Odors are neutralized forever
Lifts fresh pet stains and odors right out, without leaving a ring! Neutralizes odors forever, so pets won't re-mark the spot. It is especially effective on sensitive wool carpet fibers. Also use on dog beds, tile, wood floors - any soiled surface. You can even deodorize garbage bins, pet cages, diaper pails, and fish odors in boats. No scrubbing! Just saturate, soak, and blot.
Dog-tergent's natural anti-microbial enzymes break down and neutralize odor. This product is formulated to attack the molecular structure of the odor-causing bacteria, as opposed to simply covering up the odor.
If you have a puppy or older, incontinent pet, we suggest you have this product on hand since the quicker you can address the problem, the better the result.
For older, set-in stains, there are other products specifically designed with a different process in mind. Stainaway is great on older stains.
Be sure to test all carpeting for colorfastness before using Dog-tergent.

Whenever dogs urinate or defecate, specific scent chemicals are passed with the urine and feces. The smell of these substances triggers an elimination reflex in dogs that is not unlike the territorial marking of their wild relatives. Pets naturally return to an area where these scent chemicals are present, thus creating "scent posts," places where pets consistently eliminate.
Cleaning up accidents thoroughly is critical to preventing the creation of scent posts in your home. With scent capacities estimated to be a hundred times greater than humans, dogs can easily detect urine and fecal odors that have been cleaned with conventional household cleaners, carpet shampoos, and ammonia. The result can be a distressing pattern of repeated accidents in the same spot.
To prevent your dog from making scent posts in your home, treat the area with Drs. Foster & Smith Dog-Tergent, an odor remover that uses natural anti-microbial enzymes to break down and neutralize the odor. These products are formulated to attack the molecular structure of the odor-causing bacteria, as opposed to simply covering up the odor.
There is a right way and a number of wrong ways to clean urine stains on carpets.
The Wrong Way: Using soap and water, household cleaners, or perfumed sprays to try to remove stains or cover up the odors.
The Right Way: For fresh, wet stains blot the area thoroughly with a dry cloth. Try to remove as much of the dampness as possible. Spray or pour on Drs. Foster & Smith Dog-Tergent, a product made specifically for pet stains that contains enzymes. These enzymes actually "eat away" or digest the odor-causing elements, permanently removing them from the deepest fibers in your carpet and the padding below. Billions of beneficial enzymes attack stains and odors immediately and do not stop working until there is nothing left to digest. In addition to eliminating odors, it also contains mild cleansers, which help remove discoloration and restore carpet fibers to their original form, and leave a pleasant scent.
If you have a puppy or older, incontinent pet, we suggest you have these products on hand since the quicker you can address the problem, the better the results.
I've used Cat-Tergent for our cat problems and it worked so well that I am curious about Dog-Tergent. What's the Dog-Tergent like and will it help on week old urine spots?
A.
Dog-Tergent is basically the same as Cat-Tergent, just formulated for the dog's urine. Dog-Tergent is especially effective on wool carpet fibers, which are the most sensitive to liquid pet waste. It is not recommended for use on cellulosic material such as viscose or rayons of certain sensitive colors. It also has more of a cinnamon scent. For older stain, Drs. Foster & Smith Stainaway works best.
Yes, Drs. Foster & Smith Cat-Tergent and Dog-Tergent can be used on any surface. Dog and Cat-Tergent can be used just like any household cleaner, on anything from carpets to litter boxes.
Drs. Foster & Smith Cat & Dog Tergent is not a disinfectant. If you want to use a disinfectant to clean, we do carry Ken-Care that has a disinfectant to kill germs.
The Dog-Tergent eliminates the odors that are left behind when your pet makes a "mess". If the odor isn't eliminated, your dog will be drawn to that area to eliminate again and again. It is much easier to train your dog to go outside if there aren't spots in the house that will attract him.
Dog-Tergent and Cat-Tergent are very easy to use. To clean a spot on carpet, simply saturate the spot, let soak, and blot with a damp sponge or cloth. If you need to use it on a flat surface, like a litter pan, spray it on the area to be cleaned and wipe away.
If I have dogs and cats, do I have to use both Cat-Tergent and Dog-Tergent?
A.
We do not recommend interchanging the Cat & Dog-Tergent. You can use the Dog-Tergent on cat mess and vice versa, but for the best results, we recommend using the appropriate Tergent for clean up.
Drs. Foster & Smith Cat-Tergent and Dog-Tergent will not leave a "ring" around the area cleaned. We recommend that you do a spot test on your carpet for colorfastness before using either Dog-Tergent or Cat-Tergent. The spot test can be done in any inconspicuous spot. Follow the spot testing instructions on the bottle.
With this helpful dog stain and odor removal product selection guide, you can better decide on which products will work best for those smelly spots and set-in stains.
Soap and water, regular household cleaners, and perfumed sprays are simply not effective on carpets where accidents happen. While they may remove surface stains, they leave odors which entice your pet to return to the area.
