Smelly dog – Nothing is worse than having your lovely house pet being smelly?!  Even though I have been able to heal my dog of his skin problems he still gets that doggy smelly after a few days (Check out “How the Dog Licked His Skin Problem” ) When that happens out comes the baking soda (baking powder). Yes that’s right baking soda! No I am not going to starting making a cake in the hope that the smell of the cake cooking will over power the dog smell.

I sprinkle his coat with a small amount baking soda, use my hands to rub the powder into his hair then give him a good brushing. This is a good stand by if you do not have the time to bath your pet or your pet is a bit smelly and you have friends coming over, and don’t want to be embarrassed with a smelly dog.   Sprinkling baking soda over your dog before his regular brushing and a number of things will happen: it helps to keep him clean, gets the coat beautifully shiny, reduces smelly dog odour and reduces fleas.

Also before you wash your pet – every 2^nd or 3 rd wash sprinkle them with baking soda before the wash. This will get rid of any fleas and gets their coat really clean. Their coat becomes squeeze clean and very shiny.

Next time you are making a cake leave out the baking soda and wash your pet bedding, scarves or warmers in a cup of baking soda dissolved in 2 liters of water. Allow to soak.  Once dry you should have no smell to contend with.   

Now you can combine cooking and washing your pet.  Have fun and enjoy the company of your pet they’ll love it and so will you.
