The smell of essential orange oil is much more pleasant than wet dog smell. That may be why you've decided to add a final rinse of orange oil to your dog's bath, but there are other benefits to this natural deodorizer. Ecoanimal.com lists orange oil as "naturally soothing and detoxifying." Uptowncritters.com calls the oil made from orange peel, "An effective deodorizer, degreaser and fur stain remover which helps to calm and relieve common skin and itching problems associated with flea bites and other dermatitis." With a small amount of effort you can add orange oil in the final rinse of your dog's bath in order to calm, cleanse, and coddle her.
