Both cats and dogs may exhibit indoor urination behaviors to mark their territory, often targeting walls, furniture, or new objects. It’s crucial to address this behavior early on, ensuring it’s not related to a medical issue.
Establishing a routine or designated spaces for elimination can help, but if they persist in specific areas, a homemade solution may deter them from repeating the behavior.
Here’s a recipe to prevent indoor urination:
Ingredients:
