You don't HAVE to stitch the edge, it just keeps it from fraying, however.....maybe try this...

as far as what to use to get the smell out, there is a product that you can buy at walmart or any sporting goods store. It is called Hunters Specialties SCENT-A-WAY it is a laundry detergant that really works! If you don't get 100% of the smell out they will just go right back to it and pee on it again!
