How to remove doggie odor

By Jerry Welsh


Dog owners will be exposed to the less than appealing smell of the dog. Dog owners exposed to the unique smell of the dog would know that there is a reason for the somewhat derogatory "you smell like a dog" phrase. A pet owner has to live with the one of a kind smell that is used by the dog to identify each other as this kind of smell cannot be removed. Pet owners are often heard complaining about the smell of the dog. With all the benefits you get from being a dog owner do you really think it is just to complain about the unpleasant odor of the pet?

Man loves dogs as these animals have provided their owners with affection and loyalty. A pet dog can listen to your troubles and would provide you with unconditional love. Would you still want to cuddle and kiss a pet if the unpleasant smell will linger in your clothes? Don't you worry, there are simple ways by which you can change the unpleasant smell of the dog.

Filthy dogs are expected to have repulsive smells. Being a dog owner you would know that the pet enjoys rolling in rotting animals, swimming in stagnant water and raiding trash cans to eat spoiled food. A very dirty and smelly dog would need to be bathed to remove the stench. Use warm water and shampoos specially formulated for pets.

Thorough rinsing and drying is important. A coat that is allowed to stay damp would be a rich breeding ground for bad smell-causing bacteria. Dog experts do not recommend too frequent bathing as it removes the natural oils and dries up the skin of the dog. In between bathing, you can use dog powder to freshen the smell of the dog.

Dogs have the tendency to wander and to roll on anything so that rotting frogs or dried up feces of other animals can get stuck to the fur and be the cause for the dog's repulsive smell. Regular grooming is one good way of removing dog odor. Brush the coat regularly and trim the hair on the dog's anal area. The dog odor can be associated with medical reasons that is outside the dog owner's ability to control. Ear infections, bad breath, impacted anal glands and skin infections can be the reasons why the dog is stinky.
