Clean Dog, Happy Dog

Dogs like to roll around in the muck, and Maine, as we know, can be an especially mucky place. So it’s natural that a Maine company, Mutt Nose Best (888-255-6854, muttnosebest.com) out of Holden, would offer the perfect product to get your canine companion looking (and smelling) squeaky-clean with an extensive line of pet care products. Mutt Nose Best has a large range of shampoos for smelly dogs (otherwise known as all dogs), itchy, and longhaired ones, too.

The company also makes conditioners, sprays, and even nose, palm, and elbow balm for your four-legged friends. Not only will the pooch appreciate the bath, but you can take some pleasure in both buying locally and supporting an animal rescue league at the same time. All the shampoos are sulfate- and cruelty-free — they’re tested on people not guinea pigs.

That’s something to bark about.
