7. Does your dog smell bad?
Most dogs have that “dog smell” to them, especially when the come in out of the rain. However, some dogs tend to stink more than others.
Some dogs like to roll in the dirt… and any other smelly item that may be near by. If your dog is prone to doing this then regular brushing, grooming and bathing will help to keep your dog smelling clean and fresh.
Getting sprayed by a skunk is one smell we humans recognize immediately and tomato juice is the most common remedy. However, in order for it to work properly, you need to allow the juice to sit on the dog’s fur for at least 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing. It is the acid in the tomatoes that cuts the smell. Another very popular solution that dog owners swear by is to mix 1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, 1/4 cup Baking Soda, and 2 tablespoons dish detergent in a large bowl (do not use a sealed container as this mixture will explode). You must use this immediately while it is still foaming as it is the oxygen in the bubbling mixture that removes the skunk odor. Be careful not to get either solution in your pet’s eyes.
To make dog fur soft, shiny and get rid of "wet dog smell" I use on my own dogs next solution: 1 tb spoon of white vinegar and 1 tb spoon of vodka (alcohol) mixed with 1 pint of water. Get wash cloth wet in this solution and rub your dog.
Also rub the dog with baby wipes to get out any dirt and grime, espessially between wrinkles. Choose unscented wipes made for sensitive skin. This helps a dog smell better when a curious dog comes home after a day of exploring messy things.
