Trying to Get Pregnant

Help please!
My dog peed on my very comfy/expensive mattress! Arrgg! Anyone has any clue how to get the stain/smell away? I googled it and some people have use vinegar, baking soda, steamer, etc. Just wondering if any of that stuff has helped someone in here.
TIA

Re: Help please!
Ack my dog's done this from time to time and that's why I'm so happy we keep a mattress pad on! But we were changing the sheets a few days ago and I saw a yellow stain on our very comfy/expensive mattress. DH swears he doesn't know how it got there, but it's on his side...
::watches post to see how to remove stain::
When my pup pee'd on my comforter I took it in to the dry cleaner and let them know and they got it all washed up and stain/smell free! Not sure what they used but it must have been a miracle remover!
I have also used both vinegar & baking soda on carpet pee stains and it has seemed to do the trick!
Edit: I know Bed Bath & Beyond sells some miracle spot/stain/smell remover. Might want to check that out!
I would sprinkle baking soda, spray some vinegar/water mix, then probably follow up with some febreeze.
?
LOL I don't think I can take the huge mattress to the dry cleaners but DH is trying the vinegar right now and he think it's doing the trick.
I'm so mad...it was on my side too!
Yeah - My stupid computer posted before I could finish typing! I was trying to say to call a local dry cleaner! They seem to know all the tricks of the trade as far as smells/stains are concerened!
Stupid bump!
I would second this. Vinegar and baking soda can do wonders!
I hope comes out. Oh and dries fast. A whole new meaning to sleeping on the wet spot.
UGH! We have the SAME problem in our house and quite honestly, me not being a dog person, well I'm paranoid about potty issues. I'm so ready to get rid of the pooch if we get PG...I do not want to risk my baby crawlin on carpet where feces and pee might be.
Our dog just does not get it that the house is NOT his toilet.
Anywho.....we have a small hand-held bissell steam cleaner and I tell you that thing does NOT work for urine stains...I've cleaned over the same spot twice and it still stinks. HOWEVER....we have one of those Bissell steamers that is the size of a regular vacuum and it works fantastic! And actually they make a steam cleaning solution for pet stains
Also that Miracle stuff another poster mentioned works well. You can get any pet stain stuff at PETCO or PETSMART...even WalMART.
on another note....we have this cool leak proof mattress pad. It breathes but liquid can't get through it. I would suggest lookin for one of those too.

I had to LOL at this. DH is sleeping on the wet spot, I hate smells! haha
It's ok. At least you made me and DH laugh!
You are dead to me now. This statement is inexcusable.
Thank you ladies! Your input is really appreciated. I told DH all of that and with the exception of baking soda (we don't have it in the house) he's doing everything else.
Moo - my next shopping spree will involve getting one of those covers! Too bad it took this to think about it! Oh well.
DH want me to tell you that he is NOT sleeping on the wet spot LOL So I guess we will be sleeping very tight tonight! haha
Sare is wise. It is some good stuff.
Any pet owner would be smart to have some on hands at all times.
where can I get this miracle mattress pad?
That's included in my next shopping spree as well! Thanks!
Believe me I wouldn't say it if it wasn't how I really felt...but finding feces and pee on our bed (and not just once or twice)...not too long after he went out for a walk?!! I can't live like that!!!!!!! And I don't think it's fair to leave the dog in his kennel 24-7 because of fear of him having potty problems. PLUS DH grew up having lots of dogs and said he's never had a dog have this many problems. IF you can come up with a solution that won't cost us money we don't have.....I'm ALL EARS!!!! WE've tried EVERYTHING....treats, putting a bell on the door, lots of walks, rubbing his nose in it.....nothign works!

um...take the time to housebreak him? He needs to be in his kennel sometimes since that is a vital part of housebreaking. When he is out, he needs to be watched by you. When you see him about to pee, you grab him and take him outside. It takes some patience on your part but he will get it. If you are not willing to invest the time, YOU SHOULDN"T HAVE GOTTEN THE DOG!
We got it at the place where we bought out mattress. The store is called Custom Comfort Mattress. We got it at the store in Mission Viejo. Custom Comfort Mattress website . IT was bad ass....they took a glass jar of windex and put a piece of the mattress pad over it with a rubber band holding it on. You could smell the windex but no liquid got through so it doesn't get moldy or mildew etc...and liquids can't leak through it! I'm sure you can order one if there's no store near you. GL!

