I have two Dalmatian bitches but generally don't find one wee would kill
the grass at all. It seems to be on areas where dogs consistently widdle
which has the dead patches.
Good job as I would hate to have to ban the dogs from the garden and
keep them off the grass!
Never smelled a strong ammonia smell so perhaps it might be the fox.

Dalmatians' urine is quite unlike other dogs. More similar to humans. I remembered this from university [forgot most other things] and just rechecked via Google~~

Only in the sense that they can form crystals from uric acid. They
essentially widdle the same as any other dog! Their urine is the same as
humans and not like other breeds.

Slightly OT, I know, but does this mean that Dalmations can get gout?

No because their urinary tract is where they convert uric acid to
allantonin, in humans I believe it is also in other areas.

Dalmatians just don't seem to be able to process right through.

You are right. It won't climb a 6 foot wall. It may jump it though or find a
spot lower somewhere and jump up there to walk along the raised pathway.


Yup- I recently saw a fox jump/run up an approximately 6 ft high wall and
over the top in a neighbour's garden.
