Do you love cuddling up to your furry friend but wish he didn't smell like…well…a stinky  dog? A local company, appropriately called Fresh Dog, has created a couple amazing products to solve the dilemma of keeping dogs clean & fresh in between baths!

A few years back, husband and wife John & Jacqueline Cascarano were living in Lambertville, NJ along with their family dog, Hammy. Between running a successful beauty supply business out of New Hope called Lock & Mane and experiencing the sleep-deprived chaos of raising a newborn baby, John found little time to wash his furry friend or take him to the groomer. The result- one stinky pooch!

“Finally, amidst the changing of diapers, the wailing and the insomnia, Hammy’s odor became too much for me to bear. I grabbed a bottle of my wife’s dry shampoo – a powder women use to clean and freshen up their hair – and dumped it on my stinky dog. Voilà: he smelled better!”

Now, two years later, John is launching Fresh Dog with timesaving products borne out of the belief that sometimes even a best friend can use a little freshening up.

Knowing how much Bucks County residents love their dogs, Fresh Dog has decided to spread the joy of better smelling pups with an exciting Bucks Happening give-a-way!
