One of my older cats had an accident all over every part of our pack and play. How I don't know, but this got every bit of it out. It really is freaking miracle...use this and then hose out / air dry the pack and play. You won't smell a thing.

I'd go to your local pet store and get something that's specifically formulated for dog pee. I also used Nature's Miracle -- https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Destroyer-Eliminator-P-5727/dp/B003I5VTRW.
Look at the silver lining: at least it was a dog, not a cat!
Him not being angry about it is love right there!
Btw, if you find you still have issues with smell on the bed after cleanup, consider getting Nature's Miracle.
When my dog was in her last couple weeks, she lost bladder control while sleeping on the bed. She was a large dog and we weren't expecting it. We blotted up as much as we could, then doused the area with Nature's Miracle. After letting it sit for a bit, we covered it with a folded towel. It took a couple days to dry thoroughly (we did change out the towel, too!), but we never had an issue with odor after. (Of course, this was on an innerspring mattress and not memory foam or anything, so your mileage may vary.)
Once it was dry, we wrapped the dog's portion of the mattress with plastic bags so she could spend her last days snuggling with us.
Best of luck to you and him! :)
I can't believe nobody mentioned Urine Destroyer. This stuff is where it's AT.

One of my cats is a little sensitive and will pee all over everywhere except the box when changes to his routine or environment happen. I've taken him in multiple times thinking he has crystals or a UTI and nope. Behavior issues. I would be absolutely lost without the Urine Destroyer, it's saved many days. If you've been trying to integrate for over a year, I would think she'd have acclimated by now. Which might be better? A medical issue can be fixed. Behavioral stuff? Damn. Stock up on UD.
Your puppy is being let out often enough to go when it needs, so great job!
Crate training is essential here. It discourages inappropriate behavior. I crate trained my dog until he was 11 mos - I didn't want to keep him in a crate, but it 's a vital part of him learning his place in the home. The home is to be respected: this is not a place to potty!
A crate is great at times, but when you want her to be "free" to wander and enjoy the house, keep her in the same room with you. Use puppy gates or even a long leash. I know it seems silly, but keeping her on a leash is ideal for behavioral issues. She's old enough to understand she has to go outside, and I don't know if she's being naughty or just oblivious. It shouldn't take longer than a week of consistent repetition to get this under control.
Also, you've got to clean where ever she's pottied inside REALLY REALLY well. Dogs are simple: if it smells like a bathroom, it must be a bathroom. Go nuts with cleaning agents, and definitely keep her away from areas she would have used several times. Cheap cleaning agents include baking soda and vinegar. Nature's Miracle is pretty great as well. http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Miracle-Destroyer-Eliminator-P-5727/dp/B003I5VTRW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444703083&sr=8-1&keywords=dog+pee+cleaner
Lastly, make sure she's getting plenty of exercise and play. This could be a cryout for more attention/ boredom.
Just a heads up, if you really can't get them to do anything about the cat smell, there's this enzyme cleaner stuff you can buy at the pet store that is for literally exactly that- cleaning up cat pee- and it works amazingly. When I lived with my parents, my cat hate-peed all over the hallway and on my mom's stuff (not without reason, I guess) and that stuff cleaned it up with no lingering odor at all. Here's a link to it, might be worth a shot.
Your puppy is still very young so I'd take him out every hour if possible. Dogs also tend to want to use the bathroom after they've played so it's possible the play time reward is making him feel like he needs to go again. Make sure you're cleaning every last scent out of his kennel so it's not encouraging him to go there, you can buy special sprays for it. I use Nature's Miracle.
natures miracle urine destroyer I had to use a half gallon lol
Good on you for trying to do right by your dog! It sounds like her quality of life is generally good for a senior dog. I know how frustrating and exhausting it can be to clean up after an incontinent dog - believe me, I know! - but destroying an otherwise healthy dog for something like this is unconscionable.
You've already gotten good advice here, but I wanted to offer a clean-up suggestion that might make your parents more tolerant of her incontinence. Have you tried Nature's Miracle? It's great for getting rid of urine smells. You can also sprinkle baking soda onto a smelly rug, let it sit for an hour or two, and vacuum it up to help neutralize odors.
My pup takes a prescription medication that caused temporary excessive thirst and excessive urination while he was adjusting to it. Our vet encouraged us to schedule his water intake during that time. Basically, while he was adjusting to the medicine he was getting all the water he needed, but timed in such a way that made accidents less likely. He got 2/3 of his overall water with his meals, and then got a potty break shortly afterwards. The other 1/3 of his water was given at other times, but in smaller increments. (I felt really funny/bad about doing this, but both our regular vet and the amazing, extremely competent specialist who prescribed this medication suggested it, and it did work well.) So you might check with your vet to see if this would be safe/appropriate for your dog.
I've also been giving him this bladder supplement. I'm not sure if it's really working, but it could be worth a try for you. (Always check with your vet about adding supplements to your dog's diet, of course!)
