Can dog urine in your home make you sick?
Yes, it certainly can. Even healthy pets will have foul-smelling urine which could be detrimental to your health, and could cause the cultivation of harmful bacteria in your home.
It can be very unhealthy for a person to be constantly exposed to the smell of dog urine.

- Dog urine smells foul and this is because of the ammonia present in it. Ammonia is an irritant to the lungs and, in large amounts, will make you feel ill.
- The ammonia present in dog urine is especially dangerous to children. This is because their respiratory system is still developing, and is therefore more vulnerable to infection.
- Unless dog urine is thoroughly removed and cleaned from a carpet or other surface, this place will become a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. This can cause you to pick up an infection.
- Dog urine can also carry disease which can easily be transferred to humans, and constant exposure to the odor of dog urine will not do a person's mental health any good either.
