When dealing with persistent odors like cow dung on your dog, it's often about finding the right balance in products that can neutralize the smell. Baking soda is a gentle, yet powerful, deodorizer that can be safely used on dogs to absorb stubborn odors. Additionally, apple cider vinegar and white vinegar have natural deodorizing properties and can be mixed with water to rinse your dog's coat, helping to break down foul-smelling compounds. Make sure to avoid getting these solutions in your dog's ears and eyes, and rinse thoroughly with water afterward.
