According to research from the PDSA, almost half of us own a pet. A quarter of UK adults own a cat, with 24% having a dog, and 2% owning rabbits.
With an estimated 11.1 million cats and 8.9 million dogs living in UK homes, it’s perhaps no surprise that we spend hours cleaning up after them! Even the cleanest cat or smallest dog can leave bad smells in your home, so in our guide we look at how to get rid of the smell of dog and cat in your home.
