In my experience, if it is "light" contamination (just a few spots that didn't penetrate carpet backing), then Hydrox is a suitable option for odor and stains. Adding an odorcide is also a good idea.
However, for any situations where the urine has penetrated the backing and gotten into the pad (or beyond), then in my opinion, you have to flush. I use something that neutralizes alkaline urine salts, flush heavily, then inject a bio-enzyme past the backing. This scenario is one of the reasons I own a porty.
If the urine has penetrated the sub-floor, then you really have a serious restoration issue at hand.
