How to Get Rid of Dog Smell in Your Car After a Trip

Traveling with a puppy is always a joy, but the lingering smell in your car can become a problem. Dog hair, drool, and dirt from paws absorb very quickly into fabric seats.

To get rid of the odor, start by vacuuming thoroughly using special attachments for pet hair removal. Next, treat the seats with an enzymatic spray that breaks down organic compounds at the molecular level, rather than just masking them. For prevention, always use waterproof car hammocks or seat covers during trips. Not only do they protect the interior from dirt, but they are also easy to machine wash.
