Odors Be Gone

Puppies are always fun to have around the house; they’re playful, lovable, and adorable when they’re not yet a year old.  However, having a puppy is a lot of work, and during the first year puppies require extensive attention.  To help prepare for a puppy, you will want to purchase items like a dog crate, chew toys, dog brush, and puppy food in advance.  You might also want to consider items like lemon juice (to prevent from barking), and a pet stain remover to remove urine odor from carpet and floors.

Puppies require a lot of exercise and need to be fed up to three times a day.  If you work and are the sole caretaker for a new puppy, you might need to come home during lunch to let them out and feed them for the first several months.

Most people have their cat’s litter box in some out of the way location in the house.  Whether it’s the garage, the laundry room, or the seldom used bathroom, the odor can be overpowering, not to mention the occasional mess.  I live in a small apartment with my cat, so regardless of where I put the litter box, I smell it.  The cat urine odor seems most potent when I’m trying to sleep, and it often keeps me awake.  I’ve tried to use air fresheners or cover up the scent, but it seemed impossible. 

I talked to a woman at a pet store and told her about my problem, and she suggested I use an odor eliminator, rather than attempting to mask the scent.  Odor eliminators target the actual smell, and make it go away, rather than covering it up.  I bought a simple spray at the pet store, and since then, not only can I not smell my cat’s litter box anymore, but I sleep better at night.
