Well then cats should smell too, but they don't. Assumedly from their
constant grooming and saliva. Plus washing the dog would remove said oils,
which is the basic concept of soap. Now I'm not a vet, but I rarely pet dogs
due to the fact that they usually smell funny. I'll pick up 90% of any cats
and I don't get the same odor or a similar odor (unless they've gotten into
it with something). My relatively uninformed conclusion is that it is the
cleaning process that makes the difference. I also understand that most
strong body odors come from bacteria growing in our sweat and oils. Washing
this off removes the smell so I think it would work for the Night Ones. Plus
most dogs smell good for a day or so after a bath. If you kept this up, like
daily human bathing, it should be no different.
