Anyway my dog is refusing the cleaned beds now. He goes to the spots, sniffs them and walks away then retreats to his third preference or lays on the floor (if not on the sofa to be near me).
Do I need to get new beds now that do not have the detergent smell or is this fixable?? (I tried putting my clothes or one of his blankets with his smell on it over the beds... he just removed them, sniffed the beds underneath and walked away). |
You could wait for a warm, sunny day and set them outside to air for a few hours. That would probably get rid of most of the detergent smell.
