Neutralize Dog Urine
There are several types of chemicals used to effectively neutralize dog urine. I will give a brief description of four of them. I go into more depth about them here. First with dog urine you are dealing with a stain issue and a smell or odor issue and a contamination issue. Some of the chemicals deal with all three problems and others deal with only one or two of them. Enzyme products are popular and effective at neutralizing dog urine if you get a good one and use it correctly. Enzyme products digest the urine molecules or residue. Neutralization products neutralize dog urine as a result of unique molecular structure it absorbs, binds to and counteracts odors. These work immediately on contact. Encapsulation products surround and seal off the offensive odor molecules eliminating the odor problem. Finally oxidation products neutralize dog urine through the cleaning and deodorizing power of natural oxygen. With each of these it is important to get a good quality product and use it as directed. Many times people are hoping to be able to just spray a little on the surface of the contaminated area and have it neutralize the dog urine.With each of these type products they have to come n contact the urine molecules in sufficient quantity to work. Any part of the urine they do not contact will not be eliminated. Enzyme products have to be in contact and kept moist for long enough for it to digestthe offensive urine residue. Get a good one use it properly and you will neutralize the dog urine.

- Is There A Rug-cleaning System That Will Remove *Dog Urine* Stains *...*
October 29, 2009
- The answer is yes. There are several. One basic concept in accomplishing this is first clean out all urine residue (fresh or old) that you can. Second treat the remaining urine with one of the chemicals that will change the urine residue on a molecular level rendering it harmless and odorless. You need to assess how extensive your own damage is to make a good decision on whether cleaning or replacing is better for you. http://www.dogurinesolutions.com goes into detail.
Outdoor Dog Urine
I have come across two main complaints regarding outdoor dog urine. By far the most common is the damage caused to grass from the dog urine. The other is the smell from the urine. Usually the smell dissipates and is not a problem in the outdoors. There are exceptions to this. For example I heard of a case where two large dogs were kept in a run almost continually and the urine in the run was never cleaned up. This build up began to smell and when the wind was blowing towards the neighbors it carried the urine smell into there yard and was a considerable nuisance. The damage to grass is the more common outdoor dog urine problem. The best solution is an all natural lawn repair product that is safe for you, your pet and the environment.

- I have 3 initial thoughts. The first is this seems to me to be a huge overreaction by all parties involved. Second: Don't let your dog pee on other peoples property. Third: Many city's have ordinances making it illegal for your dog to urinate in a neighbors yard.
Neutralize Dog Urine Grass
Posted by Dog Urine in Grass Dog Urine on October 22nd, 2009
Neutralize dog urine in or on grass. There are three items experts say you need to deal with when neutralizing dog urine damage on grass. Some say it is the acid in the urine that harms the grass. Some say it is the excess nitrogen in the urine. And I recently read an article explaining it is the salts in the urine. Some of the solutions to correct the problem are to water the exact area soon after the dog urinates. This will dilute the urine and which ever ingredient in the urine that is causing the grass to die will not be concentrated enough to do any damage. This sounds like a good solution but my problem with it is I am not going to follow my dog around waiting for her to do her business so I can then dilute it with enough water to fix the problem. I refuse to do that. Sorry! Another solution is to feed your dog supplements (pills, wafers, treats,) that change the makeup of the urine in your dog so it no longer damages the grass. The supplements come in many forms and some come with a product (paint type product) that you spray on the grass to turn it green. The grass now looks good while the supplements have time to take effect and give the grass the chance to grow back. It is a cover up until the grass grows back. This might also be a good solution but my disagreement with it, is the possible negative health issues to my dog. There is also the solution of re-planting new grass. Sometimes this will be necessary. What I have been looking for and have now found a natural product that you put on the grass that treats the soil and counteracts all three effects of the dog urine on it. I am now working on making it available to you.
Dog Urine Yellow
I am finding that some people search for the term dog urine yellow. I am not sure what they (you) are looking for but I decided to throw out one possible answer to that search. If you are wondering what makes dog urine yellow it is at least in part the Urochrome. Urochrome is yellow pigment in the urine. The color of the dogs urine will change depending on diet and whether the dog is sick or not. Other factors can also affect it. You can see my post that talks more about the make up of dog urine including why it is yellow.
Dog Smells 2
This is my second post on dog smells. It is about ears. Our dog Betty has infections in her ears most of the time. These infections are one source of the many offensive dog smells that she creates. I know people that ask how do you get rid of dog smell. For me it is one smell at a time. Betty has a list of them going on. Some ask is there a shampoo that will get rid of the dog smell. We have found a few good shampoo's for this but to shampoo the dog does nothing for the infections in her ears except perhaps irritate it and make it worse. So our Vet has given us a solution that is used to irrigate the ear canal. This solution you squeeze a little stream (plenty the Vet told us) of it into the ear and rub the ear and then take a cotton ball and wipe the ear out again. Then secondly there is a separate medicated ear drop that we put in. A few drops in the ear last thing and leave it. She hates this process but is happy when it is over. We were recently told by a dog expert that you can do the same thing with rubbing alcohol. She said it is virtually impossible to get the alcohol deep enough into the dogs ear to become a problem. She used to take care of many dogs in a dog show and rubbing alcohol is what they used. Especially with Basset Hounds. This process eliminates this particular dog smell for most of the day. It is a daily task that needs to be done. I know the infections are suppose to clear up but with Betty it just seems to keep it from getting worse.

Dog Smells
This post is about dog smells. This blog deals with dog urine smell in many posts so I am not going to discuss that topic in this post. My wife and I have Pugs, Betty and Rumble. Specifically our female pug named Betty. Some of the dog smells (and they are not pleasant smells) that come from her are her breath, smells from the folds or wrinkles in her skin, smells from her ears, and smells from the opposite end or the back end of her body. Finally the general overall wet dog smell that most of us are familiar with. Some of these smells come from bacteria. Some are from infections. Some dog smells just come from the dogs playing in the yard. And rolling around in the grass and the dirt in the same area's they go to the bathroom. They play with each other constantly and cover each other with saliva and dirty paws.
In this post I am going to talk about the dog smell that comes from the folds in her excess skin on her mask (face). Many dog breeds have this excess skin condition. Moisture gets into these folds and no air can get to it so it just stays damp most of the time. Bacteria begins to grow in this moist damp environment. The bacteria gives off gasses that create one of these offensive dog smells. Her mask needs to be cleaned every day and still it the smells return soon after the cleaning. As soon as she gets a drink or plays with another dog or goes outside. We wipe these folds with a Que tip and a pre-moistened hygienic cleansing pad. Then she has a pleasant smell for a few hours. My thought is if these pads are pre-moistened they will still leave the folds in the dogs face damp. Not only does she have the bacteria growing but it is not long until she has a skin infection in there also. This itches and torments her.
The solution: Keep Cleaning her face daily, especially in the folds with the cleansing pads. Also once a month clean her mask with a Que tip and alcohol. And the trick is to put a little Goldbond powder in the folds after each cleaning. This will absorb the moisture and keeping her dryer and soothing her skin. This then stops the bacteria and possible skin irritations which will virtually eliminate this particular dog smell. I will address some of these other dog smells in future posts.
