Smell.....

[RileyDC]

I have been feeding Riley Primal Raw and he really doesn't ever smell.

I think Vivian may also feed raw....

I switched his food and no more smell. No joke! Now people say say my boys smell sweet or they smell like my perfume

Viv

Are you feeding your boys raw?
I'm feeding Riley Primal Raw and there are mornings, in bed when I literally hold him and breath deply in, cause he always smells sooo good!! LOL!!!!!

[viviansnickers]

Lol!!! The way you asked that was cute and funny. There are many!! Science Diet works out for many but how about:
Acana
Orijen
Fromm
Wellness
Go!!
Natures Logic
Solid Gold

Do your pups itch a lot? Treats with tons of additives and chemicals will give dogs that smell too like Dingo treats, Milkbones etc. Again....just my experience, I'm no expert

No they dont itch....and they only get a teat if they go poop where they are suppose to.

Yes ma'am!!! Full raw feeder here!! Right now we use Bravo! Raw and Bravo raw freeze dried treats. But I think feeding high quality kibble can eliminate doggy odor too. I notice even if my boys have a crappy bully stick now and then... It smells them right up! Chemicals! Ugh!!

I was feeding Ry Primal premade raw in the mornings and Acana Kibble, at night... just because I travel a lot and don't want to have to travel with the raw....but lately I have been feeding raw morning and night. He does really well on it....and absolutely Loves it. I did actually feed him the Acana kibble, tonight though.

Check out the root of the problem....if you deep clean your carpets and you still smell it, it's coming from the dogs themselves! Hopefully it's just your carpets!!

I LOVE Primal! But my Snickers has been eating it for years and finally went on strike about 2 weeks ago....had to switch! Doing great on the Bravo!

Op....really hope you figure this out....smelly house is no fun!

Yeah.... I would start with a carpet cleaning and switch to a higher end kibble... and see what happens.
Good Luck!!

If you think it is the carpet. I would get a really good Carpet Cleaner and go to Petsmart or Petco and buy the Natures Miracle Carpet Shampoo. This works really well. You may have to do it several times.

[Valenie]

Thanks for all the advice guys Im gonna go out and get a cleaner tomorrow! Wish me luck!! Ill let you guys know how it goes!

[My lil friend]

Because there are a bunch of dogs in my house,I wash the carpets about every 4 months (its time). I was a room like instructed,then I put more clean,hot water in the machine (no shampoo),rinse the carpet and this time I go over it until NO water comes up. It drys alot faster and isn't stiff with soap. I use the same shampoo on my furniture (the dogs lay there as well). In between I use the carpet sprinkle stuff,makes my vaccum smell good too.
I do have one male that just smells,doesn't matter what he eats, he just smells like a little boy that has been playing outside when he has been outside. I keep his hair short,wash his face almost everyday and he gets a bath every 4 to 6 weeks. More often if life allows.
I own my carpet cleaner,it was worth every penny spent.

[loveshay]

Is it definately the carpet? or the dogs? I know one time, I must of gotten water in Shays ear, and OH BOY, the smell was horrid..had to get ear drops. cleared it right up...no smell...Good luck hope you find something that works

[Ahis_Mama]

I have the Bissell steamer carpet cleaner vacuum. It works great. And if you can get an enzyme spray that works wonders as well. The only stink I smell in my house is my kids...Just kidding!lol When I walk into my house the only stink I smell is if my son forgot to take the trash out. My hubby tells me that he doesn't want to smell like dog.
