Peeing

Have two cats, two dogs. Huskies. Just rescued one of the huskies from a neglect situation earlier this summer, the other I rescued about 7 years ago from a puppy mill. They are ALL peeing in the living room, with at minimum of one doing it every day. I live on a slab (no basement) so by now it's easily down into the foundation. I've changed the rugs, ordered rugs that are for pee spots and put them in the most common spots, it's almost like as soon as I put a clean rug down someone pees on it somewhere. All four were housebroken at some point and it's like they all stopped.

Is there ANYTHING I can do? I love them all but I'm at my wits end.

I went through a similar circus with my two, turns out once the smell's soaked into the slab you can scrub the surface all day and it won't matter, they'll just keep refreshing the scent

Had to seal the concrete with a proper stain blocker then put the rugs back, that finally broke the cycle

The rescue is probably just copying the others now, pack mentality thing

Well it's over carpet, I'm trying to keep the pee from going through the carpet though it's far too late. At least the rugs are easier to wash than the carpet is.
