Mankind Fondapet Deodorizing Pet Body Spray for Dogs & Cats | Long-Lasting Odour Control & Freshness | 4 Signature Scents | 150ml

Mankind Fondapet Deodorizing Pet Body Spray is a grooming and freshness spray formulated for dogs and cats, designed to neutralize pet body odour and impart a long-lasting pleasant fragrance between baths and after outdoor activities. The formula is crafted to be gentle on the pet’s coat and skin while delivering effective odour control through a combination of odour-neutralizing actives and carefully blended fragrance notes. Available in four distinct signature scents — The Ocean’s Vanity, The Monsoon Petrichor, The Mountain Blossom, and The Sparkling Island — each crafted to evoke a fresh, natural character. Apply to the coat as part of the regular grooming routine or as needed for freshness.

Key Features

• Odour neutralization, not just masking: The spray formulation is designed to address pet body odour at source rather than simply layering fragrance over it; pet body odour in dogs and cats arises primarily from: (a) apocrine sweat gland secretions — dogs have apocrine glands distributed across the entire skin surface (unlike humans whose apocrine glands are restricted to the axillae and groin); apocrine secretions are odourless at the gland but undergo rapid bacterial decomposition (primarily by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Malassezia pachydermatis on the skin surface) → volatile short-chain fatty acids (isovaleric acid, butyric acid, 2-methylbutyric acid) and thiol compounds (methanethiol, dimethyl sulphide) — the characteristic ‘dog smell’ odour compounds; (b) sebaceous gland lipid secretions (sebum — squalene, wax esters, triglycerides) that provide substrate for microbial lipase activity → free fatty acid release → rancidity odour (particularly in drop-eared breeds with reduced air circulation — Basset Hound, Cocker Spaniel, Labrador); (c) anal sac secretions — the paired anal sacs at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions around the anal opening produce a highly pungent secretion (trimethylamine, dimethyl sulphide, sulphur-containing thiols) that is expressed during defaecation and stress; (d) oral (halitosis) and otic (ear canal yeast/bacterial overgrowth) odour sources — not addressed by body spray; odour neutralizing actives in grooming sprays typically include: zinc ricinoleate (odour-trapping molecule that encapsulates volatile odour compounds in a water-soluble matrix, preventing volatilisation to the nose), cyclodextrin (β-cyclodextrin — a cyclic oligosaccharide with a hydrophobic cavity that encapsulates hydrophobic odour molecules), and surfactant-based malodour-counteractants
• Gentle, pet-safe formula: Formulated without harsh alcohol concentrations that cause drying of the coat and skin; fragrance compounds selected for dermal safety at use concentrations; suitable for dogs and cats of all breeds and coat types including sensitive-skin breeds (French Bulldog, Shar Pei, Dalmatian)
• Coat conditioning: The spray base contains coat-conditioning agents (typically quaternary ammonium conditioners — behentrimonium chloride or cetrimonium chloride — that deposit on the negatively charged keratin surface of the hair shaft via electrostatic attraction, reducing static charge, improving combability, and imparting shine and softness)
• 4 Signature Scents:
  • The Ocean’s Vanity — fresh marine and aquatic fragrance notes; clean, light, and invigorating
  • The Monsoon Petrichor — inspired by the scent of rain on earth (petrichor — from the geosmin molecule produced by soil actinobacteria Streptomyces; the ozone-tinged freshness of rain); earthy, green, and refreshing
  • The Mountain Blossom — floral and herbal highland notes; light, clean, and calming
  • The Sparkling Island — tropical and citrus-infused; bright, fruity, and energising
• Convenient 150ml spray bottle: Fine mist spray nozzle for even, gentle coat coverage; lightweight and portable for use at home, during travel, or at grooming appointments

How to Use

• Shake well before use
• Hold the bottle 20–30cm from the pet’s coat
• Spray lightly and evenly over the body coat — avoid the face, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth
• For facial freshness, spray onto a grooming cloth and gently wipe the face — do not spray directly onto the face
• Brush through the coat after spraying to distribute evenly and enhance shine
• Use as needed between baths, after outdoor walks, or before social occasions
• Do not over-saturate the coat — a light mist is sufficient

Safety Notes

• External use only — not for ophthalmic, otic, or oral use
• Avoid spraying near open flames or sparks — aerosol/pressurised container
• Do not use on puppies or kittens under 8 weeks without veterinary confirmation
• If your pet grooms itself immediately after application, the ingested amount from normal grooming is expected to be minimal and the formula is designed to be low-toxicity; however, prevent excessive licking immediately after application to allow the spray to dry
• Store below 50°C; do not puncture; keep away from heat and sunlight
