It is vitally important to clean thoroughly all soiled areas with a professional odor neutralizer. Compounds such as Odor-Nil®, Odor-Ban®, Nil Odor®, Nature's Miracle®, and Anti Icky Poo® are just a few of the enzymatic and/or bacterial products that destroy odors at the source. Soak the area for a sufficient time to allow the enzymes to work. Covering the area with a washcloth soaked in the solution will help delay evaporation and prolong the compounds' actions. Smooth surfaces, like linoleum floors and wood floors, are easier to clean than carpets, since the floor under the carpet must be treated as well. If the slightest trace of odor remains, your dog is likely to be attracted back to that same area to eliminate again.MedicationIf your dog does not respond to retraining, your veterinarian may chose to recommend medication, usually of the antidepressant variety, especially tricyclic antidepressants.
