Adding a little luxury to your dog’s grooming routine is a great way to keep them looking and smelling their best. At Sniff & Swagger, we’ve crafted safe, pet-friendly perfumes that are easy to use. Here’s how to introduce a new fragrance into your dog’s routine smoothly.

1. Start Slow and Let Your Dog Get Used to the Scent

Since dogs have a much stronger sense of smell, it’s best to start small. Spray a little perfume on your hand, a soft cloth or their doggie brush and let your dog sniff it. Watch how they react. This helps them get used to the new scent without overwhelming them.

Before full application, do a quick test by spraying a small part of their coat to check for any irritation, though Sniff & Swagger fragrances are made for sensitive skin.

2. Create a Calm, Relaxing Environment

Introduce the fragrance when your dog is calm, such as after a bath or during grooming. This helps them associate the scent with a positive, relaxing experience, making it easier to incorporate into their routine.

3. Use Safe, Carefully Curated Ingredients

At Sniff & Swagger, we prioritise your dog’s well-being. Our perfumes are crafted with ingredients suitable for sensitive skin and noses.

For a stress-free application, spray the perfume on your hands or a soft brush, then gently massage or brush it through their coat, starting at the middle and working towards the tail. Alternatively, you can spray it directly onto their body, avoiding sensitive areas like the face, ears, and eyes.

4. Make It a Routine

Dogs love routine because it helps them feel secure. Once your dog is comfortable with the scent, make it a regular part of their grooming. Whether after a bath or before a walk, your dog will soon enjoy their signature scent.

5. Keep It Simple

Grooming should be brief and enjoyable for your dog. A quick spritz or gentle brushing is enough to give them a fresh, pleasant scent without overwhelming their senses.

6. Less Is More

Dogs don’t need a lot of perfume to smell great. A light mist is all it takes. Overdoing it can be too much for their sensitive noses, so use just a small amount.

7. Avoid Sensitive Areas

When applying perfume, steer clear of your dog’s eyes, nose, and ears. Focus on areas like their back, neck, and tail for safe, effective application.

8. Enjoy the Bonding Time

Grooming and applying fragrance is more than just pampering — it’s quality bonding time. By keeping the experience positive and soothing, you’re strengthening your connection with your dog.

Final Thoughts

Introducing fragrance into your dog’s grooming routine should be easy and enjoyable. With Sniff & Swagger, you can add a touch of luxury while ensuring their safety. Take it slow, keep it simple, and your dog will soon be loving their signature scent.
