1. Brush Your Dog Regularly:

Regular brushing isn't just for keeping your dog's coat tangle-free and shiny—it also helps keep them clean! Brushing removes dirt, dead hair, and spreads natural oils throughout their fur, which can reduce odor and maintain a healthier coat. Aim for a brushing session at least a few times a week to keep their fur looking and smelling its best.

2. Brush Their Teeth:

Yes, dental care is important for dogs too! Brushing your dog's teeth regularly (ideally daily or a few times a week) with dog toothpaste or using dental wipes, chews, and water additives can significantly improve their oral hygiene and keep their breath fresh. This simple routine not only fights bad breath but also prevents dental issues that can contribute to odors.

3. Use Squishface Wrinkle Wipes:

Squishface Wrinkle Wipes are a must-have for keeping your dog clean and fresh between baths. These wipes effectively remove dirt and debris from your dog's coat, regardless of breed, making them ideal for maintaining hygiene on the go or during outdoor adventures. Their convenience makes them a practical solution for quick clean-ups, ensuring your dog stays comfortable and smelling great. Whether your pup has wrinkles or not, these versatile wipes are gentle on the skin and help uphold overall cleanliness, enhancing your dog's well-being between grooming sessions.

4. Wash Your Dog’s Bedding:

Your dog's bedding can harbor odors too. Washing their bedding regularly—ideally once a week—helps eliminate trapped smells and keeps their resting area clean. Opt for pet-safe detergents and ensure the bedding is thoroughly dried to prevent mildew, which can also contribute to unpleasant odors.

5. Clean Their Ears Regularly:

Don't forget those ears! Smelly ears can indicate an ear infection, so regular cleaning is essential. Consider trying Squishface Ear Wipes for convenient ear-cleaning sessions. These convenient finger-wipes contain ingredients like ketoconazole and chlorhexidine that help fight against bacteria, yeast, and fungus that cause odor and discomfort. Keep an eye out for red, swollen, or painful ears, and take preventative measures to avoid ear infections.
