The only way I can see you fixing this is to use a dog urine neutralising agent, one of the ones that are enzyme based as they don't contain harsh chemicals. There are plenty on Amazon, the enzymes break down urine crystals. Prepare a LARGE bag of rice in a container that can be made airtight, spray a generous amount on the affected area, on a DISCONNECTED rift wait for a few seconds and place in the rice immediately. Close the container. Do not take out for at least 3-4 days. The rice will extract any moisture out of the headset including the dissolved urine crystals and lock it up.
This will void your warranty and can potentially break your rift so at your own risk.

Bloody hell, I think I'd bite the bullet and buy a new one rather than having even the possibility of dog wee anywhere near my mush 😮

I've been looking at all sorts of cleaning options... dry-cleaning... dry-ice cleaning... I can't find anything that wouldn't either put the lenses or the electronics at risk.
Try a masking agent first but if I was in your position I think I'd take Snowdog's & SimonNQ's advice and look at a replacement. Pet urine seems to be one of those substances that doesn't really go away.
Having said that, if you do decide on a replacement, I guess there's nothing to lose from looking at some teardown info, dismantling the thing and going industrial with the cleaning.
