If you're new to keeping pets and you're lucky enough not to know what pet urine looks like yet, we'll certainly be happy to help you identify it. Dog urine is amber-colored; just like how it is with humans dogs excrete their urine – which is composed of waste and protein - from their kidneys.

The color of dog urine may vary depending on your dog's medical history, its age, gender and health.

Because of this, an older dog would cause worse urine odor and stains compared to a younger dog. The permanence of dog urine stains will also depend on the same factors.

Since dog diets are less rich in protein compared to cat diets, you'll probably notice that dog urine odor is not as bad as it is with cat urine.
