ASK DR. SCHELLING
DEAR DR. SCHELLING,
Lately my dog has been having accidents in my home. I'm working on correcting this issue but am unsure about the best way to clean and rid my carpet of stains and odor. Any tips?
-Jeremy
Dogs may urinate inside the home for many different reasons, including medical issues, behavioral problems, or excitement. When a pet continues to urinate in inappropriate areas you need to rule out medical and behavioral problems by a trip to your veterinarian or a behavioral specialist.
When accidents happen—this article will help you deal with them. Follow these steps to thoroughly clean up dog urine and eliminate odor. Not only will your home smell better, but your dog will also be less likely to urinate in the same spot since dogs tend to urinate where previous urine is detected.

Dear Max,
I just got a lovable puppy, Lady. Lady is a wonderful dog but I'm having issues potty training her so I thought I would go straight to the source and ask you, what is the best way to potty train a puppy?

Dear Lauren,
When thinking back on my puppy-hood I remember my humans being very patient, giving lots of praise and helping me develop a potty routine. To get the full scoop on how to successfully potty train Lady check out this article on POTTY TRAINING YOUR PUPPY.

Max's Mini-Reviews
SQUEEZE MEEZE FROG: When it comes to squeak toys nothing beats the Squeeze Meeze! Not only does the Squeeze Meeze frog look and feel cool but it sticks out its tongue letting everyone know that this is my toy and I'm not sharing.
ZERO ODOR: I'll admit it, sometimes I can be stinky. When I'm not smelling my best I get a bath but things like my favorite rug and bed aren't so simple for my humans to clean up in a hurry. That's when they use their secret weapon—Zero Odor. I don't know exactly how it works but if it can tackle the lingering scent of the things I like to roll in then it can handle anything.
