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.
