MY DOGS STINK UP HOUSE!! How can i keep it smelling good?

okay so i have 2 dogs!

1. is completely house trained the other is halfway.

Going inside the house isnt a problem. my problem is that when they play outside for a long time. they come inside smelling SO disgusting! it seriously penetrates the walls! i clean up the floors. i use candels. i use that spray thing to kill the bad oder and i put some smelling pine thing spray on the dogs.

but i still have that smell in my entire home!

how can i get rid of that smell?

Update:

1. is a lab other is a cairn terrier.

sometimes their mouths smell like crap!

but i always watch them and they dont any of their crap or anything else all they do is smell around.

no they dont like rolling around in mud or water. they hate getting dirty. i give them baths maybe 2 times a month. The smell is like if it were stale. No its not their food i feed them science dog food.

dont dogs sweat? Anything i can do to get rid of the smell of my home? i have tried every single type of brand of air fresherner but the smell keeps coming back!

UGH!

    You probably need to have their anal glands expressed.

    Don't laugh...dogs have anals glands inside of their rectum which leaves their own unique scent for other dogs....When your dogs take a poop or play hard the glands could have expressed. The smell is AWFUL....

    Take the dogs to a groomer and tell them to express the glands when given a bath...

    Try that

    Out Pet Stain and Odor remover works great and it does get rid of the stain as well as the smell most products that i have found do not work as well either they leave a stain, don't get the smell out, or don't work at all but this works great. You can use it on bedding it can be put in the washer with clothes, works on carpet, flooring, even walls and has a nice smell even better than the fresh fabreeze smell that stays for at least a week. I use it on my floors just for the fresh clean smell it gives my whole house. I also had white curtains that got stained from dog urine and smelled awefull. We had washed them several times and they stayed that way one wash with the out and they were white again and no more pet smell.

    in case you have a dogs interior the dwelling house, there will be a faint odour. it is basically a reality. merely like quite a few dwelling house has it is very own 'scent'. in case you pass right into a neighbours or friends dwelling house, it ought to have its very own scent. A dogs it is regarded after & cared for, won't have a *situation* scent. a respectable weight-help plan, workout, grooming, & wellbeing-care regime will shop the dogs in tip-appropriate challenge. healthy nutrition, a solid walk daily, and a powerful brush as quickly as a week. Giving the dogs a bath too frequently could be a bad element because it is going to strip the organic shielding oils from its coat. usually vacuuming your carpet would be extra suitable than bathing the dogs too frequently. If the dogs gets grimy by using rolling in dirt or fox-poop, then by using all skill provide it a bath. yet for merely as a ordinary, it is no longer mandatory to grant a dogs a bath to any extent further than two times a 365 days. To be truthful, even a muddy dogs wont scent (sparkling dirt would not scent) and you'll be able to easily look ahead to the dirt to dry and easily brush it out. I basically tub my dogs as quickly as a 365 days, and he would not rather scent to any extent further than a typical dogs scent.

    first of all stop spraying your dogs with things to make your house smell good... there are chemicals that are not okay for your dogs to be licking off eachother/themselves. and it's also not okay because how do you know they're not getting any type of rashes.

    i don't know what they're getting into... but when my dogs run around outside for a while, they don't smell. then again they normally run around in our yard. i would check to make sure they're not getting into anything. if the smell is that bad, try wiping them off with a wet towel or something as soon as they get into the house... i would say give baths, but that would take too long to give two dogs baths everytime they go out. i mean i don't know where they are running around... but hopefully they're in a fenced yard. if they are clean up your yard like i said earlier to make sure they're not getting into anything. if they're just running wild, they shouldn't be.

    Are you sure they're not rolling themselves in some dead animal or garbage that you haven't noticed in your backyard?

    Kyra,

    You are only supposed to bathe a dog ONCE a month the MOST.

    More than that will damage the coat, dry out his skin, irritate the skin, make him extremely itchy and could become a severe skin issue.

    add:

    Did you mean SCIENCE DIET?? that food is HORRIBLE...only has BY PRODUCTS...BAD!

    Try changing their food. Some High quality dog foods are natural balance, wellness, taste of the wild, merrick, innova, etc

    Source(s): I feed them natural balance. Love it! well...they do lol Anyhow, if you change it, do it slowly. Mixing it with the old food for about 2 weeks...if not they might have stomach problems such as throwing up or diarrhea.

    What are they rolling in outside? Eliminating the source of the smell would probably solve your problem.

    Curiously, what does it smell like? Your dogs, I think, might be getting into something they shouldn't be getting in to. LIKE GARBAGE, MAYBE YOUR NEIGHBORS. I don't mean to worry you, but follow them, and find out where they go, and what they been getting in to.
