How Dog Owners Can Keep Their Home Smelling Fresh #1: Baths

I can’t count the times I’ve had dog owners complain to me about their home smelling like their dog. Whenever I hear this, I ask them “When was the last time you bathed your pet?” More than 90% of the time, the owners can’t recall the last time they bathed their dog. If this is the case if your home, stop blaming your pet and bathe them. You need to bathe your pet at least once a month. Some dog owners wash their pets almost obsessively, but a vet will tell you that this is not necessary and can actually cause dry skin. But, keep your pet clean if you want a fresh smelling home.
