There is a product called urine Gone that apparently comes with a black light for detecting the urine. You may find that it has sprayed up on your base boards a little and needs to be cleaned there too. As others have already said, I recommend getting something with an enzyme base and you will find several such products at Pet and stores like that and maybe from your vet too. The smell does seem to get a little stronger while the cleaner is working so do not be surprised.

I know what it's like to loose a partner, especially one who has been a faitful guide. So, my only real suggestion is hire a carpet cleaning service who has a specialty in dealing with your situation. I had my former German Shepherd guide blow his tanks in the basement after eating what we thought was a good treat, but discovered it might be good for some dogs, but not him. Needless to say we used a carpet machine my father had, but it didn't totally do the job so my neighbor who owns a carpet cleaning business brought over the heavy gear, a truck-mounted rig and really rid the carpet of the smell. He used some pre-spray stuff that was designed for this purpose and then finished it up with the heavy equipment. Not the least expensive option perhaps, but will resolve your problem quickly. Hopefully it's not gotten into the wood etc. On Jun 11, 2008, at 4:11 PM, Barry Levine wrote: > > Howdy Folks, > > Last Friday, I put down my lab, my guide for the better part of the > past 11 > years.
