If you’ve ever watched your dog gleefully rolling in the mud, grass, or something even worse, you’ve probably wondered: Why do they do this? More importantly, how can I stop it? The good news is, the secret may lie in how you groom them. With WildWash, you may find that your dog rolls less—and if they do, our shampoos will make sure they’re fresh again in no time!
Rolling in the mud (or worse) is a natural instinct for many dogs, and it often serves a purpose. Some dogs roll to mask their own scent, a behaviour inherited from their wild ancestors who needed to blend in with their surroundings for hunting or protection. Others do it simply because it feels good! The texture of dirt, grass, or even something smelly can be stimulating and enjoyable for them.
However, frequent rolling—especially after a bath—might indicate that your dog is uncomfortable with the scent left behind by their grooming products. Many shampoos contain strong artificial fragrances that overwhelm a dog’s keen sense of smell, prompting them to roll in dirt or grass to regain a more natural scent. This instinctive response can lead to an endless cycle of washing and rolling, frustrating pet owners everywhere.
WildWash shampoos take a different approach. Instead of masking odours with overpowering scents, our formulas work in harmony with your dog’s natural balance. They cleanse effectively while leaving behind a fresh, subtle scent that won’t trigger the need to roll. The result? A clean, happy dog who’s less likely to dive straight into the nearest mud patch after bath time!
Unlike harsh shampoos filled with artificial fragrances and synthetic chemicals, WildWash products are designed to leave your dog’s coat feeling fresh and balanced. Our carefully formulated shampoos cleanse deeply while using natural ingredients that help maintain your dog’s skin and coat health—without overwhelming their senses.
If your dog is an expert in finding the stinkiest things to roll in, we recommend:

When your dog’s coat is in harmony, they’re less likely to roll immediately after a bath. And if they do? WildWash makes sure you don’t have to worry about lingering odours!
