The only way to effectively cover
up the smell outside from dog waste is to neutralize the odor instead
of trying to cover it. And the only way to neutralize the odor of what
comes out of a dog is to control what goes in.
1. Reducing the smell of dog poop
can be achieved by switching to a higher quality food. The more
digestible a food is the better. A food that is easily digested will
result in food that is smaller in volume and smell. Look for a food
that is corn, wheat, and soybean free. The top three ingredients should
be a type of meat or high quality protein. Fillers are not digestible,
so the fewer fillers in the food, the fewer fillers in the dog’s waste.
Chain pet stores do not carry high quality pet foods because there is
less of a markup for them, so check independent pet stores and feed
stores for a filler-free dog food.
2. Reduce the smell of dog poop by
feeding a human grade liquid chlorophyll supplement that neutralizes
smells. Years ago an animal herbalist recommended a supplement of
liquid chlorophyll for one of our dogs having digestive problems. We
learned that not only does liquid chlorophyll aid in digestion and
heart function, but it also is a natural deodorizer that neutralizes
(not just covers) odors from a dog’s breath, body, and waste. A small
squirt or two of liquid chlorophyll in your dogs water every morning
will significantly decrease the smell of his body and his waste. Dogs
love the taste of liquid chlorophyll and a large bottle lasts about 6-8
weeks in our single large dog family.
