How do you get dog urine smell out of carpets?

Most products can take care of both stain and odor in one squirt. However, repeated events of urine can impregnate the carpet and its pad to the extent that the odor cannot be removed. Consider linoleum or tile.

Our last dog got to be very elderly. He had an accident on the carpet on one of his last days. We picked up a spray product at the pet store. The spray was helping, but wasn't getting rid of it. We tried something that took a little more time and effort, but it was effective. Sprinkle the area with baking soda, and work it in with a broom. Leave it for a couple of hours, then vacuum the area thoroughly. Give it a day, then go over the area with a steam cleaner. Febreeze actually makes a pet odor removal spray that we hit the area with for a couple of days after steam cleaning it. I also felt better about doing it this way. Although the spray from the pet store said it broke down the urine, I was more confident that the area was clean after using the steam cleaner.

How do you cover up or mask the smell of dog poop from our neighbors yard?

You cannot. If you have a dog, make sure you are picking up your dog's feces every day. Then go over to your neighbor's house and very politely ask them to please pick up their dog's feces as it stinks. Even offer to help out when you go over there. Just be very nice when you ask them to do this, tell them that you do not want your own yard to smell badly for them and that is why you keep your dog's feces picked up. Also explain to them the dangers of letting feces lie around for their own health and their dog's. By picking up the feces on a daily basis they will cut down the risks of getting roundworm eggs, thereby infecting themselves and their dog. So it is safer for the owners and the dogs. Tell them to watch that show on TV called "Monsters Inside of Me". I bet they will pick up their dog's feces twice a day if they watched that.

Do pet food companies use euthanized animals like dogs and cats?

Sadly, yes. In many inexpensive dog and cat foods, euthanized animals ARE used in pet foods. The FDA identified several dog and cat foods as containing pentobarbital, which is used to euthanize animals and is very dangerous for your pet to consume. These include select lines by Ol' Roy, Heinz Kibbles and Bits, and Pro Plan.

This is not the entire list by any means. Watch for words like: Meat and Bone Meal (MBM), Beef and Bone Meal (BBM), Animal Fat (AF), and Animal Digest (AD). These are the ingredients, according to the FDA, are most likely to include pentobarbitol from euthanized animals.
