A word of caution about rug deodorizers
Adding a carpet deodorizer, baking soda, Febreze or enzyme cleaner is not the same as removing pet pee and often amplifies the problem over time.

If caught fresh, there often is no urine smell or concerns with odor removal down the road. Once done, a layer of paper towel front and back to pull mosture from the rug.
