Question:

Carpet Fresh?

Hi, I have a two and a half month old Pomeranian who coughs and sneezes only when in his potty training cage. Are dogs allergic to carpet fresh? Should I keep the dog up high away from the carpet? I clean the cage every day with doggie disinfectant so I don't think it's the cage.

Answer:

He may be allergic to it or it may be too strong for him to breathe. I use clorex wipes and then spray lysol. Does great with mine. Just make sure you wait a little bit after you spray, before putting the dog in.
When you use carpet fresh a little bit of the powder stays in the carpet even after vacuuming. This can be very irritable to people as well as pets. I would stop using the carpet fresh all together.
carpet fresh isn't really good around pets. since it is such a fine powder they can easily breathe it in and cause problems. it is also loaded with chemicals. if you feel the need to do something like that, take him out of the room, sprinkle on baking soda, let it sit for 15 minutes and vacuum it up. it could also be the cleaner you use in the cage. he could be allergic to either one. you can't keep the dog up off the carpet. dogs have legs for a reason and need to walk, even cute little dogs.
He might be allergic to it! Change it to a different one.
