Pathogens Under Pet Potty Spots

Many medical issues can cause this behavior, such as upset stomach, intestinal parasites, or for older pets, dementia. Baby animals like puppies are often still learning to control their bladder and bowel, so homeowners who keep younger animals should be prepared to deal with the mess while continuing to train their pets. There are many easy DIY solutions to help owners keep up with pet stains and odors, but these might not always work as well as hiring a professional.

Home Remedies

A mixture of vinegar and baking soda is said to be able to remove urine and blood stains from carpets and couches. While this is true, as it breaks down the crystals of the urine and pulls out stains, the possible pathogens present in animal excretions stay. Cats, for example, excrete pathogen in their feces and viruses are shed in animal urine, which can pose a threat if left untreated.
