I would have a professional come and clean them. But unfortunately I don't think you will get the smell completely out. ONce it goes to the backing and padding of a carpet you can't get the smell out. In the long run it is probably easier to take the carpet out in the rooms that smell the worse and replace them. You probably should keep your dogs confined to an area with easy to clean floors like a kitchen or bathroom until they only go on the pads.
I don't use pads myself only because several people recommended against it i.e. breeders, vets., trainers, and like long pet owners because for some dogs it can be confussing for them about which areas are okay and not okay to use as a bathroom area. I live in New Jersey but also spend time in colder areas during the winter. I have never really had housebreaking probs. myself because outside is the only option my dogs have ever had. I have relatives who live in Canada and Denver, Co. both areas have cold weather and they have little dogs, too. They put booties and coats on their dogs and they dogs go to the bathroom fast outside even when it is heavily snowing.
Good luck with your babies. |
