Pet Accidents Can Cause Long-Term Damage
Pet Urine
Pet urine contains nitrogen. It typically has a powerful ammonia-like smell. When your animal smells the ammonia, they will continue to urinate in the same place. The more often your pet urinates on the carpet, the stronger the smell gets. The urine penetrates into the carpet fibers, and the more often your beloved pet has accidents in the same place, the deeper the urine goes into the carpet. That increases the likelihood that the chemicals in the urine will severely damage, if not destroy the carpet, the padding below it, and ultimately, damage or destroy the subfloor under everything.
Pet Vomit
Pet vomit stains the carpet with the contents of our animal’s stomach. Vomit also releases stomach acids that the digestive system uses to break down food. Like most acids, stomach acid can harm or potentially destroy the carpet. The smell is something that lingers, and it will really hinder your ability to enjoy spending time in the room where the pet got sick.
