 How to get rid of dog odor

Introduction

Dogs are great. Unfortunately, sometimes dogs smell less than great. Even the best-behaved pups get a little stinky from time to time, whether it's from rolling in something smelly or just plain old bad dog breath. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can take your dog from smelling like a smelly dog to smelling like a wonderful pet. In this article we'll explore some of the best tools and techniques for getting rid of that doggo odor in your home, on your furniture, and even around the yard. We'll also give you some suggestions on how to keep odors at bay so your dog smells as fresh as possible all day every day!

Vacuum!

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a pet attachment.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a pet odor filter.

• Use a vacuum cleaner with a microfiber filter.

How to Get Rid of Dog Odor Outside

To get rid of dog odor on the lawn, you’ll need to use a hose. A garden hose is best, as it will allow you to spray the area directly and remove some of the urine that has seeped in through the grass into the soil below.

Simply fill up your water tank with water and turn on your sprinkler system. This will help not only remove stains and odors from any concrete areas but also wash away any left over debris on top of them in one fell swoop!

Let in fresh air

Letting in fresh air will help rid your home of dog odor. Open windows and doors to let out the stale air and bring in some fresh air. If you have a window fan, use it to circulate the air inside your house.

If that isn't enough, you can use an air freshener or humidifier to freshen up the scent in your home. Air fresheners come in many different scents (or lack thereof) so take some time to find one that works best for you!

Humidifiers add moisture back into your home's dry atmosphere which will help reduce static electricity and improve indoor comfort levels as well as reduce dust build-up on furniture surfaces around your home (plus they smell great!)

Vaporizers are another way of adding moisture back into a dry house environment without having to use an actual humidifier which may be too much work depending on how much water needs added daily."

How to Get Rid of Dog Odor in the House

You can also use a pet odor neutralizer. These are usually sprays or liquids that you wipe over surfaces to remove odors and/or bacteria. These products often have an added fragrance, which may or may not appeal to you personally but at least the smell of your dog will be gone!

If none of these methods work for you and you want something more powerful, try using a pet odor remover instead. Pet odor removers are stronger than neutralizers because they’re designed specifically for eliminating smells rather than just covering them up temporarily with another scent. They’re also generally stronger-smelling so keep this in mind if you can’t stand strong scents!

Bath time!

• The first step to getting rid of dog odor is bathing your pup. It may sound counterintuitive, but it's the best way to get the job done.

• Use a special shampoo that's safe for dogs and won't irritate their sensitive skin. A quick internet search will give you plenty of options! Just make sure you read the package carefully before buying anything so you can be sure it works with your pet's coat type.

• Bathe them in lukewarm water, being careful not to let them get too hot or cold (or else they might get sunburned). If necessary, use a blow dryer on low setting until all excess moisture has been absorbed by towels or paper towels (which should also be used during this process). You may need help from another person if your dog is large or uncooperative; also consider having someone hold down their head while washing so they don't accidentally bite anyone!

Keep dog bedding clean.

You can remove pet odor from your dog's bedding by washing it regularly. You can also use a pet odor neutralizer to help get rid of the smell. Just make sure you don't use any fabric softener, bleach, vinegar or baking soda when washing or drying your dog's bedding--they'll only make matters worse! If you want to go the extra mile and keep your home smelling fresh, try using febreze in combination with other steps listed above.

Use a pet odor neutralizer.

If your pet has a persistent odor, try using a pet odor neutralizer. There are many different types of odor neutralizers available on the market today. Some are available in spray bottles, some come in powder form and others as tablets that you can place in your washing machine. All of them work by breaking down the chemical compounds that cause the unpleasant smell.

• Wash his paws and belly—but not all over. If you think he's just been rolling around in something gross and needs a bath, use warm water and soap to wash his paws and his belly (and the area between where his foot connects with his body). Skip washing him all over; if you've got time to do this, it means you probably don't need to bathe him!

• Brush out mats. If there are mats or knots on your pup's undercoat that cannot be combed out by hand, use a mat splitter that will cut through them without hurting your furry friend at all. They come in both manual styles as well as battery-operated ones for times when it's hard to get away from home for long enough for an old-fashioned trimming session (those of us who have dogs know what I mean!).
