Our dogs roll in opossum poop almost every day. Does anyone have a homemade remedy to eliminate the smell?

I can't bathe them every day. If I could make a solution to sponge bathe them with it would make life a lot more pleasant. They sleep with me.Our dogs roll in opossum poop almost every day. Does anyone have a homemade remedy to eliminate the smell?
We have a Lab mix who likes to roll in the cow or horse poop. And your right its hard to bath him every day. So I wet a towel and put liquid soap on one end. I use that end to scrub offensive area, then wipe well with other end. He sleeps with me also and this has solved our problem. We have not been able to stop this behavior and he is now nine. Another dog we had we finally broke him of the habit, by bathing him with the garden hose and scolding. He loved water, but not that way and decided it was best to stop that behavior.Our dogs roll in opossum poop almost every day. Does anyone have a homemade remedy to eliminate the smell?
put black pepper all over the poop, the dog will get a sent of the pepper and when it inhales and starts sneezing, it will remember that its no good any more,





also try that if they ever start digging holes, pour black pepper in the holes as you find them, again the dog inhales and gets a wif of the pepper and leaves it alone
a bath.
You could get down and dirty with your dogs.
eww i guess tomateo juice because it works for skunks
instead of bathing the dogs get rid of the possums get reppelents and put the dog on a chain.
if you go to your local vet you can purschas a waterless shampoo pet stores also have them. but to help them from rolling in it pick up the poop when ever you see it.
I feel sorry for you. I dont know..... my dogs eats cat poop. its so disgusting. weeeel just try rinsing them off before you let them in. USE RUBBER GLOVES. YOU DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH IT.
how about leashing them when you take them for a walk? and avoid the poop.
Usually the dogs sniff it first right? Put pepper on the skunk poop. Most dogs don't like pepper.. some will sneeze. This works world of wonders for dogs who dig. Sprinkle pepper in the hole and they'll never dig there again. No need to fill it with water and gag the dog.. My dad used to do this.. augh!





Pretty soon they will associate the skunk poop with leaving it alone and they may find other things to occupy their time.
You can use baby wipes or look in the pet section of wal-mart or pet smart and they have wipes for cleaning a dog. It is better to use the wipes then to wash them all the time and is less time consumeing.
that's gross...


solutions-


1. kill the possums with extreme prejudice.


2. watch your dogs when they go outside and make sure they don't roll around in it.


3.put up a fence around that area that is invisible but shocks when they get close to it. (on the collar of the dog)


4. keep on washing them everyday.
Maybe tomato juice will do the trick to get rid of the smell.
try lemon juice
ewwwwwwww, sorry only thing i know is for skunks,, and thats a tomato jucie bath.
try any acid like llemon juice and water or vinegar and water and or a dry shampoo
Walmart has a toilette that you just wipe the dogs down with. Pet stores carry 3 different kind of sprays that you can spray on your dog between baths.
TOMATOE JUICE. BUY AN OVER-SIZED CAN OF IT, USE IT AS IF IT WAS SHAMPOO, LET IT SOAK ON HIS FUR FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, RINSE OR. DO IT OVER AGAIN ONCE MORE, THEN BATHE HIM IN REGULAR DOG SHAMPOO. MY DOG DID THE SAME THING, IT REALLY WORKS!
You can do all that everyone said with the sprays and perfumes but if they are sleeping with you, i would wash them...ewwwwwwwww.
ether take a tomato bath or a BANNANA BATH .... the dog will smell sooo good its like a smoothy..... it works.....
cool
tomato juice bath
Maybe tomato juice? It works for skunks... Otherwise you're just SOL there.
Get some women's douche and put it in a spray bottle. Spray the fluid on the dog. The douche has a vinegar content in it that evaporates smells. Plus, you dog will smell as fresh as a summer's eve. lol It sounds crazy, but it works.
FABREEZE?





Let us know.
eu de toilette for doggies.... homemade style here's the recipe





1. spray bottle


2. 1 cup of water


3. 1 tablespoon listerine (not scope)





Good luck, it's the secret to fresh smelling dogs at all the dog shows
fencing could work wouldn't you think
At Pet Smart they do have wipes for dogs. If you can't bathe them every day this might help. Also there is dry shampo for dogs. Otherwise you will have to try to keep them out of it. Do you let your dog run free, or do you leash them?





Since baking soda is good, maybe you could try something with that. It takes oders out of carpets, so it might work. Or try some dog colonge, they have that also.





But for my pups I used the dog wipes, and they helped out.


hope this helps you. Good luck
Buy Natural Chemistry Waterless Bath it works good for that kind of spot cleaning because like you said you cant bath them every day!! It is usually sold at the local pet store at a reasonable price you just spray it on work it in and towel dry a bit.
USE PERFUME FOR DOGS
I know that this may sound strange but use a vinagear douche. It works on dogs sprayed by skunks, it should do the trick.
