How to Prevent Pet Accidents

Tips to make your pet odor removal last longer!

Customers often ask us what can be done to prevent pet issues. Here are some simple tips that can help prevent future accidents:

Walking your dog

Walking your dog (or at least letting them outside) frequently goes a long way towards preventing indoor accidents.

Pee Pads

Consider laying out pee pads. These pads, while unattractive, are great when you’re not at home. Leave these in trouble areas and you’ll often find your dog doing their business on the pad. Dispose of the pad, replace with new and your life just got a lot easier!

Positive Reinforcement

This is almost as important as walking your dog – in fact, they go hand-in-hand) or in this case, paw!). Let your dog know that he or she is doing the right thing when they do their business on a walk or when you’re letting them outside.

Don’t yell!

Yelling at your dog or cat is not a solution. In fact, your pet has no idea why you’re yelling at them and this will in no way help prevent future accidents from happening.

Treat Stains Immediately

Urine deposited on carpet does not stay there, it penetrates the fibers and contaminates both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material below the carpet. Often, without your knowing, pets will urinate continually in the same general location. Urine odors can permeate from the floor, be it cement or wood, from the tack strip, and even from the framework of the house behind the walls.

As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. These crystals draw in moisture and off gas an awful smell.  That’s why the smell may seem worse on humid or damp days.  Urine crystals have been known to off gas, with the smell gradually getting worse, for up to 12 years. Simple cleaning will not remove this odor.
