Is pet urine smell bad for you?

As humans, we tend to associate bad smells with things that could harm us physically, and the smell of pet urine could definitely be classified as a bad smell, especially if the urine is old or there is a substantial amount of it. The scent could quickly reach levels that seem harmful to your health. As urine breaks down, one of the components that are released is ammonia, which is a lung irritant when inhaled. Inhaling large amounts of ammonia can result in:
 
  • Irritation and burning to your respiratory tract
  • Productive cough
  • Watery eyes
  • Feeling tired or lightheaded suddenly
  • Runny nose
  • Asthma attack
  • Prolonged exposure can cause respiratory infections
So, in short, not only is the smell of pet urine off putting and offensive, but it can also cause some severe adverse effects on your health.

What can I do to stop my pet from peeing in the house?

The easiest way to reduce pet urine smell in the house is to keep your pet from urinating where it isn’t supposed to in the first place. The methods for appropriately house training an animal will vary by species, as the reasons the animal is urinating in your home are affected by many factors:
Young animals
Young animals who urinate in the wrong place may not have been trained by their parents and as a result of being removed too young or not being properly socialized. These animals need consistent training.
Adulthood
Animals may develop urinating behaviors as they age into adulthood, as well. Animals don’t view the smell of their own urine as “bad” as humans do, so they will urinate to mark their favorite places from time to time. This behavior is especially prominent if a new animal was recently introduced to the household, if the animal is suddenly under extreme stress such as being left alone for the first time for extended periods of time, or if the area where they normally use the bathroom has moved, changed or become excessively soiled.
Older animals
Older animals who suddenly begin urinating in the house may engage in this behavior as a result of an illness or infection, so a trip to a veterinarian may be appropriate.

How can you remove pet urine smell from carpet?

Removing the pet urine smell from your carpet can be quite the undertaking, as the smell tends to linger. Here are a few options that will get your home smelling fresh and clean again:

A professional carpet cleaning company can come out to your home and evaluate the extent of the damage and make a recommendation that is tailored to your situation.
  • Invest in an air filtration system – After the smell of pet urine in the carpet has been taken care of, you will still need a system to help remove the noxious odors from the air. The EnviroKlenz Air System captures and neutralizes odors and VOCs from the air!
