How would you describe your dog? Most dog owners can wax poetic for hours about their puppy’s many positive attributes. You may describe your pup as loyal, friendly, and hilarious — and rightfully so!
But would you ever add ‘good-smelling’ to that list? As much as we love and admire our canine companions, the stinky truth is that they’re not always the most successful in the hygiene department. Luckily, a great shampoo can help your dog stop emitting odors and omit them instead!
What’s making my dog’s coat smell bad?
If you’re a dog owner, you know that some pups just make being smelly their full-time job. Even when they are fresh from the groomer, that same old smell can come right back with a vengeance.
But why? Unfortunately, the answer to this messy question is no mystery: most of the time, bad-smelling fur is simply due to the natural state of their coat.
Dogs are constantly accumulating:
- Dirt
- Oils
- Debris
- And other things that makes their fur smell.
Their fur is the perfect trapping ground for a lasting scent. If your monthly or semi-regular trips to the groomers don’t seem to keep your dog smelling clean, it may be time to introduce regular bathing and brushing into your their at-home routine.
How do I up my pup’s cleaning routine?
The best way to give your pup an excellent at-home clean is to invest in grooming products that will keep their coats healthy. When you look for your own shampoo and conditioner, you’re probably looking for a gentle formula that utilizes great-smelling natural ingredients. Guess what? Your pup will benefit from the same in their dog shampoo!
Dermabliss has an excellent line of great-smelling doggy grooming products. Their gentle shampoo uses botanical extracts like aloe and chamomile to help soothe the skin. Plus, the Dermabliss formula has a light and lovely scent that’s long-lasting — so you can kiss that dreaded wet dog smell goodbye.
If you’re looking to give your pup the full spa treatment, don’t just stop at shampoo. Dermabliss also features conditioners and sprays that will keep your dog’s skin soothed, their fur soft, and their smell aromatic.
Additional tip: Keep your dog clean with frequent brushing.
To ensure a sweet-smelling doggy, it’s important to include regular brushing in your dog’s grooming routine. Dogs that are not brushed regularly will accumulate loose fur, which almost always leads to more smells.
Even worse, dogs that go too long without brushing can develop matted fur. Fur mats occur when dog fur becomes very tangled, leading to tightly wound clumps of both loose and live fur. Fur mats can trap bacteria and cause health issues — not to mention the lasting unpleasant odors.
When you’re making your next list of your dogs many great qualities, why not add clean and great-smelling to that list? Regular washes with Dermabliss is the best way to maintain a happy scent, a happy dog, and a happy owner. Plus, there’s nothing cuter than a sudsy puppy at bath time!
