Dog deodorising shampoo!

[poiuytrewq]

That doesn’t smell synthetically sweet and sickly?

I rarely ever bath my dogs. There is some emergency shampoo in the bathroom cupboard and I’ve just used it as darling Cecil has rolled in something unbearably smelly out walking.
It’s disgusting and a bath didn’t really get rid of the smell dispite a good shampooing and hot water. He now stinks of mild poo and awful baby powder scent (stench)

What’s decent at getting rid of bad smells thoroughly and doesn’t make the dog smell sickly sweet?
Obviously need to be skin kind but as above I don’t use it often so the smell eradication is my main request!

Washing up liquid.
I wouldn’t use on sensitive skins but for getting g rid of fox/badger/human poo it is the best.

Reading that I cannot imagine why @VictoriaSponge isn’t dead keen on dogs as house companions

Yep, I've used it before. Well diluted.

I squirt it direct on the poo. But if it’s fairy you need very little

Another who just uses Fairy.

Chris Christensen Clean Start - no perfume, not harsh like fairy and safe on sensitive types. Tackles all sorts of bog related stench

Cheap option - bottle of own brand human shampoo, kids variety.

I have some somewhere, couldn’t find it.

Luckily this is a rare issue!
Washing up liquid would do, didn’t even occur to me. I don’t go near eyes and literally did the shoulders and neck/half back.

I did not help poor Vicoriasponges husband out did I

Did I read somewhere that tomato ketchup is meant to remove fox poo smell? Possibly the vinegar in it?

I don’t know why they don’t use that in the adverts

 

[misst]

Tomato ketchup does work!

Yes ketchup will work on the affected area for fox poo.

 

[poiuytrewq]

Really?! That’s so weird! He’d probably enjoy having condiments spread on him

 

[poiuytrewq]

Out of interest what would you do? Wet the dog, rub in the ketchup like shampoo and rinse off?

 

[Highmileagereindeer]

Memories of our whippet rolling in a dead sheep carcass. He got liberally smothered in tomato ketchup, well rubbed in to the affected areas, and rinse.....the red tomato stain does not come off for days, and the dog looked like we had tried to cut his throat.

We call it dog dissolver!
But yes, we use un-perfumed, suitable for sensitive human skin washing up liquid. It never has actually dissolved a dog but it's pretty good at getting rid of the foul smell.

If mine was liberally coated in it she would get hosed down while still wet. If a lesser amount I use an odour neutralising grooming spray and brush it well in The one I use is Beaphar. Doesn't always completely get rid of smell straightaway so I sometimes have to redo it. However it is a lot easier than washing her. Deals with badger smell pretty well, haven't had to deal with fox for a while so can't comment.

We have a hot shower outside for horses/ dirty dogs which has its work cut out in the winter.
This time I didn’t even notice! There was nothing visible on him. I’d walked them quickly before going out. Chucked them back in the house and got home a few hours later, sat down with a drink and Cec jumped up onto my lap… that’s when I found out

What do those kittens make of it?!

Fox poo shampoo was the only thing that got the smell of slurry out of our golden retriever after I walked her in the dark and didn't spot slurry in the field till too late. Not a footpath field before you worry the farmer was being mean just one I have permission to use.

I tried about three washes of other stuff first!

Too busy being tigers, always too busy being tigers!
