Dog Peeing In House
Our 8 year old neutred male English Springer Spaniel has suddenly started
peeing in the house, once or twice a day. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be? Thanks in advance! |

1. Have your dog checked for a bladder infection. Promptly.
2. Don't leave the dog loose with full run of the house when not superivised. Keep him with a family member when indoors, and crated or confined to a small area that's easy to clean up when he's alone. 3. You may not be using Effective cleaning materials, so he's drawn back to pee again. Get a good enzyme based pet odor killer, an dfollow the directions, regarding clean up and treatment. I prefer Nauture's Miracle (which is changing name to Petastic), but there are others on the market. I am not impressed with Febreeze for this use. Jo Wolf Martinez, Georgia |

I am not impressed with Febreeze for this use. yeah, Febreeze doesn't seem to work to well for me either. White vinegar is another option. Seems to work okay, and cheap. Neither vinegar or Febreeze can thoroughly eliminate the odors being discussed here for the dog. You may not smell them, but the dog still can. That's why using an enzyme cleaner is important. The enzyme cleaners, when used according to directions, completely change what once was the odor. If you want to mark over where a dog messed or marked with vinegar or Febreeze, that's fine, but that's all you are really doing. I didn't know that Nature's Miracle was changing it's name! Thanks for the heads up. |

"Q" wrote: How do you know vinegar doesn't work? Vinegar doesn't contain the enzymes necesary to thoroughly break down the odor. Secondly, experience tells me there's a world of difference. I like cleaning with vinegar & use it for all sorts of things, but when it comes to pet messes, I stick to enzymatic cleaners. |
