FOX POO ON YOUR DOGS FUR/HAIR

This is something I have recently heard of and my friend Pat has just reminded me I was going to do this post.

So they say, tomato ketchup is a traditional home remedy used to help neutralize the strong, oily odor of fox poo on dogs because its acidity helps cut through the stench. 🤔

How they say to use it (I've never tried).
Scrape or wipe off any poo from your dog’s fur/hair before getting them wet.
Apply ketchup: Rub tomato ketchup liberally directly into the smelly, dry or slightly damp fur/hair.
Wait: Leave the ketchup on the affected area for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Rinse and shampoo: Wash the ketchup out thoroughly with warm water, then follow up with a proper dog shampoo to remove leftover residue and tomato scent.

Things to Keep in Mind:
Staining risk: Ketchup can temporarily tint light-colored, white, or porous coats with a pink or red hue.
Not a total fix, but there are alternatives out there.

As I said above, I have never tried, but I would if the dog was mine 😊

I hope these short clips brighten up your Sunday. They did me 🥰❤️

"Percy's myelopathy has been getting a bit worse lately. He can't stand up for very long so we are trying to get him used to standing in the wheels when he eats also".

Being a Farmer's daughter I totally get this. Great post, Jan 👍🏻❤️

We all love a good walk in the countryside, but it’s important to be kind to the farmers who care for the land we enjoy. As dog walkers, we can do our part by following the UK Countryside Code: keep dogs on leads near livestock, stick to marked paths, and always clean up after them. Don’t forget to close gates behind you, to prevent animals from escaping or wandering into danger. Respecting farmland helps protect wildlife, livestock, and the rural way of life.
