Enzymes and Pheromones!

Sometimes your dog has an accident in the house – whether they are a puppy who is still learning, or an older dog wIth medical or behavioural issues – and you clean it up, and the problem is solved! Sometimes it isn’t that easy, though. Often, owners find their dog returning to the exact same spot where they had an accident originally and think that it is just a bad habit that has come over the dog. While it might be habit, often it is because the dog can still smell himself in that spot. When dogs urinate, there are pheromones in their urine. You could clean the floor or carpet with bleach, vinegar, floor cleaners, and whatever else – it will be clean and scent free to you and I, but your dog can still smell his/her pheromones! Pheromones will attract your dog back to the same spot, where he will use the bathroom again and again. You’ll notice if you have a backyard your dog has spots that he likes to go to the bathroom in, and pheromones are why.

So, how do you break the cycle?
Buy a stain and odour remover that contains enzymes! Enzymes will remove the pheromones, and your dog will no longer return to the same spot. If he does, you’ll know that you either did not get all of his scent (try several times), or it is in fact a behavioural issue.
