Does your house smell of dog? if so are u ok with it?

« My dog is seriously freaking out.. Advice/help please?

Sorry to ask, but i get the sense from some people that is ok and i should get used to the smell of dog.

i havent had a dog since i was a kid,but i had and heve cats, rabbits and all sorts of animals.

I am sure my house never smells like animals,i wash all surfaces in the morning and in the evening and i wash their blankets and beds every 2 days.

A I being to anal? or should i just get used to smells?

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment with 4 dogs and 4 cats and 4 foster cats— we are neat freaks. When my dogs are put up in their kennels and the cats are hiding- no one would even know we had any pets! and that is the way I am going to keep it!!!

this made me think of something, a girl I worked with lived in a one bed room apartment with 5 dogs 6 cats, 2 birds, a huge spider, a chicken and 3 ducks… I am not kidding.

one day she asked me to go feed her animals for her while she went out of town- honestly, my partner and i walked in her home and got sick, it was the most horrifying thing in the world.

we obviously turned her in, but from then on i always make sure my house is clean with no traces of animals except for a scratch post and a basket of dog toys!! Having lived with any number of Bassets for 36 years ………… I know there are times when it’s pretty obvious they are in residence, although I have it on authority that most of the time it doesn’t smell that bad!! I have rented for a number of years too, so I’m paranoid about any smell they might be making. However, every house smells of something – and I personally find the smell of smoke in a house far worse.

It is possible to live with dogs and not be knocked back by their smell, but it takes effort – and removing carpets and washing their bedding regularly does help.

I guess it’s just a case of love me, love my dogs………..I don’t think you’re being anal because you don’t want your house smelling!

I don’t think your house will smell at all if you are washing surfaces twice a day and bedding every two days. I can pretty much assure you that no-one else will think your house smells with all the cleaning you do!

However, dogs do smell and I think you are more aware of the smell because you are not used to having a dog around. You will get used to it though

Well if you clean your out often it will help, and you may not notice the dog smell because you get use to it. Others may smell it if they don’t own pets or a dogs. Just make share you wash your dog when you notice it starting to smell or even once a month and keep your house clean, air fresh plugs in and sprays etc.. also help.I am paranoid about dog smell. I wash all my bedding and the dog beds once a week and the dogs are bathed often enough that they don’t smell doggy. I vacuum every other day and use Febreze for Pet Odor like it’s going out of style. My apartment doesn’t smell like dog, but it does smell like cat litter box. I can not seem to conquer that one. well, most of the people think they house doesn’t have particular smell coz they are used to it and not even knowing. u r maybe not aware of it…

but , i have a basset, and she has days when she has her smell, and sometimes she doesn’t smell at all.but all i know that she is healthy and clean. dog smell is dog smell, and THERE IS NOTHING U CAN DOno your not being anal at all! i have quite a few pets at home, and our house doesn’t smell of them! it sounds like your keeping on top of things so you don’t need to worry. obviously if you don’t clean, the house would smell and i defiantly couldn’t live with that lol!

i have meet people in the past who have pets and never do any housework, and believe me their place smelt worse than a zoo!!My dog gets a bath and once a month and her bedding washed monthly. My house doesn’t smell like dog.

If your house is smelling like dog, you need to find the reason…your dog could be ill and needs a vet or has bad skin and coat and in that case you need to change your dog’s food to promote a healthy coat and healthy skin.

i have a puppie and if im in the house all day or long periods i dont tend to smell it but if i go out soon as i come in smell of dog just hits you in the face and yet dont matter how much i scrub or clean it just comes back i have all them odur neutrilisers and nice smelling floor cleaners but nothing works or nothing lasts anyway. i hate the smelli use plug in air fresheners, wash floors daily and wash bedding weekly and i cannot smell dog and noone has ever said my house smells like dog but once when talking to an online friend she said its cos your immune to your own dogs smell and all houses that have dog smell like dog, but i beg to differI don’t think mine smell like the cats or dogs. But maybe I am used to it…although no one has eveer mentioned anything. Though everyone that comes over are animal people…so maybe they don’t notice it either.My apartment smells clean.I have 3 dogs and my house doesn’t smell of them…I hope…now you have got me paranoidYeah, I don’t care about it, ahhhh take in a whiff of that, fresh dog, straight from outdoors.to other people my house probably stinks, but i dont notice a smell.
