One of the biggest drawbacks to looking at a home is a pet smell. If you have a pet smell in your home it is imperative to get rid of it. First find out where the pet odor is coming from. If it is the animal's bedding or kennel, clean it with a good cleaner and then once dry do the smell test. One of my favorite cleaners is Oxiclean. It really works well for me. Sometimes I will use a cleaner such as Mr. Clean or Lysol and then spray with Oxiclean and then rinse and wipe down. I also use Oxiclean on pet stains on the carpet, but if you try it, do a test on the carpet in a corner first. I have never had a problem using it. It gets rid of the stain and the odor. You may have to get your carpet professionally cleaned.
I have heard you can ozone your home to get rid of smells such as pet smells and cigarette smells. Even an air purifier will work wonders on smells.
If you have a cat, clean the kitty litter box often. Don't use a cheap brand of kitty litter as it doesn't get rid of the smell.
Make sure your dog doesn't have an odor or give him/her a bath.
