Can a lot of pet urine in the house be toxic. I have an old dog with a bladder condition and a small dog not housebroken yet. The smell is strong just about everywhere.I also have 2 small children?

Answer 1

It is not healthy to smell urine or for it to be in your house with or without children. Clean it all up good with a carpet cleaner that has enzymes in it.

Your senior dog needs to be taken to your Veterinarian about the bladder condition and if incontinent, can be given pills to help with this or it may be a bladder infection which needs to be treated. Either way, your older dog needs to be seen by a Veterinarian.

For the small dog, get a crate that is large enough for it to stand up in and be able to turn around in. Put a nice blanket down in it along with some toys such as nyla bones or socks tied together & a water dish attached to the wires of the crate. Let the small dog out often outdoors to be able to potty and praise him well when he does potty outdoors. If you cannot monitor the dog inside the house, then keep him in the crate but do let him out often enough to go potty outside. He will get the gist of becoming housebroken.

Keep the crate in areas such as next to your bed and have him sleep in there all night. Dogs love their crates & it will become his little private cave and after he is housebroken, you can just leave the door open all the time for him to go in and out of. Dogs normally will not mess inside their crates so this is great for housebreaking him.
