This looks like it would be excellent for those times when you need to get your pooch presentable in a hurry. This instant bath spray contains a compound called Ordenone that deodorizes your dog and is scented with a fresh, fruity scent. $14  a bottle from Happy Tails Spa.

An important part of being a responsible dog owner is picking up your dog’s poo when you are out and about.  However, encasing a biodegradable substance like dog poo in plastic and sending it to a landfill is not exactly “green.” These bags are both flushable and biodegradable, so you can dispose of the mess as you see fit without sending it away in the trash. Available on Amazon.com
for $14.95 for 50.

Flea the Scene insect spray contains herbal extracts that repel bugs and a sunscreen to protect your dog’s skin from the sun. The sunscreen is non-toxic and PABA-free, so your dog won’t get sick if he licks it off. However, you may need a separate, non-scented sunscreen for your dog’s nose, especially if he has pale skin. Plus, it’s not cheap-$12.99 at Just4Pooches.com.
