How To Remove Dog Urine
Dog urine, cat urine, human urine, or any urine is natural and abundant. If it is placed in appropriate receptacles, no problem, but you’re here because your pet is placing urine in undesired places. Why is that?
- Young puppies do not have maturity or muscle control yet, so it is natural that they will have to go very frequently. Puppy Tips:
- Plan on taking him out every 1-2 hours max. Get him used to the idea of going outside instead of inside. If you see him searching or circling for a spot, IMMEDIATELY take him outside. Use a positive phrase to go with this activity. Little by little he will get the connection of having to go and going outside; because you helped him see that connection and you made it a positive experience. Just be consistent and after a few weeks he will understand what to do.
- Make sure to clean any accidents right away as you don’t want him to make a new habit. Once a habit emerges it is really hard to break it. So, you will need to use an effective pet urine odor remover] that actually will remove urine odor] and not just mask it. Remember even small or young dogs have a bionic nose and you can’t fool them with simple cover-ups.
- Older dogs that are scent marking. This is a big problem and you have to really work on fixing the root problem as well as the resulting smells. Scent Marking Tips:
- Watch your dog very carefully. Look for the signs of when he is going to mark, and step in. As soon as you see the signs, BEFORE he has a chance to urinate, make a loud disapproving sound. Take some pennies (or uncooked beans) and put them in a plastic container with a screw-top lid, don’t fill it to the brim. So, you see him raise his leg with the intention of marking, you say NO, BAD JOB very loudly and at the same time shake the jar. This will scare him. Then escort him outside, let him stay out for 10-20 minutes. This only works if you catch him just before the release of the urine and you do this consistently. If these two things are not in place this method with not be very effective.
- It is absolutely essential that you use bio-enzymatic pet urine removers]. You must only use pet urine cleaners] that will get the job done, because odor masking is just not going to cut it. Dogs - especially male dogs - are territorial and they have excellent smellers. Don’t waste time trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Once they get the idea in their heads and and left unchecked, they will mark very often. So, you must deal with this on both fronts: behavior as well as the dog urine removal] aspects if you are to have a healthy happy environment.
- If you cannot be around your dog many hours of the day, then you should consider having him walked with a dog walker, or having him stay with someone during the day, or possibly doggie day care (although with the current Parvo outbreaks, these options may be hard to work), or you may have to leave him outside or perhaps you just won’t be able to give him full access to the house - just let him go into a room where he cannot get to other areas.
- Older pets that may have bladder problems such as infections, bladder stones and/or other obstructions, or other stronger issues such as bladder cancer. You will have to take your dog to the vet to get some x-rays; that way you will be able to see what is going on in there. Now, if it turns out that your dog does indeed have bladder stones, then we have some strategies that you could try, but you’ll have to see our site on this issue as this is beyond the scope of this site. What you can do short-term is to find out about many health related problems in a fascinating book where Martin Goldstein DVM, author of the highly-acclaimed "The Nature Of Healing: The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide To Caring For Your Dog And Cat" talks about how pet food can be deadly. So, be prepared for some startling revelations of what is inside your pet’s food and how this is the main cause of all sorts of health problems such as bladder issues.
Here’s one more valuable tip: NEVER EVER EVER use ammonia-based cleaners to get rid of urine. You are asking for a lot of trouble. Remember, urine has ammonia in it and if you put some ammonia on the floor, in your pet’s mind, "oh hel* yeah, it’s a party and I came packin’". So, if you don’t want him to join in, then don’t give him a reason. Also, most ammonia-based cleaners are chemical-based and therefore toxic to your pet.
We have seven dogs and TG they don’t mark or spray in the house, but they do vomit occasionally and that too will leave a vomit odor] and that’s why we had to find an effective way to [eliminate vomit odor].
Well, we use a product called, Urine Off formula for dogs. It is highly effective in urine odor elimination and it easily gets rid of vomit odor too. Very simple to use, just get rid of all of the odor-producing materials, then spray a thin layer, wait 10-15 minutes, take a damp cloth and wipe off. That’s it!
Suppose you don’t know exactly where the urine stains are? No problem, it comes with your very own CSI-style black light urine detector. Turn the lights low and it will show you all the places, which could be quite a few. Then you just do the same, spray it on, wait a few minutes, and wipe it off.
It comes in the gallon size for lots of dogs and lots of stains. It also comes in the 500ml (16.9 oz) squeeze bottle for one or two small-medium sized dogs.

There’s also a version for cat/kittens and it works quite well for those types of stains too. The small size, 500 ml (16.9 oz) is good for one or two cats and the cost-effective gallon size is great for large cat households. |
