I'm one of those idiots that has let their prized hound into his home. She is a little 40lb female. Unfortunately she has turned my house into a musky stale hound odor.

I have tried baking soda on the carpet, I have tried weekly baths on the hound,dry shampoo. Im considering getting rid of the carpet and switching to hardwood.
Outside of moving her back outside, anyone have any other suggestions.

If you don't get rid if the carpet vacuum several times a week . The baking soda should help neutralize the odor let it set then vacuum up . A great odor fighting all purpose cleaner that can also be used as a room and furniture spray is Odorcide it also kills 99.99% of germs and FYI is good for kennel cleaning . Another product out to spray carpets and furniture with is called Zero Odor they have a whole line of neutralizing products .
Frequent bathing of the dog with a gentle shampoo and add coconut oil to her food to keep a good coat . I would also use a foo foo dog spray to keep her smelling less like a hound . The one I use for our house dogs is called Balance in blackberry vanilla musk .
A good friend of mine owns Courney's Candles you can look them up in them up on the web . She sells nebulizing diffusers w/ scented oil that are awesome (she gave me one for Christmas and I love it) and also sells lamps that burn a scented alcohol based scent both are a 100x's better than a candle at removing odors from your home .

I had to go get the wife and read it to her the post. She just smiled and looked at me like I was stupid.......see I have an old hound in the house to.

Big thing for a hound or any dog is ear odor, clean the ears. I don't let mine up in the living area much unless she gets a bath. She mostly stays in the basement in a stall I built for females having pups in the winter. I don't have a kennel most dogs are tied out. She is getting old and the mother to all my dogs, so she earned a spot out of the heat and cold, other wise she runs loose in the back yd with my other females.

We have our Redbone in the house and she doesn't have a hound smell ...not even when she gets wet. Our stinky dog is a Lab mix. They all get coconut oil every day. The Lab mix is my son's dog that we've been keeping for him since she injured her back last yr. She always got a hotspot in the summer until this yr, I think the coconut oil helped with that. We use vinegar/water to rinse them after we bathe them.

Part of the issue is, I live in a newer home, and there are very few drafts, it seems as nothing circulates.

I do think it is her ears that smell the most. They are clean, but she has been scratching them some, may e she has an ear infection.

Yes she is a walker.

Go buy some brags apple cider vinegar with the mother it's not been processed has natural disaffectiing and can sterilize great for dogs. Put it on their hair little in ears great for skin disorders and smell. Mix 50 percent water 50 vinegar. I mix some in drinking water as well.

What do you feed it.....I always enjoy reading any post about dog food, and seems like corn is the usually the fault for everything from global warming in dogs thru the reason it doesn't tree.

All jokes aside, feed may have something to do with it????

I have learned a few things from this post.
