My skin kids definitely smelled after playing outside and I always said they smelled like a dog when they came in. That was before i even had a dog! Maggie gets that smell sometimes too..not sure what it is from but it does fade.
She got her Advantix on yesterday and is due for a bath. It is killing me that I have to wait another day to bathe her! Luckily she doesn't smell bad, she just doesn't smell good, and the Advantix makes her looks a little greasy in the area I applied it.
Normal bath is weekly to 10 days.
It is the UV rays that take the smell away in the sun. They kill the bacteria. I once had to remove all the carpet padding from my minivan due to an ongoing leak that I didn't know about. (THAT was a chore). I couldn't get the smell out so I finally took it out in pieces and laid it in the sun. It actually did work. I guess it killed the microscopic mold or whatever. I guess dog walks in the sun should help sanitize our babies too! |
