Unpleasant odours can signal skin imbalances or infection.
Keep skin clean, fresh and in balance with regular, effective maintenance.
Why do odours occur?
If your dog smells a bit funky even after a bath, it’s usually not just “dog smell” - it can be a sign of something deeper. Persistent skin odour is often caused by an imbalance of yeast or bacteria on your dog’s skin, which can build up in skin folds, ears, or moist areas after swimming.
Dogs with skin folds or thick coats can be especially prone to developing smelly skin, particularly if moisture gets trapped. Addressing odours requires a twofold approach: thoroughly cleansing to remove bacteria/yeast buildup and applying products that restore the skin barrier, helping prevent recurring smells.
How Fur Love helps
If your pup’s odour lingers even after a bath, Fur Love offers a natural solution to keep them fresher for longer. Our Micellar Cleansing Spritz is perfect for between-bath refreshes, helping neutralise odour-causing bacteria on the skin and coat. Aloe, coconut, and cucumber extracts cleanse and hydrate without irritation.
For a deeper clean, the Natural Dog Shampoo removes dirt, oils, and bacteria while infusing the coat with Manuka Honey and citrus oils, leaving your dog clean, soft, and sweet-smelling after every wash.
The science behind our solution to odour
Doggy odour is often caused by bacteria and yeast on the skin, which release smelly compounds as they break down oils and debris. Fur Love’s Micellar Cleansing Spritz targets these bacteria with a gentle, water-based formula. Aloe vera and cucumber provide cooling, soothing effects, while coconut extract delivers light antimicrobial action to cleanse and freshen without stripping the skin’s natural defences.
The Natural Dog Shampoo complements this with a deeper cleanse, using Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine to wash away dirt and bacteria safely. Manuka Honey is key here—its natural antibacterial properties help prevent odour-causing microbes from thriving. Citrus peel oil offers a clean, fresh scent, while coconut water and olive extract ensure the skin stays hydrated and healthy, reducing the chance of future odour build-up.
Together, these products work to neutralise odour at the source and keep your dog’s skin and coat feeling clean, fresh, and comfortable between baths.
