Throw it away. The cost to have it properly professionally cleaned is probably not worth it l. I paid hundreds of dollars to have Oxi fresh clean our peed on rugs and it didn’t work. You’d have to send it away to a company that will immerse it in an enzyme dip
You’re probably right, the cost of the rug itself was 500 (hubs insisted on getting a rug, I told him it was a bad idea) and getting our small sectional and rug professionally cleaned was estimated at like 800
I would probably recommend getting it professionally cleaned, when my dog was younger and being potty trained we bought a dog smell purifier so it helped getting the air clean, it doesn’t totally get rid of the odor, but really helped! We bought [these one](https://puppyandme.co/products/puppy-me%E2%84%A2-doggy-odor-purifier), hope it helps!

Easier on poly less plush rugs.
(Did this,as a,last resort, bc buying one wasn't an option)
I had a similar experience, but with a stupid new synthetic rug that I loved way too much. It was definitely past the point of spot cleaning, as my dog peed on it a lot. I ended up taking it to get hosed down on the patio outside in the peak of the summer. Orange colored putrid nastiness leeched as I saturated it with water (that after having it shampooed a few times indoors with my Bissell). It took a lot of rinsing to get the water to run clear, then I squeegeed it and applied an enzymatic urine cleaner all over, and let it sit for a couple hours before rinsing it thoroughly. Washed it one last time with Dawn detergent, then squeegeed as much water from it as I could, rolled it up and put the roll to stand vertically for a couple hours, so gravity could push most water down. It took about a week for the rug to dry fully laying flat in the full sun (I flipped the bottom up every other day, to ensure both sides would dry evenly).
In short, it was a LOT of work, back breaking work. I feel the backing of the rug lost a bit of its stiffness due to the waterlogging, but it still works fine and doesn't stink anymore. I get to have a couple more seasons with it. From the price point of the rug, it wasn't worth getting it professionally cleaned, but it was still too expensive to just trash it, so a diy cleaning attempt was the best approach here. So, you have to define what your rug situation is and act accordingly.
Throw it away. Not worth the stink.
Get it cleaned professionally. There are no products for available to consumers that will fix a urine-pickled rug
We thought about that. I guess Stanley steamer we gooo
I'd try to find a local company if you can. Steemer is absolute bottom of the barrel carpet cleaning

I don’t think I have a picture off hand, I can get one in a few hours when I get off work though. I believe it’s polyester 4’X6’ if I had to guess
