This type of shampoo is very mild. You will have no worries of irritating your dog's scalp. In addition, the formula that is present in Aloe Vera can leave your dog's coat looking shiny and full. All this using the shampoo that you yourself use. A big cut on your expenses too.

Dog scent.

If given the time and the resources, you surely would want your pet to smell good once he starts nestling beside you in your couch.

Dog perfumes can now be bought at pet stores. Once put in your dog's coat, you will have them smelling as sweet as if they have just step out of their bath.

If you cannot afford to buy one of these perfumes, you can go for the other option. That is, you can buy one of those body sprays in the grocery. Find one that you like and spray them all over your dog. Be sure to put some on areas that have the tendency to smell bad.  

If you want to be certain that the spray will not harm your dog, you can check out your local health store and find one containing essences that are known not to cause irritations.
