Deodorant for your cat or dog? Lemongrass mosquito repellant for your pet? Mouthwash gel, maybe?

[Flaxbee]

Rather $$, but for the kitty or doggy love of your life, a treat, perhaps:

Honestly, Santa Maria Novella has incredible fragrances -- never knew until tonight that they had for-pets products, too.

1. Dogs love the smell of feces

So if you want to give a dog the smell they can't resist, use poop

3. I think this is for your benefit, not theirs. So, if you like eau de poop, that's cool

But white musk might be nicer

9. When I as a kid we had a Weimaraner

a German dog bred for hunting. At that time, my dad was in the Air Force and we lived on the base, out in the countryside. Every time we gave that dog a bath, it would run to the nearest pile of manure that a farmer had for fertilizing his field and happily roll in it. I was told the dog did it because his instinct told him that the bad odor masked his own normal doggy odor from prey.

2. Do you put the deodorant on their armpits? Rub it all over them?

Cats don't have B.O. Usually they just smell like dusty fur.

4. Apparently you spray it on their fur (avoiding the face) and then rub it gently in

Lol. Makes me laugh since cats are so clean, but I have one cat who is PURE BIMBO; I love her to bits; I'm sure she'd adore smelling like a rose. She likes to have her teeth brushed, and if I so much as reach toward the cat comb, she's all over me in an instant. The other kitties like to be groomed, too, but they don't writhe in ecstasy the way Bimbo does.

5. Your cat likes having her teeth brushed??

Mine try to chomp my fingers off when I try that. Have you ever noticed how long and sharp and pointy a cat's teeth are?

[Flaxbee]

6. yes, oh my god she loves it

She gets a little restless when I try to get her back molars, but her front canines, she actually bares her teeth so I can get to them.

It is truly the damnedest thing.

7. Would you please try to make a video of that?

I just LOVE animals.

To be quite honest I would rather see pictures/videos of animals than children. A video of a cat getting his teeth brushed would just make me melt!

[Flaxbee]

12. I will try to, yes. Might take a while, but I'll do it ...

8. Dogs don't sweat so there really is no such thing as deodorant for dogs

If there is something stinky on their fur I wash it off with the minimal amount of degreaser.

Dogs are highly social and scent is their dominant sense (much the way sight is ours). Placing artificial scents on animals may be well meaning but it is a very bad idea.

I was visiting a relative recently and was horrified to watch them feed their dog meal after meal of nothing but "treats" -- Pup-peroni, fake steak things, beef jerky for dogs. The ingredients contain many things that dogs should NEVER eat and every one of the treat packages contained warnings to not feed your dog the contents of the bag. Onions, garlic, cheese, smoke flavor, glycerin, on and on.

Brushing their teeth is not a bad idea but much of the other stuff is IMHO.

13. yeah, I know -- it's a silly idea, which is one of the reasons why I posted it.

And I do know that animals, if they're healthy, usually smell pretty good and/or the way they "should".

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. But they can be kind of stinky when wet.

Love that scent of Eau de Chien Humide.

11. Prell works well.
