Simple Yet Effective Remedies for Stinky Dogs Author: scott williams How do we deal with stinky dogs? Here are simple remedies to cure our dog's foul odor. Why are there dogs that have a very foul odor? Even if you bathe them regularly, they still have that stinky smell in them. Sometimes dogs with bad odor lick themselves a lot, and actually pulling out their hair. They lick themselves often and their breath smells very bad after they do that. There are a lot of reasons why a dog stinks and there are also a lot of simple remedies to combat this. There are times when you even have to go to the vet just to cure and get rid of a dog’s bad odor. And of course you will spend more for this, like the vet’s fee and the medicated shampoos or soaps that will be prescribed. They say that a normal dog is odorless. When he starts to stink, it may be a malfunction of the sebaceous gland, caused by inadequate fat in the dog’s diet. Put your dog on a high fat content food and give him additional fat like chicken skin, bacon grease, butter or even a tablespoon full of vegetable oil; if you don’t have animal fat in hand. Liquid chlorophyll is a good remedy for stinky dogs. By putting a tablespoon or two of liquid chlorophyll mix with your dog’s water every day, you send the chlorophyll through their whole system. Chlorophyll has a slight mint flavor and most dogs love its taste in its water. Using liquid chlorophyll leaves the dog’s breath fresh all the time and it moves through the dog’s body and aids in digestion, cleanses the blood and helps neutralize odors that emanate from within your dog. And after it passes through your dog’s system it neutralizes the odor of your dog’s pee and poop. Another reason for the bad smell of a dog is the so called PH imbalance on the skin, in the digestive tract, the mouth or in the ears. A simple remedy for this skin imbalance is to have a vinegar rinse and ladies douches work to clear the odor. The acidity restores the PH balance. You can mix vinegar and water and bathe it to your dog and do it for few weeks. You can do the same thing with ladies douches, mix it with water and use the mixture in bathing your dog. Here’s another simple remedy for stinky dogs. In a large container, a sink or a tub; mix 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, ¼ baking soda, 1-2 tablespoons of dish soap. Now carefully sponge this over the offensive areas on the dog and be very cautious to not get any of the liquid to the dog’s eyes. Let it soak for 5 minutes or more and then rinse it off and now shampoo your dog with his regular mild shampoo and rinse again. Another good solution for the dog’s odor is to mix water with hand cream and Listerine. Mix it together in a spray bottle and spray it on your dog’s coat and rub it into their skin. The Listerine is anti bacterial and it takes away the smell, the hand cream works as a conditioner which makes the hair shiny and softens the skin. With the above mentioned remedies I am sure it will take away the foul odor of your dog. I am a dog lover for 20 years.
