To use baking soda on your dog's fur, start by brushing their fur to remove any tangles or loose fur. Then, lightly sprinkle baking soda over your dog's coat, avoiding the face, especially the eyes and nose. Use your hands to gently massage the baking soda into the fur, reaching the skin if possible. After massaging, leave the baking soda on for a few minutes, then thoroughly brush your dog's fur to remove the baking soda. This method helps in neutralizing odors and can make your dog's coat look fresher.
