Fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has launched a new alcohol-free perfume for dogs called ‘Fefé’ after Domenico Dolce’s poodle, but not all vets and pet owners agree that it is safe or appropriate. The perfume costs 99 euros ($108) per 100 ml (3.4 ounces) and is certified as safe for animal use. It follows the Safe Cosmetics Policy designed to ensure a level of safety of cosmetic products for animals comparable to that required for humans, Dolce & Gabbana said.
“Safe and respect”
“Through the recognition of compliance with this regulation given by Bureau Veritas Italia, the participating companies demonstrate their sensitivity in creating products that guarantee the safety and respect of animals, in accordance with established standards, ” the company said in a statement issued for the launch. of perfume. Bureau Veritas Italia is a public company that provides inspection, laboratory verification and verification services.
All the dog owners who consulted agreed that the perfume “is eaten and well received by their pets”, and the veterinarians approved the product, according to the website of the company dedicated to ‘Fefé’, which refers to comments from veterinarians and consumers.
Old age argument
But not all veterinarians agree with the use of perfumes for dogs, because they can interfere with the animal’s sense of smell and mask the bad smell that can be a symptom of diseases. Federico Coccia, a veterinarian in Rome and a doctor from the University of Teramo said: “Dogs know each other by smell, they recognize people by smell. “When the dog comes, he sees you, he wags his tail, but first he smells you and then he knows you because he is stored in one of his ‘scent boxes’. Therefore, this world of smell should not it changed.” adds Coccia.
In addition, Coccia said that the awareness of the ongoing disease can be a problem of natural odors if the dogs are covered. “In the case of sebaceous dermatitis, for example, the smell somehow completes my diagnosis.” “The smell of breath, the smell of earwax is masked by perfume. Therefore, it can be a problem even for us veterinarians,” said Coccia.
