For eight years I have tried all sorts of "remedies" for the doggy smell that seems to be a part of having a canine companion, with varying success rates. Then a few days ago the current "fabric refresher" ran out so I used my Rexona deodorant on the dogs' minki blanket. To my pleas...

With many of us on a budget if you find yourself sharing a camp with other doggy campers why not 'club' together on the supermarket run and get a large bag of dry food then divide it up, same with treats such as dried liver bits, you can even do this with 'human' food too!
