How to Banish Doggie Smells and Keep Your Home Fresh

Picture this: you’re wrapped up cosy under a blanket, tea in hand, listening to the crackle of the fire and the rain pattering outside, with your dog curled happily at your side. This is the autumn we all look forward to.

At Ruff and Tumble, we believe that letting dogs be dogs is one of the greatest joys of having a dog. Whether they’re bounding through puddles, rolling in leaves, or launching themselves headfirst into muddy adventures, we want them to enjoy every moment. But how do you stop those fun-filled escapades from leaving your home with that unmistakable doggie smell?

The answer is simple: a few clever products that keep your pup clean, dry, and fresh without cramping their style. Here’s how to banish doggie smells for good:

Freshen Up with Dog Shampoo and Spritz

A good-quality dog shampoo is your first line of defence against lingering odours. Our natural Ruff Wash is specially formulated to cleanse fur, neutralise smells, and be gentle on sensitive skin. It leaves your dog’s coat soft, shiny, and snuggle-ready.

Of course, no one wants to give their dog a full bath after every muddy walk (that would leave you wetter than them!). That’s where Ruff Spritz comes in, the perfect in-between refresher. A quick spritz neutralises odours on your dog or their bedding, so they smell clean without the hassle of bath time.

💡 Tip: Always dry your dog thoroughly after washing. A Ruff and Tumble Drying Coat makes this quick and easy, and prevents that damp-dog smell from sneaking back in. They are practical, snuggly, and far more effective (and dignified) than chasing your dog around the house with a bath sheet!

Washable Dog Bed Covers

Even the cleanest pup leaves their mark on their favourite bed. A washable Bed Cover is a game-changer for keeping odours at bay. Just whip off the fitted sheet-style cover, pop it in the washing machine, and your dog’s bed is fresh again.

Rotating between two covers makes life even simpler - one on the bed, one in the wash - so your dog never has to go without.

💡 Tip: With different coloured Bed Covers to choose from, you can switch them up for a fresh look as well as a fresh smell.

Protect with a Sofa Throw

Dogs love a good cuddle on the sofa, but muddy paws and damp fur can quickly leave behind stubborn smells. A washable natural cotton towelling Sofa Throw is the easiest way to protect your furniture while keeping your home fresh. Simply drape it over your sofa, let your dog lounge and snuggle, and then toss it in the washing machine when it needs a refresh.

Not only do Sofa Throws act as a barrier against doggie smells, but they also protect against hair and dirt, all while adding a cosy, stylish layer to your living room.

With the right products, muddy paw-prints and lingering smells don’t stand a chance. Instead, you can embrace every season knowing your dog can enjoy the great outdoors, and you can enjoy a fresh, clean-smelling home.

So, let them splash, roll, and play to their heart’s content. With Ruff Wash & Spritz, Bed Covers, Drying Coats and Sofa Throws, keeping doggie smells at bay has never been easier.
