Dog owners should get rid of this furniture to eliminate the “dog smell” at home

We are a country of dog lovers, but it's an undeniable truth: our furry friends can play table tennis.

While it's important to note that particularly strong odors can be a sign of your dog's health problems, such as skin diseases or oral problems, even the healthiest dogs give off an odor that can make us grimace.
