If your carpet still smells like dog urine after cleaning, it could be due to several reasons:

• Deep Penetration: Urine can seep into the carpet padding and even the subfloor, making it hard to remove with standard cleaning methods.

• Improper Cleaning Solutions: Some household cleaners can mask the smell temporarily but don’t break down urine crystals, causing the odor to return once the carpet dries.

• Humidity and Moisture: If the carpet remains damp after cleaning, it can reactivate urine residues, bringing back the smell.

• Bacteria Growth: Pet urine contains organic matter that bacteria feed on, producing strong ammonia-like odors.

To fully eliminate pet urine odors, professional cleaning with enzymatic treatments and deep extraction is recommended.
