How to Remove Dog Smell

Clean your dog̵7;s ears and teeth. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals notes, "Check your pet̵7;s ears and teeth, often the source of odor-causing bacteria in pets. If home maintenance and grooming prove fruitless and your dog smells consistently stinky, please consult with your veterinarian to check to see if there̵7;s an underlying cause or infection.̶1; To clean your dog̵7;s ears, begin by putting ear cleaner on a cotton ball. Fold the ear back and wipe away any earwax on the underside of the ear and lift any dirt. Don̵7;t rub the dirt into the ear. To clean your dog̵7;s teeth put specially formulated dog toothpaste on a toothbrush designed for dogs. You can find one at your local pet store. Brush the front and back teeth of your dog̵7;s mouth with the toothbrush.

Give your dog a bath on a regular basis. Shampoo designed specifically for dogs is available at your veterinarian̵7;s office or local pet store. Using a brush specifically designed for pets, brush through your dog̵7;s coat. Place your dog in a tub filled with lukewarm water. Rinse your dog with water, making sure to avoid the eyes and nose. Massage shampoo throughout body and rinse. Repeat this process if needed. Using a towel pat them down to dry them off.

Clean your carpet to remove urine and urine odor. Dogs will often have accidents on the carpet, which is not only messy, but smelly. Cleaning the accident thoroughly is the only way to remove odor. Begin by soaking up as much urine as you can. Use paper towels or newspaper. Rinse the area with clean water and soak up as much as possible. For urine already embedded into the carpet, use a wet vac to remove the stain. Lastly, apply a good carpet cleaner. The Humane Society of the United States notes, ̶0;Use a high-quality pet odor neutralizer once the area is really clean, available at pet supply stores. Be sure to read and follow the cleaner's directions for use.̶1;
