to the roses/garden part of the beauty. If it isn't really "killing" the plant, I usually let go. That goes for almost anything, including my Big Black Dogs' bad habits. At leaset they are going outside! I have asked them, clearly, to go "Out!, No!" if I ever catch 'em and never encourage 'em and it never seems to be too bad. If it is killing...then the pet shop has a Keep Away product that can help with the "NO" leasons. It is good for cats too. Dogs are great! |

| Thanks, that's encouraging. I like the way you think. I know he doesn't do it everyday, but I'll do like you said and discourage it when I see it. What is the name of the stuff that keeps dogs and cats away? Can it be used around organically grown veggies? |
