We can all admit that seeing a guilty-looking pup standing in a puddle of urine is not fun to deal with. But with these tips, you can learn how to deal with these annoying situations and be better equipped to prevent them in the future.
Don’t let the spot sit on the floor, instead take care of it immediately
If you’re busy, dealing with a pet urine accident can seem like a hassle. You may be tempted to leave the spot until you have more time to clean it, but don’t fall for this! When pet urine accidents happen, take care of it right away. Use a white paper towel to blot up as much of the wet urine as you can from the floor or carpet until the area is dry. If your pet has soiled washable items like a rug or cushion cover, put these items through a cold rinse cycle and then a normal wash cycle with detergent as soon as possible.
Determine the extent of the urine damage
Oftentimes, the pet urine smell stays in your home even after you have cleaned up the stain. This happens when urine has seeped down to your carpet’s padding, causing bacteria and contaminants to get trapped below the surface. Typical pet urine removal products or DIY cleaning will not solve this problem, so that’s when you need professional carpet cleaners in Fresno to deal with the damage.
At Central Valley Carpet Cleaning, we specialize in pet urine removal in Clovis, CA and Fresno, CA, and are equipped to remove the odor and stain. Some professional cleaners attempt to remove pet urine by masking the odor with strong-smelling chemicals while others hide the stain by pressing it below the surface of the carpet with high-pressure steam cleaners. On the other hand, we use a safe, but powerful cleaning solution paired with our robust equipment to remove pet urine stains and odors straight from your carpet, upholstery, and rugs — without hiding or masking anything.
Learn why your dog keeps having accidents and work to prevent them
To prevent accidents from happening again, you need to learn why your dog has them in the first place. Here are some common reasons as to why dogs have accidents:
Training and Age
If your dog is less than a year old, they are not typically fully housetrained and you can expect accidents to happen. When your dog is young, have patience and reward them for going to the bathroom outside.
Changes in Schedule and Lifestyle
If your schedule changes because of school or work, your dog’s schedule will also have to change and it may take them a while to get used to it. They may have accidents because they are used to getting let out a certain time that no longer works for your schedule. Similarly, changes in your lifestyle (like a new pet or a baby) can affect your dog and lead to stress. Stress can cause accidents, but just be patient and help your dog get adjusted to the new changes.
Health Problems or Medication Side Effects
Some symptoms of health issues include a loss of bladder control, so if you notice this on top of other health symptoms, check in with your vet. Also, consult with your vet if your dog has recently started taking a new medication and has had a loss of bladder control— this may be one of the side effects.
