How to remove urine smell from dogs at home? What to do if there is dog smell at home?

Nowadays, more and more families have dogs. The owners may not notice it, but when outsiders visit, they may smell a strange smell. Especially when the dog has not developed the habit of defecating at a fixed place, if the owner does not find it or waits a long time to clean it, it will have a urine smell over time. So how can you remove the smell of a dog at home?

How to remove urine odor from your dog's home

1. Bleach

You only need a bottle of chlorine bleach to remove dog urine. We only need to mix bleach and clean water in a ratio of 1:100. Then use the diluted bleach to wipe the place where the dog urinated for 20 minutes, and finally wipe it with clean water to reduce the urine smell. If the urine smell is not removed, you can reduce the amount of clean water mixed with bleach. Remember to wipe it with clean water after wiping with bleach.

2. Baking soda

In fact, baking soda has the effect of absorbing odor. We only need to sprinkle baking soda on the place where the dog urinates, wait for 30 minutes for the baking soda to fully absorb the urine smell. Then use a vacuum cleaner to suck away the baking soda to reduce the urine smell.

3. Enzyme cleaner

When the dog urinates, do not spray water on the urine stain. Instead, first use a towel to absorb the dog's urine, then sprinkle enzyme cleaner on it to cover the dog's urine as much as possible. Finally, use a paper towel to absorb the dirty water.

4. Vinegar

Although we have used the above method to clean the dog urine, there will still be some odor. You should know that dog urine contains ammonia, so we can also use some vinegar to repeatedly wipe the place where the dog urinated, which can also reduce some of the odor.

Of course, you can also use lemon juice, topical alcohol, toilet water, etc. to spray those places that you don’t want the dog to urinate or touch. This can effectively prevent the dog from urinating there.

5. Activated carbon

Activated carbon is a great odor remover, and it can naturally remove dog urine odors. We put a few pieces of activated carbon where the dog urinates, and half-open the window to let in air. It takes about a week for the urine odor to be absorbed by the activated carbon, thus removing the dog urine odor.

6. Soapy water

If your dog urinates on the bed or sofa and you don't want to clean it all, you can first soak up the urine on the mattress or sofa, then wring the liquid in a towel soaked in soapy water or laundry detergent onto the urine-contaminated area, and then use the towel to soak up the liquid. Repeat this process many times until the urine odor is completely removed.

What to do if there is dog smell in the house?

1. Cleaning

Clean and mop the floor every two days. First, clean the hair on the floor, then mop the floor again to remove the dust and add an appropriate amount of 84 disinfectant to the mopping water. Of course, you can also buy some special deodorizing sprays.

2. Open windows more often for ventilation.

Opening the windows to ventilate can not only dissipate odors, but also make the air fresher and make you feel happier.

3. Improve your diet.

If the dog does not eat healthily, its excrement will have a strong smell, so choose light and natural dog food that is not easy to cause inflammation, and let the dog drink more water.

4. Train the baby to urinate and defecate at designated places.

The way to completely remove it is to let the dog develop the habit of urinating and defecating in a designated place. You can buy a pet toilet and urine pad for the dog online, and put the urine pad with dog urine stains in the toilet. The dog will smell the smell and urinate. If it urinates in the designated place, give it a snack as a reward. Repeat this several times, and with the guidance of snacks, I believe the dog will learn it quickly.

5. Walk your dog regularly

Regular dog walking can basically prevent the dog from defecating at home. Even if you occasionally have something to do and fail to walk the dog on time, it will endure and wait for you to come back. Remember to clean the relevant parts after walking the dog. However, we must walk the dog in a civilized manner, which is convenient for ourselves while not affecting the lives of others!

6. Take a bath on time

The dog has been waiting at home for a day, and every time it goes out for a walk, it is very excited, running on the lawn and playing with other dogs. This will cause it to be contaminated with other dogs' urine and other bacteria, so we have to bathe it on time to keep it clean overall!

How to train your dog to defecate at a fixed point

First, we need to know the dog's signs and behaviors before defecating. Generally, it will bark anxiously and sniff the ground, which means that the dog is looking for a place to defecate. This time is usually about 15 minutes after eating or about 15 minutes after getting up.

Second, prepare a proper environment for the dog, especially for very small dogs. We can spread newspapers in the dog's range of activities. Let the dog defecate on the newspapers, and then reduce the number of newspapers one by one according to the time, narrowing the range. This is a gradual process, so that the dog will not feel it is sudden. Then we start to observe whether the dog defecates on the newspapers. If so, it means that our guidance is correct, and finally we can take away the other newspapers and leave only one newspaper. In this process, we must clean up the poop on each newspaper we take away, otherwise the dog will smell the smell and continue to defecate there.
