Being in the military, I have have had to move often and know how difficult it is to find a nice place to rent with two, well trained large dogs. Knowing and experiencing that, I allowed dogs into one of my properties and I will say that I will never do it again after my most recent experience. The tenant had two small dogs and apparently (from what my neighbors told me) left her dogs in the house for days at a time. When we moved back into the house their was so much dog urine soaked through the pad and stained the concrete slab underneath. The tac strips from the carpet were saturated in many places. There was dog urine under the washer and dryer (tile floor) that soaked the base boards. I definitely learned that all dog owners are not the same! If I were to allow them again, the house would have to be completely tiled, even then, there is room for damage to the baseboards.
