Why Cleaning Up Pee with a Lawn Sprayer Stopped Making Sense — and What We Built Instead
How one Labrador, a lot of pee, and a stubborn founder led to a turf-cleaning breakthrough.
From Stinky Turf to Foamy Freedom: The Dozzle Origin Story
We didn’t set out to reinvent turf cleaning. We just wanted to play in our backyard without rolling in pee.
Mozzarella, our English Lab (Mozzie, if you’re friends), was the catalyst. We installed artificial turf to create a low-maintenance, all-seasons play space for our kid, our dog, and honestly—our sanity. But pee happens. And pee on turf lingers.
We tried everything. Hose sprayers. Spray bottles. DIY witchcraft mixtures. And every time, it was SO MUCH WORK. Spray, wait, rinse, repeat—but the smell never fully went away. We were using real water on fake grass, wasting time and gallons just to get mediocre results.

That’s when it hit us:
These OG lawn sprayers were built for monthly lawn care, not daily dog life.
So we built the Dozzle System.
What Is the Dozzle System?
The Dozzle System is our simple, hose-free turf cleaning routine for dog owners. It includes:
Poozooka: a rechargeable foam sprayer that’s light, fun, and ready when you are
FoamZyme: an enzyme-powered turf cleaner that foams up and clings to the stink
Together, they form the only portable odor control system specifically designed for life with dogs on artificial turf.
The History of Hose Sprayers: Stuck in the 1950s
For reference—yes, this is real—garden sprayers like the Hayes Spray Gun date back to the 1930s and peaked in the 1950s. The pitch back then? "Push-button garden protection." Spray gun in one hand, gloves in the other, and gallons of pesticides dousing your roses.
These products were made for shrubs. For monthly maintenance. For people wearing sunhats (which are so coming back) and aprons—not for daily turf spots soaked in dog pee.
We’re not here to bash Grandma’s hardware aisle. But honestly, if the best the turf-cleaning industry could do was give us something that hasn’t changed in 70 years, we knew we had to do it ourselves.
Foam Grips. Water Drips.
You know what doesn’t work? Spraying liquid cleaner on a flat surface and hoping it sticks around. Hose-end sprayers last maybe 10 seconds before dripping through the turf. They waste water, overspray like crazy, and make you second guess whether you even sprayed the right spot.
Foam changes that. With the Poozooka + FoamZyme, you get:
✅ Visual Coverage – See where you sprayed. No more guessing
✅ Longer Contact Time – Foam sticks around up to 15 minutes (not 10 seconds)
✅ Hands-Free Finish – Foam dissolves on its own. No rinsing needed
“I used to hose down the yard days before guests came over. Had to assemble the hose, douse the whole yard, and had to wait until like sunset. It was so annoying. Now I just Dozzle it in like 30 seconds and go right back to entertaining & enjoy our yard with everyone".”
Mozzarella-Approved. And She’s Our Chief Odor Officer.
Mozzarella is our in-house product tester and the reason Dozzle exists. She peed on turf. A lot. And we got tired of dodging landmines every time we played outside. Now, she frolics through the foam like it’s snow. It’s cute. And useful.
Dozzle is safe for dogs, kids, plants, and bare feet. It’s made with just three ingredients:
💧 Water
🥥 Coco Betaine (a mild foaming agent from coconut)
🧬 Evogen MEC-B (a biotech enzyme blend from Genesis Biosciences)
No fake fragrances. No harsh chemicals. Just clean turf, naturally.
Seriously - no fragrance at all. We got into this game to ELIMINATE SMELLS. Not to swap one for another.
Built for Real Life (and Real Odors)
This isn’t some clinical solution made by people who’ve never touched turf. We built Dozzle after months of spraying, sniffing, tinkering, and talking to dozens of other dog owners. Everyone said the same thing:
“Hose sprayers are a pain. And they don’t really work.”
So we designed something better. Portable. Effective. Satisfying. A system that doesn’t fight your routine—it fits into it.
Real benefits, real fast:
🚱 No hose, no hassle
🔋 Rechargeable, portable sprayer
👀 Visible foam means no missed spots
💥 Enzymes break down odor at the source
🧒 Kids love using it (really)
💧 Saves water vs traditional cleaning
The Science (Briefly, Because You Deserve to Know)
FoamZyme binds natural enzymes to a stable foam that sits on turf longer than any liquid cleaner.
According to Jeff who is our lead science guru at Genesis:
“Foam helps keep enzymes moist, which is crucial for them to remain active. It creates a microenvironment that lets the Bacillus bacteria thrive and break down odor-causing compounds.”
Even if your turf feels dry, the foam and ambient humidity are enough for the enzymes to do their job. And the bacteria we use? Some were discovered in desert soil. So they’re tougher than your average turf pee.
How It Fits Into Real Dog Ownership
Turf isn’t a lawn. Dogs don’t pee on a schedule. And no one wants to unroll a hose just to blast last night’s pee puddle off the patio. That’s why Dozzle isn’t some once-a-month ritual. It’s a daily tool.
Quick spritz before coffee? Easy.
Hit the favorite pee spots after the dog goes out? Done.
Heading out for a walk? Foam it first, let it sit, and come back to a clean yard.
This isn’t a project. It’s a habit that takes 30 seconds and pays off every day.
Review Highlights (And Why We're Still Smiling)
We expected some positive feedback. We didn’t expect the flood of “Where has this been all my life?” messages.
Here are a few favorites:
"The foam is actually fun to use. Like I look forward to spraying it. Didn’t expect that."
"No more soaking the entire yard. This actually fits my life."
"I was skeptical. Now I’m just relieved. And so is my dog."
Why This Matters
Because your yard should smell like grass and sunscreen and grilled burgers—not dog pee.
Because you deserve a cleaning solution that fits into your actual life.
Because your dog is awesome. And so are your guests. And your kids. And your neighbors.
You don’t need more work. You need better tools.
The 1950s called. And they can have their hose sprayers back.

We’re proud of what we built. It is still quite surreal that a stubborn husband and his cheese-named dog basically invented the Dyson of dog pee.
The reviews say it all. The turf says it all. The lack of stink says it all.

So try it.
We built it for real dog owners. Like us. And like you.
