A dog that's rolled in something foul on a walk often needs more than one shampoo wash to actually shift the smell, which is the gap this pre-wash step is built to close before the bath even starts.

This is a pre-wash deodorising spray, built on the same formulation as Animology's Fox Poo Shampoo, enriched with pro-vitamin B5 and a built-in conditioner. Sprayed onto the coat and groomed through before being left, it starts the breakdown of foul odours, faeces and dead fish smells ahead of bathing. It's pH balanced and puppy friendly from 6 weeks old.

• 250ML spray
• Same formulation as Animology's Fox Poo Shampoo
• Starts breaking down foul odours, faeces and dead fish smells
• Enriched with pro-vitamin B5, built-in conditioner
• pH balanced
• Puppy friendly from 6 weeks

On using it alone. This is a pre-wash step, not a replacement for the shampoo itself - it starts the breakdown process ahead of bathing, so a proper wash still needs to follow rather than relying on the spray on its own to finish the job.

Who it's for: owners of dogs that roll in genuinely bad smells on walks, who want a head start before the actual bath rather than hoping one shampoo does everything.
