Becky in Oz Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 It's raining pretty steadily here. Gomez and Maverick were bathed last Sat and while they smell okay, there is a hint of the beginnings of doggie smell. I don;t want to bathe them today, being so wet and cold. So I did buy (earlier) a Pet parfum by I love my pet. It contains carrot seed oil and essential oils - patchouli and bergamont Are there any other hints or tips out there to 'refresh' doggies in between grooming baths? Sorry if this has been asked 1000 times! Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haven Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I love the way my dogs smell, except after they are bathed. I find the 'doggy smell' is only there for about a week after a wash and then they smell fine to me :D You can get dry shampoo tho that you comb through the coat between washes, I just prefer au naturel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birgulparis Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I use a spray, the brand is called squirt and its a spray and shine. It smells like coconut- and leaves a lovley shine. Got it from our pet shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ive got these things called Pet Wipes. When Riley gets a bit smelly, but not smelly enough for a bath I wipe him over with one of these pet wipes - it seems to take the smell away. I don't use these exact ones, but its the same kind of thing. http://www.mollycoddledpets.com.au/catalog...ory9/product340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I used to use Fido's Bath Wipes between washes but they do get rather expensive (I now just keep a packet in my travel bag for "just in case"). What I now do is give the dogs a good brush and then wipe them over with a damp chamois before spraying them with Fido's Fresh Coast Spray (it is a cologne coat conditioner & deodorant spray). They smell so pretty .... until they roll in the back yard and come back filthy again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitKat Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 If my boys get a bit whiffy i tend to give them a good brush which usually takes care of the problem...tho i do have both the Squirt spray and shine and the PlushPuppy Odour Muncher for special occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 "Eau de Canine" - about $20 - but a short spray hides a lot of smells, and a bottle lasts for ages!! From good pet shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog_Horse_Girl Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 My dogs don't get that "wet dog smell". They're fed a raw, whole foods diet which certainly helps enormously. :D And they are lucky if they get bathed more than twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kymbo Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I have no idea what it was called, as I was given a sample of it, but it smelled like coconut, and this showy gets it from stalls at dog shows. Worked a treat with murphy ( he is getting smellier as he ages I am sure ) I know it was pretty dear, but a little went a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokey Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'm pretty odour-sensitive and I find that the parfums bother me a lot more than the doggy smell does (samoyeds don't really have a doggy smell though.) Around the time we had purchased a citronella bark collar (which did nothing for the problem btw) my husband also purchased a doggy deodorant and sprayed our innocent cat with it... For a few days I was calling them "Citronella Dog" and "Old Spice Cat" and making superhero references. Anyway, I've found that a good brushing does the trick for my dogs (a change to a raw diet has helped too). Mokey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I get Nil Odor (from the Supermarket) & put a few drops in a little tepid water (it's highly concentrated)...& rub & then comb it thro' the coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ish Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I use talc/powder, dust a bit on them, give it a good brush through and wipe them over with a damp towel to pick up any thats left over - quick, easy, cheap and make them smell really nice.

Becky in Oz Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 Just bumping this up to ask a serious, albeit very ignorant question. Does anyone know of a 'homemade' essential oils (diluted of course) solution for groomig coats? Or am I just stooopid (don't answer that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
