What you need:
Lots of paper towels/or throw away rags
Club Soda or Seltzer (alternate: cold water)
Carpet Spotter - I like Spot Shot Instant Carpet Stain Remover, available at grocery big box stores, and home centers
White Vinegar
Water
Hydrogen Peroxide
Ammonia
Pet Enzyme Cleaner
Or Your Preferred Pet Stain Cleaner to removes unpleasant pet odors
How to:
Pick up any solid waste using paper towels or lift with a dull straight edge like a plastic putty knife
Absorb all the urine and liquid you can with pads of paper towels or throw away rags. Stand on the heavy pad of towels to absorb all you can
Pour club soda or seltzer water on the spill. Don't be afraid to really pour it on. The carbonation in the soda will "bubble up" the spill so that you can blot it up
If you don't have club soda use cool water.
Treat with your favorite carpet spotter following directions on the container
If you don't have carpet spotter use 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup cool water. Spray on and continually blot
If you have staining combine 1/2 - cup hydrogen peroxide and 1- teaspoon of ammonia. Apply to the area., let sit for 30 minutes and then blot. Retreat if needed.
Warnings & Cautions:
Don't over saturate carpet. Always blot really well to remove all the accident and cleaning solution you can. If using an enzyme product, follow label directions and don't use any other product first. It will kill the live enzymes.
