Abstract
Deodorant efficacy of a hair coat care product for dogs,‘Best Friends Treatment-Mist-Type’(Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) was evaluated for stench after anal sac expression in 114 dogs. Odor intensity around the anus after anal sac expression was significantly more intense (p<0.0001) than that before the expression. After spraying the test product, odors were significantly less intense (p<0.0001) than after anal sac expression. Results show that the product is useful as a stench deodorant after anal sac expression in dogs.
