fox poo

[Chuds]

How can I get rid of the smell of fox poo from my dog, I have given him a bath and he still smells.

Never tried this but they say that tomato ketchup (think you use it like a shampoo, don't forget to rinse it off!) removes strong smells from a dogs coat.

Or makes them smell like hotdogs, kita!! ;)

Ketchup is the best thing ! My hound was a dab hand at rolling in fox poop and I can assure you it works a treat .
Rolling in strong smelling substances is thought to be a behaviour handed down from their ancestors who would do this to camouflage their own smell when out hunting. Smelling more like their environment would enable them to get closer to their prey before being detected. Although our pet dogs no longer need to hunt, some have retained the desire to do this, particularly after a bath or then they don�t smell �like themselves�. It�s a bit like us putting on perfume or aftershave to make ourselves smell more acceptable!
Every time I bring Shane back from the groomers he goes straight out into the garden and rolls about on the grass !

The tomato ketchup did seem to work, however, he did the same thing again this morning, just how many times can I use it as shampoo I wonder, as he is a golden lab he may turn pink!!!!!! Teach him a lesson for being naughty.... But I still love him all the same. Thanks for your advice.
