My house stinks of animals

This is not surprising as three animals live in it, but it still really fucking annoys me, unreasonably.
I don't want to get rid of my animals (two dogs and a cat) as, you know, i love the little buggers, I would just like them to be a bit more circumspect with their personal hygiene and housekeeping.

Other animal-havers...what, if anything, do you do to counteract the scent of animal in your homes? I have briefly considered Zoflora-ing them, but I don't think this would give me my desired result (having animals that are alive, andand having a house that doesn't stink).

My dog is raw fed which I was told would help. Roomba on every day, floors mopped three times a week, paw washer when he comes back in from the garden, sofa have throws which are washed every week, he gets a bath once a fortnight. I put half a capful of zoflora into boiling water in the kitchen sink each morning and let it sit there and have a neom diffuser which goes on in the evening.

2 average shorthair cats here. They get brushed outside in the garden once a week to get rid of any loose hair.

They luckily will only sleep on small blankets in their baskets or on the sofa, so these all get washed weekly.

Floors hoovered and mopped regularly.

Windows opened daily to air house.

I don't think house smells of cat.
