Title says it all, my cloth seat smells like dog and i cant seem to get the smell out, any suggestions

your first mistake was letting the pooch in the cab in the first place.

you need to treat it like cigarette smoke.

by cleaning EVERYTHING that's cloth, including the headliner and remove the seats.

don't forget to spray febreeze down the vents to "hide" the odor that's been circulated throughout the truck.

and don't forget to wipe the truck plastics clean, any dust or dirt in the truck can hold onto the odor.

best thing i think you could do, take it to a detail shop, and tell them to clean the interior, just the interior... some shops do it for as little as $500.

Take it to a local car wash that does interior steam cleaning.
Carpets, seats (front, back, headrest), doors, headliner etc.
If you can, have then put something in the water like Fabuloso.
This should be $50-$100. Then windows down & dry in the sun.
Follow that with an odor eliminator or scent masking product.

Chemical Guys have a couple
Chemical Guys Extreme Offensive Odor Eliminator - Concentrated
My favorite unique scent! Chemical Guys Stripper Scent

Reflections Detail

If the seats and interior are done properly you won't need a MASKING scent, the only reason you would need that is if the wet dog scent is not removed.

I personally would not take it to the local car wash, as many of them really don't have the skill set or proper products to remove the scent and leave the fabric clean from the chemicals used.

You might try a quality carpet cleaning company, and see if they do seats.

I wish people would say where they are located, as I have connections all over the US I could refer them too.

Cheers,

^ Good Point ^ I forget not everyone/everywhere has quality local facilities.
As always, check out the folks that are doing the work before having it done.

Have you tried a carpet cleaner and/or upholstery cleaner to clean the fabric areas?

Carpet steam cleaning companies, as Reflections Detail mentioned, are a good source.
If the odor is really strong/offensive I'd also use an Extreme Offensive Odor Eliminator.
This isn't necessarily to mask the scent but to enzymatically eliminate offensive odors.

Are they your dog(s)? Do they ride with you a lot? Have you tried doggie seat covers?

here is what i did, so the dog never seen the cab of the truck.
(in the pic, you can't see that i had cargo leveled to the headrest of the front seats, and a false bulkhead inserted near the tailgate, to hold back the 600lbs of water and food from getting to the dog. still had lots of room, for the old growth red cedar firewood.)
