Dreaded fox poo - top tips for getting rid of the smell

[pistachioicecream]

Ddog came back from the dog walker this afternoon having had a splendid time but covered in fox poo 💩😬. She's been showered twice (much to her disgust) but is still reeking (much to my disgust).

Any top tips for getting rid of the stench? Does tomato ketchup really work??

Ketchup - squirt it straight on and rub it in. Leave it for 10 mins and then shampoo off

Yes it really does. But don't leave it on too long or you'll have a pink pup!

Yeah it really does work but it's a very unpleasant process! Buy cheap stuff

Also my little stinker loves rolling in it so much I always put him in a raincoat now as it’s so easy to just zip him in and out and chuck in for a quick rinse - he is very fluffy so it saves a lot of rinsing

I’ve found Dove bath crème works great! I had some from one of those crappy Christmas gift sets that I wasn’t going to use. Everything else had failed to get rid of the fox poo smell so thought I would give it a go and it works a treat

Passata works fine too and is cheaper than ketchup. I use that and a tiny amount of baby shampoo to get a lather.

Went for the tomato ketchup option as we had some of that. Left it on for about 5 minutes then rubbed in a little bit of tresame shampoo so it lathered up. Her neck is now slightly pink but definitely less stinky so a definite improvement!

thanks all.

Yes it does work

A quick shave and a coat of varnish generally does the trick!

Have a spanners

have a 5 litre tub of fox poo shampoo for random rolls, it works

brand is anamology or similar spelling!

probably needs something acidic to break down proteins

Fox poo shampoo! Ketchup is rank, don’t go there

This works

I do a double shampoo-ing.
First round is fox poo shampoo... gets the worst off.
Then a second shampooing with a nice sensitive skin oatmeal doggy shampoo
Then I blow dry her with my dyson (bought for her as it's quiet...spoiled dog!)

Double coated dog here who just LOVES fox poo

Always used whatever shampoo I had to hand on my yellow lab who LOVED fox poo. And Goose poo. And dead fish. The number of times she came back from a walk with her neck and shoulders covered I couldn't have afforded anything special to clean her with!

Another tip is don't forget the collar - there was always a little bit left behind either in the pin hole or buckle to remind me!!

I use Superdrug Tea tree foaming wash on anything offensive that my dog rolls in , works really well , I never had much luck with fox poo shampoo
