Dolce & Gabbana launches $100 luxury spray for dogs: What do vets think?

The luxurious Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana once again shocked the fashion world by presenting a new product - a scented spray for dogs called Fefé. Named after Domenico Dolce's pet, this product retails for over $100, making it one of the most expensive perfume products for pets.

Fragrance composition: ylang-ylang, musk and sandalwood

Fefé is not just a spray, but a real "olfactory masterpiece". Its composition contains cozy notes of ylang-ylang, a clean touch of musk and creamy shades of sandalwood. The exquisite green lacquered bottle is decorated with a 24-carat gold-plated paw, perfectly complementing the image of a luxurious life for your dog. And that's not all - every buyer receives a stylish collar as a gift.

What the experts say: Is it really safe?

Fefé is certified as Safe Pet Cosmetics, alcohol-free and vet approved. However, not all experts agree with the use of perfumes for dogs. Daniel Mills, a professor of veterinary behavioral medicine, says that a change in scent can negatively affect a dog's social interactions and even cause sensory overload.

"It's completely satisfying for the owner, not the dogs, " Mills emphasizes.

Natural smell vs. perfume

Alice Potter, senior research fellow at the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals, also warns against using perfume on dogs. She explains that dogs rely on their sense of smell to communicate and interact with their environment. Using strongly scented products can block these important communication signals.

"We recommend avoiding products with strong scents, such as perfumes or sprays, " says Potter.

Conclusion: Is Fefé worth buying?

So, should you spend over $100 on a scented spray for your pet? In the end, it's a matter of personal preference and responsibility towards four-legged friends. Anna Judson, president of the British Veterinary Association, emphasizes the importance of the natural smell of animals in identifying potential health problems. You may want to think twice before using perfume on dogs, as it can cause more problems than pleasure.
