How to Remove a Cat Urine Smell From Dogs

Cat urine can be difficult to remove, especially if it gets on your carpet, clothes or bedding. Fortunately, cats are very good about urinating in their litter box unless it's dirty. If you have a dog and a cat living in the same house it is a good idea to keep the cat's litter box away from the dog, especially if your dog is mostly curious. If your dog smells like cat urine, chances are it got sprayed by your cat or got in the cat's litter box. To eliminate the urine smell you must bathe your dog thoroughly.
