Wet Dog Smell After Carpet Cleaning

Sounds like the carpet didn't dry thoroughly. I hope this isn't a mold smell...Could be an odor bacteria smell. I had to get rid of my wall to wall carpet. Carpets trap all kinds of things...
I would have an expert carpet cleaner tell you if the carpet is dry or if it needs to be cleaned again.

Maybe there is a leak somewhere...

One of my dogs had allergies...I changed to organic dog food (dry)- There is no soy, wheat, corn (allergens)..in the food and my pup is doing much better. I wash her bedding in clear detergent only.

if you carpet is made of wool (which some are) it will smell like wet dog when wet.

Mix equal amounts of liquid fabric softener and vinegar (white) with 2x's the amount of water. Spray on carpets like you would fabreez . I do this after everyone else has gone to bed, this allows for at least 8 hrs of drying time. The vinegar is a little overpowering at first, but always removes the smells. You can also place a piece of bread in a dish and pour vinegar over it to help control room odors. Set out at night then remove in the morning. Aren't dogs fun LOL.

That happens after we clean our carpets too, especially in the master bedroom, where our dog sleeps. It takes two to four days for it to completely dry out and go away. It just depends on how wet the carpet is and how hot/dry the air is.

I have dogs and if I am gone more than a few hours sometimes they have accidents. I regularly clean my carpet with a vinegar water mix in my carpet scrubber. It's amazing how much better my house smells after I treat the carpets.

Yikes - you might want to get a pro in to do another cleaning. Better to spend a little on that then spend a lot on a new carpet.

that wet dog smell is usually the smell of mold. maybe the pad got wet?

Not to add to your worries, but do a spot check of your house, to see if you don't have a small/ slow leak elsewhere. i.e. the pipes to the ice maker of the fridge, a problem with your hvac, a leaving faucet within a vanity.

My mom's dedicated water heater, a small unit in her gf bath, blew right around the time that she had her carpets cleaned. It was leaking for over a week until she figured it out. what would have been a small fix amounted to a costly one.

Best,

I think what you're smelling is from the dog licking and it getting into the pad. Then, when you shampooed all you did was pull that up from the pad. You will probably have to get a pro to do it over and if that doesn't work, you'll need to change the pad.
