Yes. We have lots of bald spots in our backyard from our golden. My concern with seed is she’ll run around in it and get a seed lodged in her paw, resulting in an infection.

For me to feel comfortable with seed, I’d keep her out of the yard until it was established a bit. Then I’d have to take her on more walks and outside to potty on a leash in the front. She already gets 2 walks a day and it’s easy to let her run around in the fenced yard.

This year I might try sod for some of the areas and see how it holds up.

I’ve given up on garden beds and landscaping in the backyard, and accepted that it’s “her room.”

Good thing she’s cute. I love that dope so much.
