Curious if there are any recommendations for air purifiers, especially ones I can run while on vacation, to reduce/eliminate dog smells.
Both dogs are washed once a week, vacuum every 2 to 3 days, and wash pet linen on couch and beds..
Still has smell, which I assume is just in carpet, couch and bed.
I dont want febreeze or anything perfumes, just something that gets rid of the smell/odors.

Can't help, but did mis-read the subject as "Pot" smell reducer.
Of course, whatever may work for pot, may also work for pets !
I got the Germ Guardian air purifier. It works really well with two cats.
When covid hit I purchased the Germ Guardian with the regular hepa filter. I noticed a difference even with two cats inside 24/7.
After covid I no longer had my furbabies and purchased a product that stunk really bad to me and few other people. What worked on that stink was the same Germ Guardian air filter but with a different filter.
I used the Hepa B for VOC I made one mistake by keeping it on full speed for a few hours when one hour at a time would have been better in that room.
So it worked with two different filters one for pets and the other or VOC smells. I wouldn't be surprised to find the VOC filter would have worked for animal smells.
If I were you I would have them stay somewhere for a whole day and if possible one night while trying a new VOC filter for one hour you don't want them to get sick from the smell of that it is strong will go away soon and not notice any other smells at least I didn't. While they are out of the home try using the Germ Guardian regular filter if that isn't making a difference withing two hours then I would use the VOC Hepa filter. Keep the VOC Hepa filter after having it in use for one hour in each room. It will be strong so I do not recommend more than an hour in each room for that filter. I bet you notice a difference. Oh and please if you can get the dogs to a pet groomers they will do a double clean and good brushing before and after. Good luck.

Call me a skeptic, but I don't see how any air purifier is going get the smell out of carpet.
Bathing them once a week might be a bit hard on their skin. I would check with your vet to see if that's advisable for them. There is a very distinctive "wet dog smell" that might be getting onto the rugs and other things if they rub up against them while drying off.
We recently moved into a new house with a walk in shower and I decided to give one of our dogs her bath in the shower. I came back hours later and that shower still smelled like wet dog even after I had rinsed it off after her shower/bath and it had already dried. No more shower baths for her!
