Amy VandeWeerd Webboard User Reg: 03-14-2011 Posts: 723 Loc: South Dakota Offline	Is there any miracle products out there for wet dog smell? It has been raining/snowing solid for the last week and isn't letting up for another week plus. The smell isn't going away when they are dry either. It's in the carpet, I'm washing their beds every day and I swear I smell it in the hardwood floors Doggy perfume is not doing the trick. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing (hoping) a lot of the smell will be alleviated when things dry up and you can open the windows and air things out a bit. That always helps when my house starts to smell doggy. In the meantime, would dog baths with soap and water be out of the question? That might get some of the funk off of them. And maybe one of those baking soda carpet sprinkles would help freshen the rugs. Then cross your fingers and hope for sunshine soon! Spring can't be too far away...even in South Dakota.

(when I wash my dogs or my car it always rains ) I don't dare give her another or her fur will start falling out in clumps. I could try giving Haz another one and cross my fingers that his skin is less sensitive. Maybe his better genetics will help him out. As far as the carpet sprinkles go, I tried that one. Now my vacuum smells like vanilla, lavendar, and wet dog. lol Thanks for the advice. I will throw open my windows and pray for sunshine

(for the carpets, not the dogs....lol) also, after the dogs are dry, do you brush them? i sometimes find that wet-dog-odour can get trapped in the undercoat and brushing it out can help. Edited by Wendy Lefebvre (04/20/2011 03:24 PM) Edit reason: disclaimer on the febreeze! Don't complain....TRAIN!!!

They get ham and beef steak during training. We have been through the food issues. I'm fairly confidentthat it isn't due to diet, but thanks for mentioning it! I probably wouldn't have put the two together if I had been feeding something else. There was a smell when they were on kibble, but it didnt come from their fur Wendy, I will try to get in the undercoat better and see if that helps. Thanks!
