Some dogs just love to get mucky. Whether it’s a fresh puddle from the rain or a smelly bog found in the wood, they just jump right in and splash around to their heart’s content.

All of a sudden, the situation becomes stressful as you begin to think about the mess, the smell, the struggle of bathtime… Only then do you realise that you’re out of dog shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
