Rolling around in compost or smearing themselves from head to tail with goose poop is as delightful to some dogs as a sensuous massage with aromatic body oils is to us. When your pet bounds indoors with pure funk wafting from her body, the usual cure is a good bath, but its effectiveness will depend upon the shampoo you use.
Products containing citrus oil or berry extract work particularly well in cutting through smelly stuff. One such product is Berry Clean by TropiClean, which contains raspberry extract plus natural protein to leave the coat moisturized and shiny. Another de-stinker is TropiClean’s Fresh Breeze Deodorizer Spray, effective in eliminating odors from urine, feces, anal gland secretions, and vomit. TropiClean shampoos feature eco-friendly packaging in biodegradable containers that break down completely in landfills, according to the company.
Other quality deodorizing shampoos and sprays include Crazy Dog’s Very Berry, Lambert Kay’s Fresh ‘n Clean, Four Paws’ Organic Citrus Shampoo, and Pal Dog’s Rosemary & Mint Shampoo, which contains peppermint oils plus organic calendula and marshmallow extract to soothe skin after a good scrub.
