*I am updating my original review due to poor customer service and lack of product replacement.
After using K9 Yard Patch on a couple of occasions, with success, I ordered another bag. Upon opening the new bag, I noticed a much different odor than was present in prior bags. My husband and I looked over the seed and decided to go ahead with the patching of our lawn. Nearly exact weather conditions existed upon planting this time as did the prior plantings. I watered the same as well. Not one, and I mean one, blade came up from the new bag/planting. I contacted customer services to let them know what had happened and asked for either a replacement or a refund. I figured perhaps there had been a bad batch of seed and thought it was worth my while to give K9 Yard Patch another try. *The company has refused to respond to any of my inquiries.
Perhaps the company did not agree that I should receive a replacement or a refund, fine. But, to ignore a customer and his or her questions and concerns is completely unacceptable.
I went into Lowes with the K9 Yard Patch bag and asked if they had something like the K9 product. Lowes was incredibly helpful, customer service was exceptional, and the Scotts brand carries a line of products that do a wonderful job patching your lawn after the dogs do their business.


We are a family with three dogs; two Pugs, both male, and one English Mastiff, a female. We have used lime, particular fertilizers claiming to fix the urine problem, reseeded time and time again, as well as trying other unorthodox methods, all in a failed attempt at fixing our lawn. K9 Yard Patch did exactly what it claims it will do. We lightly raked half of the areas burned and planted the seed. After watering daily for a week, grass was growing rapidly. Within two weeks of planting, K9 Yard Patch had filled in the destroyed areas completely. The blades are thinner than a garden variety Kentucky Blue Grass, and the color is a rather unique green that doesn't match our lawn, but, neither did the yellow, burnt blades, resembling closer to a stick than a healthy blade of grass. K9 Yard Patch is on the expensive side and the claim of "250SF" of coverage per bag is a bit exaggerated. However, this product absolutely does work.
One point I would be remiss in overlooking for this review is that K9, once planted and mature, is not invincible and will burn exactly like any other grass. In other words, if your dog urinates on the healthy K9 Yard Patch lawn, sooner, rather than later, the grass will burn. The application of K9 is not a permanent fix. After writing this review I am ordering another bag to once again go over burned spots. The things we do for the love of dogs.

This stuff started growing quite quickly after we laid it. It's filled in places where grass was dead or would not grow. The only downside -- if there is one -- is that this grass does not match the grass that was already growing. We didn't put in the effort to research what type of grass we already had, so we've got a bit of a mismatch going on in our yard. It doesn't bother us, though, because having mismatched grass is still better than having empty spots.

I read reviews on this grass seed and decided to try it...Boy was I glad, my dog had ruined my grass this year with his strong urine -- This grass seed was easy to use, and grew very fast -- my neighbor was so surprised at how fast it grew.

I was suspicious of this miracle product, but figured it was worth a try. I have one client with three dogs using one patch of lawn for the bathroom. What a mess that lawn is.

I applied the lawn patch in the bare spots, made sure the automatic watering system was on, and came back three weeks later to a green lawn in those areas. Couldn't believe how fast and well it worked. Of course, there were new bare spots from the areas the dogs had used in the meantime, but it's great to know that I can fix bare patches with such an easy sprinkle.

I'll be recommending to my other clients with dogs.

This K9 Yard Patch works Better than Scotts EZ Seed!
With frequent Watering, this K9 product comes up Thicker and healthier than any other that I have bought!

I wish it came in 20 pound bags.

I have used 2 different versions of Scotts Patch in a certain spot, and they grew and then seemed to dry up or rot. This stuff is still holding its ground!

Keep all grass watered, and this will out-live many others!

So for I can't say I'm very impressed with how fast this grass really grows,based in my expectations elicited from other folks review this product. So for I have planted this grass in approximately 6 little patches on my lawn,approximately 2 weeks now. And to date I have seen any rapid grass growth in those areas like everyone else.I have seen little spurts of growth here and there, but no rapid significant growth. Maybe it's a long-term thing-in
my particular instance, so I'll wait and see.

Contains much more fertilizer than the seeds in the bag. After apply for two+ weeks. I don't see much new grass growing. It is a waste of money.

I thought I would take a chance with this product,the area the dog uses is fairly small and was about 50-60%dead. I've tried other products in the past with fair to poor results. The yard patch came up quickly and covered very well, the only problem is this grass grows about twice as fast as the old

I purchased this because of the lawn burn that my dogs' urine leaves. I followed the directions and literally within 3 days I had grass growing. It's an amazing product and I will be buying more.

I planted my seed before leaving town for 2 weeks. I was so excited to see all my seeded areas had come in full and thick by the time I came home!! Like a previous reviewer said, the grass did come in a shade or 2 lighter than my existing grass, it does not stand out bad at all. No more yellow spots!!
