No matter how well-groomed your pet is - unpleasant odours can occur. And there are many different causes. With cats and dogs, it is often a mishap on the sofa. With some dogs it is a characteristic odour of their own, older animals smell stronger than young ones and dogs that have not been neutered smell more perceptible than neutered ones. This is particularly true of dogs with thick coats and a lush undercoat. Things that animals eat other than their normal food can also lead to unpleasant odours. If our four-legged friends then make themselves comfortable in their own bed, on the sofa or on the blanket, it doesn't take long for the textiles to absorb the odours. In the case of urine or vomit, the dirt is in the upholstery in a matter of seconds. The difficult thing is that the odour is not primarily caused by soiling. It is bacteria that feed on the soiling and cause the odour to become more and more intense. These are usually already deep in the fabric and are difficult to reach.
