Just because you love your dog doesn’t mean you love the way he makes the house smell. Even worse is when you have people over and they can smell what you have become nose-blind to – your dog’s natural smells. Here are 10 ways to help reduce that Eau de Doggy in your home.
#1 – CritterZone Air Naturalizer
The CritterZone Air Naturalizer technology was developed to specifically handle the strongest of pet odors: urine, feces, glands, breath, gas, pet food, crates and more. Unlike air purification, the Air Naturalization Process is an innovative technology designed to mimic the natural air-cleaning process that happens outdoors between the sun and odor pollutants. CritterZone Air Naturalizers provides indoor air with same the energy the sun provides outdoor air with to clean itself. No filters to just “catch” stuff in the air.
#2 – Baking Soda and Vinegar
This dynamite duo is completely safe for your pets (and you!) and the baking soda is great at absorbing odors. You can also leave baking soda boxes open in areas that are more stinking (by the crate perhaps). And, wash those dog beds and towels with either one to get rid of those smells. Want more? Go here.
#3 – Deodorizing Touch-up Spray
No matter how nice the house smells, if the dog is stinky, the whole will be smelly again soon. Prevent that using Organic Oscar’s NEW Deodorizing Touch-Up Spray. It’s formulated with an exclusive ingredient that helps neutralize odors and grapefruit essential oil for a fresh scent.
#4 – Moso Natural Air Purifying Bags
Made from bamboo charcoal, these little are all-natural, non-toxic, and full of tiny crevices that actually trap odor-causing particles out of the air, including smoke, pets, mildew, airborne bacteria and allergens.
#5 – Sunshine Serum
This is an excellent deodorizer and detangler. It contains natural essential oils to help combat “doggy odor” and is is 100% natural! Just rub it into your hands and work it through the fur. The oils get absorbed into the fur which helps soften it and gives it a brilliant shine as well.
#6 – BuddyRest Beds
Dog beds are one of the biggest sources of “smells” in your home. BuddyRest beds are waterproof, chew-resistant, stay clean and antibacterial. Made in the USA from real memory foam, they are covered with Crypton® Smart Fabric, which has been tested to “never smell” and inhibits bacterial growth. In fact, they claim you only have to wash this bed twice a year! You can get 20% off by using code: ILOVEDOGS20
#7 – Hydrogen-peroxide and Baking Soda
This is another great DIY Cleaning mixture that is safe and effective. Use this on stains your pet makes on the carpet, including potty accidents. It will break down the stain, pull it out, and remove the odor. Click here for recipe and directions.
#8 – Odor-Absorbing Sniffers
These cute little pups are perfect for inconspicuously reducing smells in your home. They are filled with Zeolite, a natural odor-absorbing mineral that also reduces bacterial related to moisture and mildew.
#9 – Method Air Fresheners
After cleaning, refresh the air with one of Method’s sprays. These planet-friendly sprays use air instead of aerosol and are vegan, cruelty-free and safe to use around pets. Not to mention they smell incredible (try the lavender for a nice, light scent).
#10 – Dublin Dog Collars
Something you may not think about is how much that collar around your dog’s neck stinks. What’s the point of bathing the dog if you are just going to stick that back on him? Instead, get a Dublin Dog dog collar. They are 100 percent waterproof, smell resistant and rinses clean in seconds. (Not to mention stylish).
