Is there bacteria in the air from dog urine?

Tim, urine is only "sterile" until it hits a surface and begins harbouring bacteria.

"Dogs secrete lots of bacteria in their urine and feces (just as humans do), and some of those have the potential to cause human illness. Not only that, but urine provides a pretty good environment for bacteria to grow in, even if the dog wasn't actually putting out those bacteria."

You have been told the steps wrongly, the right solution but wrong way, never spray water on the urine first this just spread the urine further, you mix one cup of White Vinegar to a half bucket of hot water, scrub the area with a cloth, not a colored cloth though you could bleed the colors from the cloth onto your carpet, then when you have scrubbed a little then you blot up as much as you can with a thick towel, not colored towel, then you repeat step once more, but don't soak carpet this will bring up the urine that has already soaked to the pad, then blot again, then you must do more steps, you must then wash the carpet with some dishwashing detergent or a capful of Wisk to your half bucket of water, then scrub again once you have done this you can then rinse with some clear warm water, then blot up excess water, then for the final step you should place a towel over the area and put something heavy on top of the towel over night then the next day you can take off the towel and sprinkle some Baking soda on top of the spot for a day or so, I usually leave mine on for about two days then you just vacuum up your carpet will smell really fresh and clean afterwards and you should not smell any urine if you do then you are getting the smell from the underpad which that piece should be replaced because it will keep emanating up through your carpet no matter what you do. Good Luck !

RE:

Is there bacteria in the air from dog urine?

I walked into someone's house the other day and the smell of urine was so bad that I could barely breathe.

They have an older dog that can't walk so I guess the urine and waste from the dog is collected by the sleeping bag or blankets that this dog lays on. He is an older man and spends...

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

Is There Bacteria In Urine

Urine itself is sterile..

There is a risk from ammonia build up.. if urine collects in enclosed spaces the ammonia levels in the air can reach toxic levels.

Check the government websites below for more information:

Update for 'erthe_mama':

as far as "urine provides a pretty good environment for bacteria to grow in" that would be the same for any liquid left around.. not just urine.. the foul air that 'donna u' noticed was the ammonia build up.

Update for 'donna u':

You might want to consider buying a crate tray. These are the plastic trays which line the bottom of those dog crates. I posted the link to an example below (3rd link).. they don't cost too much and would help to contain the fluids to the immediate area. Otherwise I would also replace the bed with one which can be washed..

I don't think there is bacteria in the air from urine, but the ammonia is quite unhealth for people and pets alike. Ammonia can irritate the throat, lungs, skin and eyes of people. Sounds like the man could use some assistance with cleaning and taking his dog outdoors to relieve itself. Maybe you could help or let one of his relatives know that he needs some assistance.

Why didn't you help him out by mopping the floor with bleach solution, laundering the dog's bed, washing the dog? It would have been the right thing to do.

Help the old guy out and the poor dog, he is probably all irritated from lying in his own urine. I'm sure the old guy can use a good meal, a case of dog food for his dog, and maybe some of his laundry done too.

This man needs help! Is he all there? probably not if the ammonia is permanating his home like that and he doesn't know it's harmful to his health. I'd say call APS. But they would just put him in a shitty nursing home and take the dog to a shelter will it will be euthanized. Maybe you can help him clean up. Wash the blankets it lays on, wash the dog and buy some of those doggy diapers for it. His family members can go to jail if they know he is living in such deplorable conditions and doing nothing.

You are covering up one odor with another. Try using an enzyme pet product. You can find them at pet stores and even supermarkets in the pet department. Enzyme cleaners eliminate the odors by "eating" them. This is the same way a septic tank works. Bacteria in the enzymes will stop the odors.
