Fashion house Dolce & Gabbana has launched a new alcohol-free perfume for dogs called “Fefé” in honor of Dolce’s poodle, but not all vets and pet owners agree it’s safe or appropriate.
The perfume is 99 euros ($108) for 100 milliliters (3.4 ounces) and has been certified suitable for animal use.
Dog owners consulted by the fashion company agree that the fragrance is “gentle and well accepted by their pets,” and veterinarians approve of the product, according to the D & G web page dedicated to the dog cologne.
But not all veterinarians agree with the use of perfumes for dogs. Spraying a dog with cologne may interfere with the animal’s heightened sense of smell. “Dogs recognize themselves by smells, they recognize a person by a smell,” said Federico Coccía, a veterinarian in Rome.
