How to Control dog odor and smells in your car

There are several steps you can take to reduce or eliminate smells from dogs frequently riding in your vehicle

Arm & Hammer now makes “flow through” baking soda containers that are unspillable. Keeping 3 or 4 of these under your seats is a great way to neutralize, rather than just cover, dog odors.

Check with local car detail shops to see if you can bring your car in for a shampoo only. In some areas, car detailing is a occupational therapy job for developmentally disabled people and may have discounted rates. I get my suv interior shampooed for $15 every other month or so.

Covering the area where the dog sits can really help, and cleaning the area is as simple as washing the blanket.

If you really want to control the odor in your car, you should treat your dog, not the car. Make sure your dog is clean, on good food, and use a naturally deodorizing supplement if needed.
