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 rid of cowhide smell?

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?

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. Your new cowhide rug may smell like the new leather smell that comes from your car.
