Put a stop to your smelly pup!
There are several places your dog can smell bad plus several differant reasons.. I will try to discuss some of them.
There are a number of things on the market in todays society to purchase for dogs. Ie: powder (scented), doggy cologne, etc.
1. If you have a male, try shaving under the belly area infront of the penis to remove all hair. This will help prevent the male dog leaving urine on his coat therefore smell a lot less.
2. You can try putting, Baby Powder into the coat or powder purchased at a pet store designed for dogs, it will help keep your dog clean as well as having a dog that smells like a baby. I don't recommend this if you have any allergies.
3. Cologne is a great product that works wonders as well but it does only mask the odor for a while not attempting to fix the odor.
4. The nose wrinkle can also get moist and dirty. You can try to clean this out with a cotton ball, soft tissue, kleenex, etc.. Dabbing witchhazel inside the nose helps keep the area clean and protect it from getting infected...
5. Mouth.. If there is an infection in the mouth, you could have an odor caused my an abcessed tooth, tarter or just bad breath. You can try brushing the teeth with "dog toothpaste" or purchasing doggy mints/spray to help fix this odor. Also recommend taking the dog to the vet for a thourough examination.
I hope this information helps.
