Your dog is adorable, but battling bad odors? It's a common issue with pets. Even my own dog occasionally skips the fresh scent.
Skip the pricey commercial shampoos. My veterinarian shared these two effective, natural recipes to neutralize pet odors.
Use either black soap or baking soda. Here's how simple it is:
Ingredient: Black soap
Black soap is ideal for cleaning animals without harsh chemicals. Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and add one capful of liquid black soap.
Using a glove, sponge, or soft brush, gently massage into your dog's coat.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Ingredient: Baking soda
Baking soda works wonders as a dry deodorizer for dogs—perfect for cold winter days when you want to avoid baths.
Sprinkle baking soda liberally over your dog's coat.
Gently rub it in with your hands to distribute evenly and let it penetrate the fur.
Brush out the excess once applied.
Your dog's bad odors are gone! These natural, budget-friendly recipes deliver fresh scent for days.
They're suitable for all pets, from dogs to horses. Black soap cleans nails and hooves, while baking soda helps repel parasites.
Avoid getting baking soda in eyes, ears, or mouth. Skip open wounds too.
