I had the same problem with a new house I bought. Only the bedrooms were carpeted but the carpet smelled like urine. I had it professionally cleaned and the smell just kept coming back because it had soaked into the padding.

I had new carpet installed and they told me about a special kind of carpet pad that prevented urine from soaking into the pad. It had some kind of plastic barrier on it. It was only a few cents extra so I went for it. In total I think it cost me around $50 extra for the special padding. It really works. Bailey has been having some incontinence problems lately and the pad keeps all of the urine in the carpet which I can clean versus the pad which I can't.
