This unpleasant odour can have several causes, but the good news is that you can tackle it effectively with natural products.<\/p>\n<p>Your dog\u2019s coat plays an important role in how smells develop. When your dog gets wet in the rain, that wet-dog scent can quickly spread throughout the house.<\/p>\n<h2>The main causes of unpleasant dog odour<\/h2>\n<h3>Moisture and bacteria in the coat<\/h3>\n<p>Moisture in the coat gives bacteria the chance to multiply. These bacteria cause the characteristic doggy smell so many dog owners recognise. Especially when your dog often plays outside, dirt can build up in the coat.<\/p>\n<h3>Skin problems and health issues<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the cause of a strong smell lies in skin problems. If your dog starts to smell bad despite regular grooming, it\u2019s wise to consult a vet. Issues with teeth and ears can also contribute to unpleasant odours.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-double-image\">\n<div class=\"jg-sis-left-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7.jpg 392w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7-354x453.jpg 354w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7-295x377.jpg 295w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7-300x383.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7-72x92.jpg 72w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-7-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-right-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5101\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"392\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8.jpg 392w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8-354x453.jpg 354w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8-295x377.jpg 295w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8-300x383.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8-72x92.jpg 72w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-8-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5094\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-1.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-1-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-1-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-1-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>Natural scents that help against dog odour<\/h2>\n<h3>Lavender: a calming scent<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product\/hondenshampoo-bark-bliss\/\">Lavender is one of the most effective natural scents for neutralising dog odour.

By brushing the coat thoroughly, you avoid a build-up of dirt and bacteria. This helps prevent your dog from becoming a source of bad smells in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>At Pawness, we offer an <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product-categorie\/hondenborstels\/\">extensive collection of brushes<\/a>, so there\u2019s a suitable option for every coat type.

Does your dog have a short coat? Then the nylon\/wooden brush is a great choice. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product\/vegan-houten-nylon-borstel\/\">Nylon \/ houten borstel.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Effective ways to remove dog odour from your home<\/h2>\n<h3>Ventilation: the basis of clean air<\/h3>\n<p>Good ventilation is crucial for clean air in your home. Open your windows regularly to let in fresh air. This helps neutralise smells and prevents your house from smelling like dog.<\/p>\n<h3>Vinegar: a natural all-rounder<\/h3>\n<p>Vinegar is one of the most effective natural remedies for fighting unpleasant odours. Mix equal parts water and vinegar to wipe down furniture and other surfaces. Vinegar helps neutralise smells without being harmful.<\/p>\n<h2>A tailored approach for different surfaces<\/h2>\n<h3>Treating textiles and upholstered furniture<\/h3>\n<p>For fabric furniture your dog likes to sleep on, you can use baking soda. Sprinkle it generously over the surface, let it sit for a few hours, and then vacuum it thoroughly. This helps draw out stubborn odours from textiles<\/p>\n<h3>Cleaning floors and hard surfaces<\/h3>\n<p>For hard floors, use a solution of warm water and a natural cleaning product. This helps clean the floor and reduce smells at the same time. Make sure you dry the floor well afterwards to prevent moisture problems.<\/p>\n<h3>Keeping the dog bed clean<\/h3>\n<p>Your dog\u2019s bed can be one of the main sources of bad smells. Wash the cushions regularly and use a spray to keep the bed fresh. A clean bed makes a big difference to how your home smells.<\/p>\n<p>For an extra-fresh sleeping spot, you can use Pawness\u2019 Cleanser Bed Spray Dreamy Daze. This natural spray contains cedarwood, frankincense, juniper, and orange \u2013 ingredients that clean effectively while being gentle on your dog\u2019s sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<h2>Advanced techniques for stubborn odours<\/h2>\n<h3>Using professional odour removers<\/h3>\n<p>For particularly stubborn cases, you can use an Oxyfresh pet odour remover. These products are specially developed to neutralise pet smells and are safe to use around animals.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding air purifiers and filters<\/h3>\n<p>An air purifier can help filter particles and odours from the air. This is especially useful in rooms where your dog spends a lot of time.<\/p>\n<h2>Natural alternatives and practical tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Dry shampoo for in-between washes<\/h3>\n<p>When your dog is really dirty but a full bath isn\u2019t yet necessary, you can use a dry shampoo such as Pooch Polish. It helps freshen up your dog&#8217;s coat without getting them completely wet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-single-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5103\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10-368x226.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-10-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5096\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-3.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-3-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-3-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-3-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product\/foam-droogshampoo\/\">Foam Droogshampoo \u2013 Pooch Polish<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Natural fragrance boosters for your home<\/h3>\n<p>To create a pleasant scent throughout your home, you can use natural fragrance products such as the Woofs Whiff collection from Pawness. These scented candles, room sprays, and reed diffusers contain bergamot, sandalwood, and lavender \u2013 scents that are pleasant for your dog and leave your home smelling inviting.<\/p>\n<h3>Using perfume with care<\/h3>\n<p>Many conventional fragrances can be harmful to dogs. Always opt for natural alternatives instead of synthetic perfumes. The Pawness fragrance collection is perfectly suited for homes with pets.<\/p>\n<h2>Caring for specific body areas<\/h2>\n<h3>Keeping ears clean<\/h3>\n<p>Dirty ears can be a major source of unpleasant smells. Check and clean your dog\u2019s ears regularly. If you notice any problems, contact your vet.<\/p>\n<h3>Dental care for fresh breath<\/h3>\n<p>Bad breath due to dental issues can also contribute to dog odour in the home. Prioritise good dental care and have your dog\u2019s teeth checked regularly by a vet.<\/p>\n<h2>Tackling seasonal challenges<\/h2>\n<h3>Rainy periods and wet dogs<\/h3>\n<p>During rainy seasons, dogs get wet more often, which can quickly lead to more odour problems. Always dry your dog thoroughly after a walk in the rain, and make sure your home is well-ventilated.<\/p>\n<h3>Summer months and heat<\/h3>\n<p>In warm weather, dogs can smell more strongly because bacteria multiply faster. Extra attention to grooming is important during these months, as well as more frequent ventilation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-desktop-single-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5105\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11.jpg 816w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11-368x226.jpg 368w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-11-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"jg-sis-mobile-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5097\" src=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-4.jpg 345w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-4-73x92.jpg 73w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-4-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shop-pawness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/BLOGPOST-IMAGE_Welke-natuurlijke-geur-helpt-tegen-hondenlucht-4-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop-pawness.nl\/product\/vegan-houten-nylon-borstel\/\">Hondenborstel Hout\/Nylon<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bringing it all together<\/h2>\n<h3>Developing a consistent routine<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to banish dog odour from your home is to combine good dog care with smart household habits.
