We all love our pets, but let’s be real, dog smells aren’t exactly pleasant. Over time, those lingering odors can do more than just make a room feel stuffy. They can sink deep into surfaces, affect your home’s air quality, and even hurt its value if you’re thinking about selling.
That’s where P.O.R.S. comes in. As a trusted pet odor removal specialist, we understand how serious pet-related smells can get. Our proven methods go far beyond surface cleaning to completely eliminate odors from the ground up.
Dog smells don’t just sit on the surface. Things like body oils, urine accidents, and that “wet dog” scent can all work their way into the structure of your home. They seep into:
Once they’re in, they don’t come out easily. Even if you scrub and vacuum every day, that smell can return the minute humidity levels rise.
Over time, these smells can stain materials, attract bacteria, and create long-term damage. That’s why many homeowners are turning to professionals for serious residential odor removal.
What’s even trickier is that many pet owners stop noticing the smell after a while. This is called “nose blindness”—your brain gets used to the scent, so you no longer register it. But that doesn’t mean the odor isn’t there. In fact, guests and potential buyers notice it right away.
Ignoring dog odors doesn’t just hurt your comfort; it can also make your home feel neglected or uninviting. If your goal is to create a fresh, healthy space, tackling the smell head-on is a must.
It’s tempting to grab a spray, light a candle, or sprinkle some powder and call it a day. But those tricks only mask the issue. The core problem is still there, buried under carpet layers or trapped in drywall. That’s why odors always seem to “come back” after a few days.
At P.O.R.S., we don’t rely on fragrances or enzymes to hide the smell. We find the exact source of the odor using inspection tools, remove contamination, and then apply proven odor-blocking and encapsulating solutions.
This approach eliminates the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. That means no more masking, guessing, or re-treating the same area over and over again.
Our team is trained to identify not just where the smell is, but how far it’s spread. Every home is different, so we customize our process based on what we find. Whether the odor is isolated to one room or has affected multiple areas of your house, we know how to handle it.
We treat surfaces thoroughly, dry out moisture, clean residue, and apply odor sealants when needed. You won’t be left with any lingering smells—or overwhelming perfumes either. Just a fresh, clean space that feels livable again.
We’re also one of the few pet odor removal specialists who specialize in deep-level odor damage, like the kind that affects subfloors, framing, or HVAC systems.
Here’s how to know if it’s time to bring in the pros:
At that point, DIY just won’t cut it. A residential odor removal expert like P.O.R.S. has the right tools, products, and experience to handle it right the first time.
The longer you wait, the worse it gets. Odors that start off as surface issues can sink deeper into your home’s structure. And once they hit subflooring or framing, they can be expensive to fix.
There’s also the cost of your peace of mind. No one wants to feel embarrassed when guests visit or avoid certain rooms because they smell bad. Dealing with dog odors early prevents all that and helps preserve your home’s value over time.
