Today, Iâd like to discuss struvite stones and crystals. Struvite stones are a type of bladder stone that occurs in both dogs and cats. Theyâre also called triple phosphate and magnesium ammonium phosphate stones. Magnesium, ammonia, and phosphate are common elements in urine.
The concentration of urea in dog urine is basically too much of a good thing for grass and other plants. Other salt and compounds such as potassium may also contribute, but nitrates are known to be the No. 1 killer. The main thing that makes urine more damaging is volume. Large dogs deposit more urine. Females tend to deposit it all in one location. Male dogs are easier on the grass but hard on trees, where urine sprayed on the trunk can filter down to the roots and in large enough volumes can kill the entire plant. Just how much dogs contribute to the poor health of some city trees is under debate.
