Which statement about applying dog cologne is false?

• A. Spray it on or near the dog face
• B. Mist lightly on the coat from a distance
• C. Avoid spraying into the eyes
• D. Use a small amount

Answer: (A)

Safe fragrance use for dogs focuses on keeping the scent away from the face and applying it lightly to the coat from a distance. Spraying directly on or near the dog's face isn’t recommended because facial skin and eyes are sensitive, and the spray or perfume can irritate eyes, nose, or mucous membranes. A mist on the coat from a comfortable distance distributes the fragrance without overwhelming or irritating the dog. Use a small amount and brush or blend it through the fur to avoid a strong, concentrated scent. Also remember to avoid spraying into the eyes and ears and to test a new product on a small area first if the dog has sensitive skin.
