Natural, Green Odor Control for Dogs, for use in a Program of Veterinary and Pet Care
Many dog owners, typically have a difficult time reconciling themselves with their dog: they love them, but hate the fleas and especially that "doggie" odor. Very typically, the dog owner becomes so inured to the odor, that often they will not even notice it, until they're in the process of trying to sell their home. And even then, when the realtor suggests that they do something dramatic to kill the dog odor, but owners generally are surprised that anyone would even notice the smell.
If this is a typical experience you've had with friends, then take heart, there are some approaches with respect to combating dog odor that can be beneficial.
The Causes of Dog Odor
There are a host of reasons and circumstances that contribute to dog odor and many have much to do with typical dog behavior. The most often mentioned one is the fact that typically dogs roll around in the dirt and on the grass. This is a natural instinctive behavior resulting from the canine need to mask their scent from prey. Dogs, as we know, were originally domesticated from wolves.
There are other factors that contribute to an unpleasant "dog odor":
- Diet
- Outdoor activity
- Weather conditions
- Overall cleanliness
Dietary Approaches
There is a great deal of truth in the saying, "You are what you eat" One of the most obvious things that helps in controlling odor, to an extent, is providing a dog the best food that is available. Many of the common commercially available dog foods found in supermarkets are made of animal byproducts that most owners would be shocked at.
Poor food quality will definitely contribute to dog odor. There are many excellent dog foods formulated from organic and plant based proteins that will help to combat this problem. Additionally, using natural or green products is always the best way to approach most home/pet problems. Also, there are additives that will help a dog with general hygiene and enhance overall health. This normally will translates into decreasing dog odor.
Outdoor Activity Contributes to Dog Odor
When dogs run around outdoors, their skin excretes an oil that helps to keep the skin and fur supple and resist the elements. If your dog is basically a small lap dog, probably most owners usually restrict outside activity, but the dog's body and skin will still excrete a certain amount of oil into the fur. In any event, the oil/weather/activity combination that may be coupled with dirt will obviously contribute to dog odor.
Cleanliness
One of the first lines of defense is to bathe the dog. First, a dog owner will need to have the right shampoo. It is advisable to never use human shampoo on a dog. A dog's skin requires a shampoo with a higher PH than does a human. PH is a measure of the alkalinity/acidity of liquids. Good quality dog shampoos will typically have a neutral PH of about 7.5.
Shampoos that are designed for human usage would require a much lower PH shampoo; well below 6.5. The more acidic (PH <7.0) human shampoo drys out a dog's fur causing your pet to scratch frequently. Also, if a dog is bathed too frequently, even with a good, organic dog shampoo, the resulting dryness will contribute to the odor problem, as well. One should consult a veterinarian, but bathing more than twice a month for a dog is unnecessary, at best and does the dog a disservice, at worst. So the bottom line is to bathe the dog with a dog shampoo, but not too frequently.
If Pet Odor Persists, Other Natural Approaches for a Dog
There are commercially available natural, green dog shampoos that have a neutral pH, and will kill dog odor. The best are made from essential oils, like orange oil, lemon or grapefruit. These will chemically alter the oil in a dogs fur, neutralizing the unpleasant odors.
Of course, as the dog's skin continuously excretes the oil, this will be a continuing process. Additionally, there are sprays that contain some of the essential oils, as well. After spraying, the dog odor will dissipate for one to two days or so, but the dog can be re-sprayed with the above mentioned products, whenever the odor returns. When it comes time for a bath, merely repeat the process. The combination of steps as mentioned above, can radically eliminate most, if not all of your dog odor issues.
