How much would the smell of dog put you off?

As the title says. How much would the smell of dog put you off a house?

I want to sell my house. A 3 bed semi with offroad parking in an affordable area. The house has just had a make over. New floors throughout. Painted and decorated. Modern kitchen/bathroom/downstairs loo. Large garden just done. Fake grass with patio area and south west facing so loads of sun especially in the evening. No mud.

Only want to move to be nearer family. It's a really nice place to live. I've done it up in the hope of selling.

However I have 2 large dogs and it can smell kennel esq. I get quite embarrassed although I know it's part and parcel of having dogs. It's always kept spotless in hoover and clean daily but the smell just lingers.

Do you think it would put people off? Baring in mind the rest of it is ok? Or am I worrying to much? TIA.

I think you're worrying too much. Its newly decorated, presumably fairly neutrally so it would appeal to most, has off road parking and is affordable. Priced correctly no doubt it will sell and I wouldn't be taking into account a dog smell in the pricing so don't raise it as an issue. Can you imagine an episode of location location location where Kirstie and Phil show the perfect house to a buyer and they turn it down due to a doggy smell both Kirstie and Phil would be rolling their eyes.

Dog smell would put me off. Old neighbours had to rip up concrete floor under floorboards as previous people had dogs that had pee'd there and it had soaked through. Was a nightmare.

But I appreciate a lot of people wouldn't mind it at all. And I appreciate your dogs haven't done that either OP

It would put me off - and the fake grass too tbh.

We viewed an immaculate house and the whole place smelled of the dog that was in the garden. Shame as it was a nice house.

I'm gonna get flamed for this but as it's summer I'd keep the dogs outside if possible, even overnight. Take them out for walks more and spend some time outside with them
