Paw Prints and New Beginnings: A Puppy’s First Week (and What It Means for Your Carpets)

Bringing home a new puppy is one of life’s greatest joys. The cuddles, the playful energy, and those floppy ears can melt even the toughest hearts. But along with the cute chaos come challenges—especially for your carpets.

Meet the Andersons, a Bend, Oregon family who recently welcomed a golden doodle puppy named Daisy into their home. Like many first-time pet parents, they were prepared for everything... except what Daisy had in store for their brand-new living room carpet.

The First Week with Daisy: A Carpet’s Perspective

Daisy was everything they hoped for—curious, cuddly, and full of energy. But by Day Three, the honeymoon was over for the carpet.

  • Accident #1: A small puddle in the corner.

  • Accident #2: A trail of muddy paw prints after a backyard romp.

  • Accident #3: A shredded toilet paper party that left confetti embedded in the fibers.

The Andersons tried to clean up with store-brand products, but the smells lingered, and the stains deepened. They needed professional help.

That’s when they discovered Cleaner Living Carpets, Bend's go-to for eco-friendly carpet and upholstery cleaning.

Tips for Pet Owners: How to Protect Your Carpets

Want to avoid the same headaches the Andersons faced? Here are a few pro tips:

1. Start House Training Early

Consistency is key. Take your puppy out often and praise successes.

2. Use Area Rugs or Runners

Protect high-traffic areas until your puppy is fully trained.

3. Clean Spills Immediately

Blot, don’t scrub! Use a clean towel and avoid harsh chemicals.

4. Schedule Regular Professional Cleanings

We recommend a professional deep clean every 3–6 months if you have pets.

5. Choose Pet-Safe Products

Avoid bleach or harsh sprays. Stick to natural, enzyme-based solutions.
