The first thing we do for the smell is keep the cat box under contrl. There is a big difference in the effectiveness of cat liter brands on odor control. We have two cats, and the only one I have found that works well to control litter is Scoop Away... I buy it in the huge size at Costco. The second thing is that the litter box needs to be screened at least every other day with new litter added. This job belongs to my two oldest. We went through a lot of different systems of taking turns (I did it last, no I did it last) befoer I finally just decided to go by the month. It is really easy to know whose job it is when they have the job for the whole month. If I notice a smell as I go up the stairs I immediately set someone to work.
As for the dog, she usually doesn't carry an odor as she is very short haired.
I do have a reed difuser right inside my front door, so the first scent (the one that is going to be noticed0 is always that one.
