getting animal smell out of a room that seems clean!
Comments (5)I'm going to bet your odor is coming from the grout. Unless your grout had been recently sealed within an inch of it's life, it can be porous. The same thing can happen around tiled toilet areas especially when little men are practicing their aim. You can scrub and scrub but that "tinge of tinkle" is still there. I use a product from Wally World in the pet section that's a pet odor and urine solution. Very cheap and it is amazing. It contains an enzyme but has no odor whatever when you spray it. Doesn't have to be diluted either. It's milky white and watery. Saturate your grout lines with this, let sit for awhile, then wipe clean. I think you'll be pleased with the results. I've also used this enzyme spray on really funky work shoes and stubborn odors from unknown sources at our hunting camp which is where the bottle is or I'd provide you the specific name. Nursing homes often use a similar product for intense odor issues. It's nice to read about a happy outcome for the feral babes and their mamas. You were so gracious to care for them. So many won't....See MoreDead exotic animals
Comments (25)We know a couple that have exotic animals, we didn't know they had what they did, we knew they had a camel and one cervil, but found out later that they have a whole slew of animals. We were led to believe they were a rescue organization for exotics, but found out the truth is they're brokers/breeders! I'm just sick about it. They also happen to have a completely different political outlook than DH and I, so I wonder if, in their case, there is a link? I have a hard time with people who have their dogs live outside (In some rural areas it's fine, but if you're suburban, there is no reason IMHO) so it's even more difficult to see mountain lions, zebras, bears and even exotic porquipines caged up for some 'collector'....See MoreOld hardwoods and animal smells: Help!

Comments (7)In the past I've solved animal urine odor problems in rental properties by removing the carpet and sealing the wood underneath with 2 coats of oil-based floor enamel. (Do they even make that stuff any more?) I think the key is that the finish must cure by chemical reaction, not by solvent evaporation. In this case of course you don't want enamel, but rather a clear finish. I'm not an expert on floor finishing, but maybe something like a good traditional spar varnish would work....See MoreDog rolled in a dead animal
Comments (19)Hey ! Perhaps I have an answer to this question. Causes Before dealing with any unpleasant action of your pet, you need to consider the features that can lead to such action. There are several reasons for wallowing in moldy stuff and garbage. Nice Smell It may seem strange, but dogs perceive scents in a very different way than humans. The pleasant smell of flowers for us may not cause them any emotions, but the smell of garbage is just as pleasant for them as perfume. Therefore, the desire to fall in rotten meat can be dictated by pleasant sensations. Instinct They inherited this habit from their ancient relatives – wolves. Before hunting, they often smear themselves in such things to disguise their scent. When the prey does not smell the predator, it is much easier to catch it. That is why the desire to wallow in the trash is often more acutely felt by hunting dogs. Stress, Strong Emotional Upheavals Sometimes dogs want to avoid unpleasant situations in this way (in this case, the procedure of dumping in the garbage acts as a disguise). The pet may be trying to avoid encountering an unpleasant animal or going to the veterinary clinic....See Morekmealy
