In general for both dogs and cats, good quality food can reduce body smell a lot. Grain free, with the proper protein amount and what not.
It is amazing how much their skin and coat rely on the food they eat, but since that is a major player in their ability to survive their environments, it makes sense that it needs the right nutrients. |

We have 4 dogs, and in general, the 3 dont really smell. my female pit though... she can get some bad BO if/when its hot out and comes inside. Food is prob the biggest thing to make sure they dont smell. On top of that my dogs get a both once a month. so that prob helps too. |

How often do you wash/groom your dog?

Clean the dogs, brush outside often and shampoo regularly, bedding with washable cover, vacuum and dust.
The cover up stuff is just that covering up. When I had a pack I got rid of carpet and did oceans swims. |

our vet said to NOT use febreeze on stuff-- guess its bad for the kittahs--assuming dogs similar.
as far as smell, keep house clean, wash stuff it sleeps on, use dog beds or whatever that can be washed. we went as far as installing HVAC air exchanger to keep fresh air in house....which seems to really help in winter with stale air |

I've got 120# of German Asshole and Catahula Cunt running ricshaw through the house. No amount of washing is going to help.
"Look dad! I killed a lizard. I'm going to be right here rollin' in it." 
But the food helps. I'm putting in tile in October. |

Tear out the carpet. Three dogs in my house, hardwood floor. No dog smell.
I also wash them every other week with Mane n' Tail shampoo. |

As with any product, it is important that you always follow label instructions for use. However, should your pet accidentally come into contact with Febreze when it is still wet, we would not anticipate problems beyond mild skin irritation (which can occur with any product in animals with sensitive skin) or minor stomach upset, if it is ingested." https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/poisonous-household-products |

You probably need to clean more often. Pet dander goes everywhere. Blinds, upholstery, sheets, flooring, ducts, filters, under beds, curtains, etc.
You may be able to reduce it, but probably won't completely eliminate it. Buy a good quality $40 black light on Amazon and go around the house to find out where they have been pissing. Trust me, they have been. |
