Abstract
This invention is concerned with odor control animal shampoo. Odor control animal shampoos in accordance with this invention comprises a shampoo base to which is added a halo sulfonamide compound. In use the halo sulfonamide compound, as is contained in the shampoo, reacts with odorous nitrogen and sulfur bearing compounds which are contained on the body of a pet. The halo sulfonamide compound reacts with the nitrogen and sulfur compounds to reduce these compounds to a non odorous format. The animal shampoo of this invention are particularly effective in controlling odors which originate on dogs and cats. The halo sulfonamide compound can be present in the shampoo formulation at any effective concentrations. Shampoo formulations which incorporate from about 0.1 to about 5.0 weight percent of a halo sulfonamide compound have been found to be effective. Chloramine-T is a preferred sulfonamide compound for use as an odor control agent in the shampoo formulations of this invention.
