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.

Why we chose it

Fox poo and dead fish are the smells that genuinely test a shampoo, and a dedicated pre-wash step is a real point of difference worth explaining to anyone who's struggled to shift one before. It pairs directly with the matching shampoo, which makes it an easy upsell.

Size guide & how to measure

Pet coats and jumpers are sized mainly by back length, with chest girth as a second check. Back length matters most for coverage.

How to measure

Back length: measure along the spine from the base of the neck (collar area) to the base of the tail.
Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, behind the front legs.
If the two measurements suggest different sizes, choose by back length and allow for the chest.

Size	Typical back length	Typical chest
XS	20–25 cm	30–40 cm
S	25–32 cm	38–50 cm
M	32–40 cm	48–62 cm
L	40–50 cm	60–76 cm
XL	50–60 cm	74–92 cm

Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description

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.

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.
