We all love spending time with our dogs, but sometimes their smell isn’t the best. While a dog’s natural odor isn’t always associated with poor hygiene, the odor can become more noticeable after an afternoon of playing in the sun or an impromptu dip in a puddle. When your best friend’s scent is stronger than you thought, there are a few tricks you can implement using ingredients found in every home.
First, you must understand that bathing your dog too frequently can be counterproductive. By doing this, you may be removing essential oils that protect your skin. Sometimes, a bad odor can be caused by an underlying problem, such as bacterial buildup, excessive sweating, or even certain infections.
baking soda and cornstarch: Make a mixture of two tablespoons of baking soda and one tablespoon of cornstarch (adjust amounts based on the size of your dog). After giving his coat a good brushing and cleaning, sprinkle the mixture over his body and massage it. Leave on for about 30 minutes and finally brush again to remove residue. It’s best to do this in an enclosed area so you don’t leave dust throughout the house.
White vinegar: Your new ally! Mix one part white vinegar to two parts water in a spray bottle and apply to your dog. Not only does this solution neutralize your pet’s odor, it can also be used to freshen their bed or toys.
Baby wipes: These wipes are a quick and practical solution. Just apply one to your dog’s coat and enjoy an instant feeling of freshness.
Of course, prevention is always the best solution. Maintain regular bathing based on your dog’s breed needs and your veterinarian’s recommendations. Additionally, regular brushing not only helps keep your coat shiny but also reduces odor.
