It's 93 degrees today and I knew something was wrong when I saw my little 15 lb dog all wet and dirty. Then I spotted a fresh puddle of pee and smelled ammonia all over my poor dog. I rinsed him, scrubbed him with the horse's shampoo, and then rinsed the shampoo off. He's currently in the kitchen (indoor dog) wrapped in a towel and feeling very sorry for himself.
Now the problem is the smell Oh my.
Does anyone know how to get the smell off of him?!
I didn't know where else to ask and surprisingly couldn't find any answers on google :rolleyes:

Poor thing that's pretty funny though when my dog Athelstan was a puppy I brought him to the barn and picked him up and carried him to my horse my horse just sniffed him and went back to eating and Athelstan aparently thought I was trying to feed him to a giant monster peed all down my arm and he's still scared of horses and he hated it when I would ride he would litterally beg me to get off anyway my dogs have gotten into some pretty bad stuff before dead animals rotten pumpkin another dogs crap one time they just plain stunk like they were growing mold I just washed them over and over until I didn't smell anything but wet dog not sure if that will help though also if your dog has issues with dry skin I'd use some conditioner after I was done not sure if it would help with that but it seems like it would and I think I tried it on one of mine once and it did a lot better than usual

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Poor little guy!
Try a dawn dish soap bath, dry him off, and sprinkle baking soda on him and rub it in.
Did this to a dog that really stunk and it worked.
Anyways doesn't the horse (A male I guess) mind him standing under it?:D
Good Luck.:rofl:

Alright, I used baking soda and now I can stand to be in the same room as him lol.
My horse is a mare, she's pretty careful around him and the cats we have. She doesn't care if they jump on her, play with her tail, sleep on her, or walk under her. My dog tries to eat hay with her, drinks out of her water bucket, and rolls in the sand just like she does. If I'm lunging her and he jumps out in front of her she'll slow down, lower her head, and nudge him out of the way. That being said, my dog isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and I knew this would happen someday!

I would go to a large pet supply store and get an enzyme shampoo advertised to remove odors. They are definitely out there.

Dawn dish soap (original blue formula only) is a standard cleaner for oil soaked sea birds and mammals. Not sure whether it works on urine.

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, mixed just before pouring on, with a little shampoo to make it hang together, is the sovereign remedy for skunk odor. Not sure how it works on urine but worth a try. Follow up with a dog shampoo.

This. Works for me every time on skunk odour and even BO on my son's football gear. Make a paste, add a few drops of soap, rub in and rinse.

Better than an umbrella hat would be to teach him to stay out of the horse areas----he's pretty little (and cute!) to risk getting stepped on or kicked. Try washing him in Dawn, but be sure to let it sit for 5-7 minutes so it can cut through the urine before rinsing. Then follow with a strong dilution of ACV and water, again letting it soak for 5 minutes before rinsing.

Sorry I had to laugh.

I had a Cocker Spaniel that would sit all day by the water butt waiting for someone to turn the tap on ans squirt the water. She was sat there one day when a horse behind her peed amd she rushed under him snapping at the pee thinking it was the water!

Had no problem with the smell as the children played with the water for ages and it just washed off.

Spry your dog with some Feebreeze it neutralises most smells,

LOL! I'm sorry I can't help it, but this is too funny. You just made my day picturing this!

My grandpa has actually had this happen on more than one occasion, he's an old school farmer and used to train TBs for the track. He always had his dogs in the barn, usually GSDs so longer/thicker hair. Anywho, whenever something like this happened where the dog got peed on or rolled in fresh pee, he swore by tomato sauce. I do not know exactly what his reasoning was, but apparently it worked well enough that he used it every time. He always told me he just got a large can of tomato sauce (like no chunks) and bathed the dog in it. I have no idea if the dog smelled of tomatos after or what, but he has always stood by that.

Tomato products like juice and sauce work along the same lines as vinegar does- because they are acidic, when they interact with something that's usually fairly alkaline like urine, it balances out and helps "neutralize" the compounds that make urine stink. So the old "tomato juice to neutralize bad smells" thing does have some truth to it!

If it was a mare going into, in or coming out of heat and there is estrogen in the mix it can hang around for awhile. We've used dawn on the mares tails at show time and follow it with a heavy soak cycle of Nature's Miracle. Comes in gallon size at Pets Mart made to get rid of organic based odors. There used to be only one scent available but now they have a few. That works wonders on smells.
