Life is better with dogs. Seeing their adorable faces first thing in the morning or their complete joy whenever you show them some love are incomparable. You wouldn’t have it any other way because your dog is a member of the family. But accepting that your home won’t be the same as it once was is a necessary part of dog ownership.
With any dog comes dog odour. Fortunately, there are many ways to keep your home clean and odors under control. We’ve looked at our best advice for keeping your home fresh-smelling while having dogs to get rid of any dog smells.
Carpets and rugs can smell bad due to dog hair, dirt, and other debris. The best way to keep your carpets and floors clean and get rid of those unpleasant odors is to vacuum frequently. Some dogs will shed more than others, but vacuuming your carpets at least once a week will keep them free of fur.
Tile and laminate flooring are typically easier to maintain. However, if a deep clean isn’t performed frequently, dirt and spills may accumulate. Over time any bacteria will cause nasty odours. Aim to mop your floors every one to two weeks, depending on your dog’s behavior and lifestyle. Germs can be eliminated from a pet-friendly floor cleaner without endangering your dog’s health. A natural floor cleaner like ours will work wonders without the need for toxins or irritants, unlike some chemical-based floor cleaners that may be harmful to your dog.
#1 – Get an odor-resistant bed
One location where odors can hide is in your dog’s bed. A good place to start is by investing in a bed with anti-microbial features and resistance to orders. PACK&DEN beds can be used with odor trappers to keep the scent in the pouch and out of the air in your home. Their covers are easy to clean and machine washable.
1 OdoBan Odor Eliminator and Disinfectant
This one may be a little controversial with those of you that are all-natural warriors. But I love my OdoBan.
I found it when we moved into our last house. I was looking for a solution to get rid of the smell left behind by the previous owner who smoked. OdoBan is a miracle at removing odors and disinfecting.
I use OdoBan in our laundry and spray it on our beds, furniture, and area rugs. It works and works really well.
You can find OdoBan in some Walmart and HomeDepot stores. And even my favorite online pet store, Chewy, sells OdoBan!
Or if you prefer, Amazon also carries OdoBan.
I will probably stop using it if someone tells me it is harmful to our dogs, so I welcome any scientific research on their ingredient list.

FAQ
How do I get rid of doggy smell in my house?
Hello, If your home smells like a dog, it most likely results from both the presence of your dog and the items the dog leaves behind. House soiling may be a problem that the owner is unaware of in many older, unaltered, or less house-trained dogs (and, incidentally, frequently in cats).
