Vinegar and a scrub brush. If that doesn't work, use bleach (Clorox Cleanup) and a scrub brush. But the vinegar should work fine.

The problem with grout is it's porous so if it is not sealed, any liquid will seep into it and maybe even get into the voids under the tile. My suggestion is go to a pet store (PetsMart, etc) and get a product called UrineGone, or some such. It's a liquid enzyme product that breaks down the urine into simpler compounds. That kills the odor, doesn't provide a medium to grow germs and will also track into the grout/under the tile the same way your dog pee did. That ensures all the urine gets treated- important to keep odors from coming back. Good luck!

If your grout is sealed/treated you are in luck. You can use any of the pet odor cleaners or scrub the tiles/grout with baking soda.

If your grout isn't sealed then the grout has probably absorbed the chemicals and will bond with them over time.

Either way, keep the floors clean as possible and work on preventative measures with your pet :)

I'm going through the same with an animal on Chemo who is otherwise healthy but gets bouts of peeing on floors and i made darn sure i sealed my grout again anyway because of previous experiences that cost me $$$

Peroxcide and baking soda can help. Get a wetvac to pull up the fizzing solution after you let it soak for about 5 mins. I would do it about 3 times and see what odor is left.
Then apply a sealant to the grout to protect it.

DON'T put bleach or peroxide on your tile!!! That's insane. Just clean it slowly with something that smells good. Let the soap soak in a bit. After it dries completely, you could try a spray product that's supposed to neutralize pet oders in carpet, etc... Let that soak in and dry. Too much scrubbing isn't good for anything. Baking soda may be hard to completely remove from the grout and leave white spots / marks. Your goal is to get your cleaner / neutralizer in DEEP without scrubbing too much.

I have found grout-sealers to vary *wildly* in their quality. I've seen grout get stained within a few months of being installed (new) and sealed. So yes it's completely plausible.

Make a thick paste using bicarbonate of soda and water and spread it on the grout, it should absorb the smell.

Hydrogen peroxide works great. It can even get cat urine smell from carpet.

Ammonia takes out pet urine smells.
