Dog grooming sprays are in essence the equivalent of cologne for humans. Most grooming sprays are used in-between bathing to give a dog a fresh smell or after a complete grooming so that they stay fresh longer.
Most of the time dogs grooming sprays are gentle mist sprays that are applied over the top of a dog’s coat with special care so that the eyes and nose are not exposed to the chemicals.
Additionally, most dog grooming sprays are made with non-toxic chemicals so that a pet will not be harmed if they lick their coat or another pet within the home licks a treated coat.
There are also dog grooming sprays that are created with a specific intent in mind such as conditioning sprays, which are used to create a shiny coat and nourish the skin. Dogs that are prone to tangled or matted fur also benefit from the use of conditioning sprays that are used on a regular basis.
Dog sprays are often used on dogs that have sensitive skin, as they soak through the fur and treat chronic conditions such as dry skin or flaking skin, which may manifest itself as flakes within a dog’s coat.
