If you’re having a hard time getting rid of the bad smell of your cat’s litter box, you may want to check on the box itself. No matter how consistent you are in changing the litter in the box, it’s no use if the box is the one that’s causing the unpleasant smell. This happens because litter debris and waste residue can accumulate on the box’s surface over time, providing a good place for bacteria and odors to reside.
In general, litter boxes should be cleaned by scrubbing, using mild soap and warm water. In addition, you may also use vinegar to make the box’s surface clean and fresh. It’s advisable to use a plastic litter pan when you’re changing the litter to keep the box odor-free. Lastly, before putting the new litter inside, don’t forget to ensure that the box has completely dried.
A sudden change in your pet’s elimination habits should warrant an appointment with your animal hospital Tampa, FL.
