What to Do First
Upon discovery, your best bet for complete dog pee small removal is by following these steps.
Tackling the Stain
There are three possible options for directly removing dog urine from your carpet.

Using a solution of equal parts vinegar and water has been shown to be effective. The key is to liberally apply the solution so that it will soak into all of the fibers of the carpet. After the solution of vinegar and water has been scrubbed in and has dried sprinkle baking soda over the area. Leave the baking soda to sit, and then vacuum it up after a few minutes.

There are numerous commercial cleaners on the market that work well. You just need to be sure that it is an enzyme based cleaner as that is the most successful at dog pee small removal.
