1. Air it out: Take the animal outside or to a well-ventilated area to air out the fur. This can help to dissipate the burnt smell.
2. Baking Soda: Sprinkle baking soda onto the affected areas of the fur and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Baking soda is a natural deodorizer that can help to absorb the burnt smell. Afterward, brush or comb the baking soda out of the fur.
3. Vinegar and Water: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture onto the affected areas of the fur and let it sit for several minutes before rinsing with clean water. Vinegar is another natural deodorizer that can help to neutralize the burnt smell.
4. Use a Pet Deodorizing Spray: You can also use a commercial pet deodorizing spray to help remove the burnt smell. Follow the instructions on the product label when using.
5. Oatmeal Bath: Oatmeal has soothing and deodorizing properties that can help to remove the burnt smell and also moisturize the fur. Grind rolled oats into a fine powder and add it to warm water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the affected areas of the fur, massage it in, and let it sit for about 15 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
6. Professional Grooming: If the burnt smell persists or if you're uncomfortable with trying the above methods yourself, you can take the animal to a professional groomer. They have the experience and tools to safely and effectively remove the burnt smell from the animal's fur.
