Spring Cleaning for That Smelly Dog
April 24, 2006 at 6:51 am by DarlaKitt
It’s that time of year again, when even the most lackadaisical housekeeper gets a bit of an urge to throw open the windows and free their homes of winter’s dust, dirt and grime. And of course this includes giving the pooch a good scrub-down as well. With spring rains and their muddy results, doggies can end up looking (and smelling) not quite springtime fresh. So it’s the perfect time to invest in some new, scrumptious-smelling bath products.
Heart of My Heart Pet Boutique carries the swanky Bobbi Panter collection of dog spa essentials for puppy’s bath. Gorgeous Dog Shampoo is for the pooch who is already fairly gorgeous, and may just need a little sprucing up. It contains Vitamin E to enhance doggy coats and skin, with a slight peach fragrance to leave Fido smelling yummy.
If your dog has sensitive skin or is bothered by allergies or “hot spots,” Itchy Dog Shampoo is made with soothing aloe vera gel, chamomile and oatmeal to help heal tender skin while gently cleansing the coat, in a soft green apple fragrance.
For those dogs who need a little extra help (like Murphy who enjoys rolling around in dewy grass), Stinky Dog Shampoo does the trick. A natural vegetable protein deodorizer, lavender and rosemary work together to eliminate that unseemly “doggie smell” and leave your little darling smelling fresh and feeling soft.
I’m still learning how to properly care for Mimi’s longer, wavy-textured coat, and the pear-scented Bad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner in one, for puppies prone to tangles, is a lifesaver. Conditioning and moisturizing jojoba oil, Vitamin E and and aloe vera gel help to tame and soften unruly fur, while a natural lactate detangles and adds sheen. For those super-bad hair days, add Snarly Dog leave-in conditioner for extra detangling power post-shampoo.
Heart of My Heart also offers a handy Sampler Pack, with mini 5oz bottles of each fabulous formula, the perfect size to try out or for travel. Once you’ve determined your doggie’s favorite, stock up with Gallon Sizes, which are extremely economical yet not often available in “boutique” dog spa products.
This is one kind of spring cleaning that you, and your pup, can eagerly look forward to.
