To get rid of dog smell be sure to wash your dog often and also wash the dogs bedding, clean pet toys and items, use enzyme based cleaner and wash carpets and use an air purifier.

Also use scents and vacuum often and mop and broom sweep hard floors to get rid of dog dander.

You can wash your dog once a week if the dog needs it.

Although most dogs only need a bath every few weeks or once a month it's okay to bathe the dog once a week if needed.

Dogs do really need baths although not as often as humans.

Dogs still get dirty and need to be cleaned but giving the dog a bath too often can damage their fur and dry their skin out.

Giving your dog a bath regularly and bathing them helps with shedding and also helps remove dead hair which can intertwine with healthy hair.

Dogs need a bath every 21 days to 30 days.

Long-hair dog breeds often shed during the spring season and sometimes require more baths to remove dead coat layers.

Most dog experts recommend bathing your dog every 21 to 30 days to promote a healthy coat and aid shedding.

Shedding in dogs is perfectly normal unless the dog is suddenly shedding too much of it's fur.

Dogs shed seasonally although most shedding of dogs occurs in the fall and spring.

During the spring months the dogs fur coat becomes lighter in preparation for warm water.

And in fall the dogs fur coat becomes thicker in preparation for winter.

Some things you can do to get your dog to stop shedding so much are.

Brush Your Dog often.
Give your dog a Fatty Acid Supplement. ...
Cover Your Furniture and Car Seats.
Use allergy and Flea Control. ...
Vacuum Often.
Bathe Your Dog Occasionally During the Summer.
Use the Right Brush.

Allergies, diet, and stress are all factors that may lead a dog to shed more heavily than what is considered usual for their breed.

Shedding season for a pup can last for 2-4 weeks but you can make it.

While dog shedding may not be so enjoyable, there is a lot about Fall to enjoy.

Some of the best dog foods that are good for keeping your dogs coat healthy and prevent them from shedding so much include.

Crave High Protein Dry Dog Food – Best Value.

Dogs will always naturally shed their coats but you can stop the dog from shedding as much by using Olive Oil.

Just add a tablespoon of Olive Oil to the dogs food everyday and the Olive Oil will slow down the dogs shedding of it's coat since the Olive Oil contains omega-3 fatty acids which helps to condition the dogs skin and coat which helps to prevent the shedding.

You can also buy a suit you put on your dog that will help contain the fur that the dog is shedding.

There's also some natural medicine that you can buy at Pet stores that contain Salmon Oil which when the dog takes the medicine it will help the dogs coat as well and prevent the dog from losing as much hair.
