Peppermint oil masks the odor rather than removing it. You should use an enzyme based cleaner because this will break down what is actually causing the smell. Nature's Miracle is the brand that I prefer, but there are other brands that do the same thing. In a pinch, white vinegar will work too, although you need to use much more of it than the enzyme based cleaner and vinegar has its own smell.

Yes some dogs may be allergic to the fume of the peppermint oil but it depends so you should consult a doctor to find out if your dog is allergic to the fume of peppermint.

No I wouldn't do it. The dog is likely to lick it off and get sick.
