Long-haired breeds like Shih Tzus are quite high-maintenance. They need regular baths and grooming, specially when you keep their hair long. If you don’t, their fur could get tangled up and gather dirt. And when that happens, tangles could also be very uncomfortable for the dog aside from looking dirty and ugly.

Shantee is a lap dog (she’s a tiny Shih Tzu, not a standard-sized one), which means, she gets to be on people’s laps often. She doesn’t only have to be clean, but she needs to smell good as well.

I’ve long wanted to buy Shantee this Crazy Dog Wild Cherry scented grooming spray ever since I saw it at a pet shop near our old house, but Marc and I thought it was a bit too expensive. I always saw the Crazy Dog grooming spray at every pet shop / grooming salon I went to, but they didn’t have a cheaper version so I settled for a small bottle of Top Dog cologne instead.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I put Shantee’s Top Dog cologne during our move. Our house is still being renovated at the moment, so we still haven’t opened up the moving boxes yet. I didn’t want Shantee to smell bad just because I couldn’t find her cologne, so I managed to convince Marc to get her another one instead.

Luckily, I saw a 59ml bottle of the Crazy Dog cologne at the Animal House Pet Clinic and Grooming Center in SM Megamall a few weeks ago. The expensive ones come in the big bottle (which, unfortunately, was what we always saw at pet shops and doggy salons until now), and this small one costs the same as the Top Dog cologne I got before: Php150. Same price, but the Crazy Dog cologne is smaller than the Top Dog one (which, I think is quite normal since Top Dog is a local brand anyway).

The reason why I really like this cologne is the fact that it really smells good—it smells like candy. I’d use it myself if only it wasn’t made for dogs
