Dogs and Rain - How to Get Rid of Wet Dog Smell?

Dog lovers would tell you that they have taken a dog for a pet for the companionship, love and fun the pet provides.
A dog would be a big responsibility, a commitment that would last for the lifetime of the pet.
Dog owners are aware that dogs bark and that they may have an accident inside the house once in a while.
Dogs need to be taken out for a walk in the park and that having a dog for a pet would cost money.
Dogs would need to be regularly groomed too.
Grooming is not only for aesthetic purposes but also for the health of the dog.
Responsible owners make sure that the dogs hair and teeth are regularly brushed, nails are clipped and ears are cleaned.
Pampered dogs are allowed to share not only the home but even the beds of the master.
For this reason, the pet is regularly groomed.
However, a dogs abhorrent smell can be an owners dilemma, one that often puts a dog lover into a sticky situation.
You certainly would not want to be branded an irresponsible owner but people would think that you are one if your car, your home and especially your pet is reeking of wet dog smell.
Spritzing the car and the home with the favorite perfume or liberally spraying the surroundings with air freshener will only be a quick fix that will mask the wet dog smell.
After the floral or the citrus scent is gone the wet dog odor will again fill the air.
  Wet dog smell is often caused by the build up of bacteria on the dogs fur.
This would result if the dogs fur is not thoroughly dried.
Dogs are naturally active creatures.
Some dogs would hate to be bathed but they would not pass the chance to wallow in muddy and smelly puddles.
The stinking smell of the water will cling to the dogs fur.
The foul odor will worsen if the dog has decided to unearth its rotten "treasures".
The musty smell of the dog can be due to bad breath or due to the over production of sebum on the surface of the skin that would arise if the dog had an allergic reaction that inflamed the skin.
  Obviously, the best solution to remove the stinking odor is to bathe the dog.
Warm water and a nice smelling dog shampoo would eliminate the wet dog smell.
This is important: make sure to dry the fur thoroughly.
Some experts believe that a towel should not be used as the odor will stay on the fur and after a day or two the wet dog smell will again permeate the home.
A hair dryer is recommended as will thoroughly dry the coat all the way to the skin and eliminate the bad odor causing bacteria.
