Goat stink

[FLChick]

Is there a shampoo that can be used or a spray that can be applied to a goat to get rid of their smell? I thought only bucks had the goat smell, but my doe has the stench too. This is my first goat, so I am unexperienced here.

I'm not sure what you mean by goat smell because the males smell like urine. I would think any pet shampoo should be fine. I haven't washed mine yet but this year we are going to give the bucks baths on a regular basis during the warm season here.

Although some people are just sensitive to some animal smells. My 1 boy thinks all the goats "smell". I personally am not fond of the way ducks smell. Each person is different in that way.

I happen to like the way my Nubians smell. I don't think their poo smells all that bad.

A lot of the smell problem arises when the weather is rainy and the humidity is high.

I also love the way horses smell. Put your nose up to a horse's neck, quite earthy and delightful and only a horse smells that way.

What I cannot stand is some woman with wayyyy too much gaudy smelling perfume. Now that makes me sick.

I don't notice the smell of urine or poop. Just a goaty sort of smell behind her horns. I guess there is some sort of scent glands.

Washing the bucks does make a difference... but they will still stink. Our does don't smell bad.

My girls smell goatie, give them a bath and for a week or two they smell nice, but I enjoy smelling their goatiness, on them though not on me. I have a pair of "goat clothes" that I put on every time I head out there so I'm not spending all day in goatie smelling clothes. My bucks smelled pretty yucky, and it was hard to get the buck smell off my hands without the right soap.

ETA: There is a definite difference between the smell of my bucks and my does. The only times my does have ever smelled bucky is for a short while after they have been with the buck.

Are you wanting to get the smell off the goat, or the goat smell off of yourself?

Dr. Bronners works great for getting the smell off my hands. I tend to change my clothes after going out there since it never fails that at least one of them paws at me or jumps on me with muddy hooves. I have to be quick if I want to escape clean.

I say wash them (and yourself) with some hand crafted GAOTS MILK SOAP

Coffe soap removes odors wonderfully! I even use it on my wooden cutting boards. I use it on my hands after I trim hooves..P

ps...coffee and lemongrass bars are back in stock! 4 new "flavors" coming soon.

I'm sure your goaty will love the citronella soap I made yesterday...
