How to use Dog Rocks
Dog Rocks go in your dog's water bowl. Make that bowl the dog's main water source, because drinking from pools, toilets, ponds or jacuzzis works against the result. Top the water up each day rather than replacing it, and refill in the evening when your dog goes to bed so the rocks have about 8 hours to work before the water is drunk.
How much to use
Dog Rocks work weight to volume: the ratio is 100g of rock to 1 litre of water. A 200g pack lasts one dog 2 months. If you keep four 1 litre bowls around the house, the brand suggests 2 x 200g packs split across the four bowls.
When to replace and what to expect
Replace the rocks every 2 months; a diary sticker is included to remind you. The brand says it takes 8-10 hours to treat the water and that, with proper lawn maintenance, you will see improvements in 5 weeks. Dog Rocks will not mend grass that is already damaged, and they do not change the pH balance of your dog's urine.
What can hold the results back
The brand lists a few reasons Dog Rocks may not work as well: a diet of mainly raw red meat or lower quality dog food, more than one drinking source (pool, pond, fountain, toilet or the cat's bowl), or too little rock for the amount of water. If your dog keeps taking the rock out, keep the rocks in a container of water and fill the bowl from it after waiting 8 hours. It works, though not as well as rocks in the bowl itself.
