As winter settles in and temperatures drop, many dog owners face a dilemma – how to keep their furry companions smelling fresh without subjecting them to the cold weather during trips to the groomer.
Bathing your dog with dog shampoo and conditioner in the chill of winter can be uncomfortable for both you and your pup. But fear not! Did you know that washing your dog too often using common dog shampoos & conditioners in the market can be harsh on our dog's skin, stripping away natural oils that are essential for maintaining a healthy coat.
This is especially true for many dog owners with sensitive dogs! Just like our mini teacup Pug, Bug. While dog shampoo is absolutely essential for keeping our dogs fresh and clean, they’re not the ONLY grooming product that can keep your dog smelling fresh, clean, and cuddle worthy.
Ever heard of Dog Perfume? Dog Fragrance? Or Dog Cologne?
If you didn’t realise it was a thing… Well, it is! And we’re so excited for you to discover it. Born out of this exact dilemma, we founded Bug & Bun - Fragrances for Dogs to solve the problem of lingering dog odour in-between dog baths and trips to the groomer, as well as unwanted pet odour around the house.
Bug, our tiny 3.7kg teacup pug has sensitive skin and doesn’t love a bath at the best of times, which wasn’t ideal for her, or our home!
Luana, our professional in-house perfumer has been in the fragrance industry for over and decade and designed all our dog fragrances with the aim of solving the everyday dog owner’s biggest problem with safety, care and quality top of mind. We wanted everyone to have access to beautiful everyday fragrances that are dog-safe, vet and groomer approved, vegan, alcohol-free and cruelty-free, and made by dog owners for owners.

Regular grooming is essential for keeping our furry friends looking and feeling their best. However, scheduling frequent trips to the groomer can be time-consuming and costly. Bug & Bun fragrance spray helps extend the time between grooming sessions by keeping your dog smelling fresh and clean for longer periods. A quick spritz of Bug & Bun can refresh your pup's coat, making them feel like they just stepped out of the groomers salon.

Bug & Bun Dog Fragrances are the perfect grooming spray in-between washes to keep your dog smelling fresh, clean, and absolutely divine. However, we do understand that some dogs require more frequent bathing.
So, if you find yourself reaching for your best-smelling dog shampoo more often than once every two weeks, we recommend using a dog shampoo that not only cleans but also looks after the oil layer on your dogs skin, such as dog shampoos enriched in essential fatty acids that nourish your dogs skin and maintain its moisture balance. If you are in the market for a dog shampoo or dog conditioner make sure you do your research.
While Bug & Bun does not endorse any particulars dog shampoos, we always advise you to consult your local groomer or vet to find the best products designed for your dogs unique skin.
