Cowhides have either no smell or the faint, pleasant smell of leather. Any faint leather smell will fade over time. Even pets don't smell any foul animal odor on cowhide rugs. Dogs and cats will treat this rug just like any other rug in the house, so don't worry about them chewing or marking on your cowhide rug.

How do you get the smell out of cow hides?

Pour a small amount of vinegar and water solution into a spray bottle and spray the back of the stained area. This will help with PH balance and odour removal.

Do cowhide rugs smell bad?

Cowhides smell just like leather because that is what they are. Cowhide is a natural product and will have a smell like any other leather product. When you buy a high-quality rug, it has already been carefully cleaned and treated. It will not have any bad smell.
