[Dailydrool] Pet odors

[Pam McQuade]

<<It was recommended to me to use Nature's Miracle pet odor eliminator. 
Actually my mother has used it where her last dog who was sick with cancer 
peed and swears by it. She buys it at PetSmart and has used it on her area 
rugs. It's worth a try. I have a friend who is a professional pet sitter and 
she told me that all her clients use that as well and all say it works. In 
fact, I will be trying some soon myself.>>

I know this is the easiest one to get, but this is the one brand I avoid at 
all costs. Until it dries, it makes the house smell even more like pee, in 
my opinion. (Once it dries, it's fine, but I just can't take the extra smell 
for that long.) The one I like best, Get Serious, is unfortunately the most 
expensive I've found and rather hard to find. But there are other brands 
that work well and do not make the house so stinky. I am currently using the 
Petco brand, which works just fine.

Belvedere has much improved with his peeing problems, so I no longer have to 
deal with two dogs who wet down the floors. But Abner lost much of his 
control after his back surgery and often makes huge puddles.  I can't use a 
bellyband on him because it would hit him at just the point where his back 
is bad. Maybe we have worse peeing problems than most folks, but to my mind, 
the Nature's Miracle is no miracle at all.