Ask your vet too. Behavioral problems can have a medical component to them. There are way to fix the problem, you need to learn to take time to train the dog properly and possibly even medicate if necessary to get the issue in check. DISCARDING AN ANIMAL IS NEVER THE SOLUTION.
Oh I know I know I know believe me I AGREE! I've never had a dog and am not too keen on them. And we did housebreak him. He's on a schedule with the kennel system. Sometimes he'll go 8 hours in his kennel without one accident, but then DH will take him down to the park, he'll do his thing and come home and 10 or 15 mins later do it in the house! He's going to be 2. I just don't get it!!!!!!!!!! IT makes NO sense when he does it. And like I said I refuse to spend all my time at home "watching him" when I ahve other things I need to do...I feel bad sometimes I make him sit in the kennel because I am so scared he's gonna have an accident. I NEVER wanted the dog. IT's all DH's doing! I've told him from Day 1 that I dont' want him yet he says "I"m not getting rid of my dog...there is nothign more to be said". He's always had a dog. Not to mention we have an apartment so no yard or patio for poochie. I feel BAD more then anything for our dog...I dont' hate our dog. I just cannot stand or handle all the potty accidents and what sucks is I am the one who ends up having to do all the cleaning up, feeding him, etc....cuz DH is gone a lot. Sigh.....I suppose at one point pooch will grow on me but we're goin on year 2 and still not.

This just breaks my heart
and no, you did not housebreak him. If he was housebroken he would not go in the house. Get it? It sounds like you and your husband are just too lazy to do it.
TOO LAZY?!! WTF?! you don't even know us....YOU are just judgemental....DH works 15 hour days and sometimes on 24 hours at a time sometimes. In fact sometimes he's in the field for 2 to 3 weeks and gets 4 hours of sleep. LAZY? I think not. When I'm working, which my days last about 10-12 hours, I"m too far away to go home and walk him. When I am home I take him down frequently and walk him. He does it at random times....when we least expect it. Just when we think he's got a handle on not going in teh house, he does it.
I KNOW it sounds like I just want to throw the dog away. I'm sorry if ya'll disagree with my thinking. And I know they say that if you can't handle a pet you wont' be able to handle a child. I helped raise my nephews and nieces when my sister had her brain surgery (a set of 2 year old twins and a 11 month old girl). I have NO problem making a child my main goal and focus. We want a baby equally. We are both willing to take the responsbilities that go along with a baby. In fact I do have a stepson. But I never wanted the dog in the first place. I never wanted the responsibilities associated with it. If DH was home to take care of all the issues maybe I wouldn't be so stressed about it. I know I sound harsh to all you dog lovers out there.....but that's the thing....you are dog lovers. I'm NOT. I'm completely entitled to feel the way I do without being judged. IT's not my fault I am not a dog lover! To each his own! And people give away their animals to loving homes all the time.

I am absolutely judgmental towards people who get rid of their dogs. If your husband works so much what makes him think he had time for a dog? Maybe lazy should be replaced with irresponsible. Either way, it just makes me sad.
I will NOT disagree with you on this. I DO think it was irresponsible. I told him we should at LEAST wait until we have a yard of some sort that the doggie has access to without us having to take him out. Like I said I never wanted the dog or the responsibilities...but DH just HAD to get the dog! So yes I agree with you on that point!! Quite honestly I am pretty pissed off about it still that he was selfish to not wait until we could give the pooch a better environment! But what's done is done I guess.
