We've not had a problem with the bed absorbing odors. In such a case, it might help to also buy the inner liner to protect the foam. The bed cover is washable, but now that it's winter, we've put a fleece blanket over it to protect it from wet paws. It's easy to just throw the blankie in the wash once or twice a week. Maybe that would help with an odor issue as well. The bed really is well made and comfy!

My mastiff is a stinky boy too! What i do is put down a throw over the bed and then wash that each week...the cover itself is thicker than i imagined ot would be so it protects the foam well...also it has never touched him...i don't notice any trapped odor in the bed so far...it smells like the carpet it's on if anything. I have a stinky coonhound too and do the same with her bed...so far so good!

The microfiber cover is machine washable. Also you can purchase the water proof cover to make sure the bed won't absorb odor.

We had a large dog who would get nose prints on it. Just need to wipe down with a damp cloth, etc.

Yes it will help with skin odor. A strong musky odor is a symptom of skin problems. After about 4-6 weeks my Labrador no longer had that awful musky smell.

I would suggest to give your pet a bath then at the end of the bath spay some on the pet then add water to delude it on the fur then towel try/ blow dry.

If your vet gives you the all clear for the most common skin irritants it is likely allergies. If it is food related try switching to a limited ingredient dog food. If it is environmental then antihistamines it cannot be avoided.

No. I was afraid of that too. But they really have been great for my dog. No odor. Not slimey and stay intact very well.

My dog has not had this problem, she suffers from a yeast problem and it has helped her to smell better.

I do not have a good sense of smell - I never did smell anything. My girlfriend who has a very keen sense of smell was around when I set up the bed for the first time (no sheets on it) and also the 2 weeks I used the bed and never detected any unusual smell for the bed. I used the bed for 2 weeks when I had a houseful of company and my girlfriend was around the bed often enough and would have told me if there was a plastic smell to it. I was very pleased with the product.

Yes, I have noticed the smell in the last orders we have.. The odor is so strong that I am worried if it is harmful to the animal.

My Yorkie has unfortunately defecated in the diaper and it has held it. All of a sudden I smell something foul, and sure enough....

Not at all; it leaves the coat soft and smelling fresh. After toweling the shampoo off, the coat will be a little damp for a short while. I did animal assisted therapy with my Sheltie and used it on him before our nursing home visits.

Hi Valerie. Whether this shampoo will work for your dog depends on why he has an odor. If he has a bacterial or yeast skin infection, perhaps regular use of the shampoo and conditioner will help. But if he has an odor from an anal gland problem or cancer, it may not be the answer. I would try a different vet for a fresh look and opinion. Sorry, I can't be more helpful. The shampoo really does smell wonderful.

Mine had a very very very faint plastic smell, not an odor. A day after setting it up, it was completely gone. The dog loves it!

Did not have that experience with the bed. My 7-pound Chihuahua loves it and we've not had that first problem. Her bed in the bedroom next to our bed and in the living room with us during the day. No odor at all. W.Ary

I don't stay out of the house long because I don't spray outrageous amounts of it. Just open the windows and turn on some fans and go for a walk with your furry friend. The smell should be gone by the time you get back.

This shampoo may help. You also may want to consider the food you are feeding. He could be allergic which would cause the dog to have odor issues. Treats besides food may contribute to this problem.

You put the drops on their blanket or bed or some item that is close to your dog. The scent is calming to many anxious dogs. It is not meant to be ingested. I hope this is helpful. :)
