Are cleaning products harmful to dogs?

Yes! Many common cleaning products around the house can damage your doggo’s health. Keep all cleaning products in a location where your furry friend cannot get to them, so there is no chance of accidental poisoning. You need to avoid cleaners that contain ammonia or bleach, along with carpet cleaners that are not labelled as safe for your dog. Look for chemicals like 1,4-dioxane, butoxy ethanol, formaldehyde, glycol ethers, naphthalene, perchloroethylene, and phthalates–they all can be harmful to your dog.

Why should people clean up after their dogs?

Aside from it being the right thing to do, there are a number of other reasons to clean up what your dog leaves behind. Dog waste can spread diseases, such as E. coli, coliform bacteria, giardia, leptospira, parvovirus, roundworms, and salmonella, to other dogs, wildlife, and people. It is ugly and smelly, it can contaminate nearby water, and it can spread a variety of parasites. Don’t forget that in some municipalities, you are legally obligated to pick up after your dog.

Do we need to clean up after our dog poops?

Yes, we do. Few things are worse than playing in a public area and stepping on a pile of dog feces. When dog waste is left, it can spread diseases, pollute local waterways, give off foul odours, and spread a variety of parasites. In many places, you are required by law to pick up after your doggo

Do dog pee pads work?

Yes, they can be very effective for both puppies as you train them to wait to go outdoors before pooing and peeing and for older dogs that have lost the ability to hold things in from their younger years. For puppies, after they eat or drink, take them to the pad and see if they have to go. If they do, praise them. Soon they will associate peeing and pooing with the pad and start to use it on their own. You can do the same with older dogs as well. Training dogs and puppies to use them isn’t easy, and some dogs decide that they would rather go inside than out. In rare cases, dogs decide that it is OK to go inside, and suddenly your whole home is a bathroom.

How often should you change pee pads?

By the time they are 6 or 7 months old, pups should be able to hold it until you can take them outside. When they do have accidents, don’t scold them–they will eventually get it right. If the pad is frequently dry when you get home, you know your pup has developed good bladder control. Be sure to praise them when they do go outside instead of using the pee pad.

Should I put a pee pad on the bottom of my dog’s crate?

In general, it isn’t recommended. Your dog might end up laying in their urine or feces, which will be quite a mess. It may also teach your dog that it is OK to go to the bathroom in their crate, which isn’t a good idea either. Instead, leave the pad where you normally have it and leave the crate door open so your dog can go use the pad when needed.

How do you neutralise the smell of dog urine?

Dogs have a wonderful sense of smell, so it is important to remove the urine smell completely or your dog is likely to go again. As soon as you can, pour a solution of white vinegar and water on the spot where your dog has urinated, then use a wet vac to suck up the water or blot it as best you can with towels. Let it dry completely. If an odour remains, you can use other products to neutralise the odour completely. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can work, but a product that uses enzymes to completely break down the remaining urine will work best.

How do you use pet stain and odour remover?

Blot up as much of the liquid waste and remove all the solid waste that you can. Then test a small area of carpet to make sure that the cleaning product won’t damage or stain the carpet or rug. Spray the cleaner onto the stained area liberally, then let it soak in for 10-15 minutes. Use a stiff brush to work the cleaner into the carpet, then blot the area dry. There are natural cleaners like white vinegar and baking soda, but enzymatic cleaners do the best and most thorough job of removing stains and odours.

Where should I put the dog poo bags?

Many public areas where you might walk your dog have stations specifically designed for you to toss your poo bags into. You can tie the top of the bag and just toss it into the garbage. If you use biodegradable bags, you can compost them, but that could increase the number of germs and parasites, and it isn’t wise to use the compost in your garden.

How to pick the right dog clean up products for your needs?
