we have just taken delivery of a new van and hopefully next year will travel full time and with our dog of course,anyone have any ideas about keeping doggy smell in van to a minimum?he is abt 24kgs and does sleep inside obviously and we bath him regular, hoping there is a magic odour eater we don know about.
One product our Vet advised to use to mask the doggy smells and reduce the need for bathing the dog whilst on the road is Pet Plus Lustre Aid Cologne.
It is a coat conditioner, cologne and deodorant spray. It is a greaseless spray containing absorbable Lanolin. It has a pleasant scent that last for quite a while and does give a lustre to the coat.
Yes we have used Lustre Aid as well. Without saying, its easier if the dogs don't shed - which is why we chose poodles. We also make sure we have washable floor mats and bed throws to keep carpet and beds/lounges fresh. I found it useful to give the dogs (2) bones regularly- we use chicken wings/drumsticks. This keeps their anal glands healthy which keeps those odours at bay. In addition, for one of ours who is prone to ear infections, I keep his ears plucked and clean.
Bad breath in dogs is an indicator of an underlying health problem, usually dental hygiene, a trip to the vet will help identify and possibly eliminate the problem. Check this link
