Donating YT 500 Club Member | All that work and she's already stinky I bathed Zoe yesterday we've been playing beauty shop since last night, doing brushings regularly to get her used to it. I took a nap and came down today and she smells like butt. I'm sorry but she does. She smells so foul and I'm not sure what she got into or if she's had gas or what I cant' bathe her again or she'll get too dry.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | She really shouldn't ever smell that way, even after 1 week Joey still smells good, not perfumey good, but Fritos good. One of the things that might be troubling her is her anal glands are too full. Does she ever do the little booty scoot? Most dogs empty their glands when they poop, but some don't, and the liquid in the gland gets too full. If you look around the anus, it will be slightly poofy. It's best if the vet shows you how to empty the glands because unless you do it properly, you can push the contents further up, and this can lead to impaction. Other bad smells come from yeast infections, and ear infections, both of which need to be check out by a vet. Don't mask the problem with scents, odors give us an important indication to the health of our dog, and this is not normal. For the dry skin, make sure you use a shampoo meant for dogs because they have a different ph than shampoos meant for humans, even gentle human shampoos can dry out their skin and hair. Always follow with a good conditioner, and the very most important step is really rinsing well, left over products can really dry out the skin, and lead to skin infections which also can be smelly.

| booty scoot...they scoot their booty on carpet, grass or anywhere else...we say they are wiping their butts with expensive paper (rugs). Its gross... I laughed at the smelling like butt! Is she in heat at all? My Zoe smells from time to time...course it doesn't help that they eat my DH dog's food...with FISH! So everyone smells like butt out of their mouth...

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Guess what?!?!? Guinness stinks too. I think I know what it is. I gave them some scrambled eggs this morning. Not much but apparently enough. I'm smelling their egg farts!!! SO nasty. I haven't heard Zoe's but I heard Guinnie's and then he ran from it. ugh it's so nasty!

| Mine usually still smell fine after a week. They get weekly baths, sometimes every 2 weeks in the winter. I usually wash their faces at night with a warm baby wash cloth and a tiny bit of their shampoo and make sure I rinse well. I also wash their paws, butts and privates every night with baby wipes. Sometimes their faces can get stinky right after eating or drinking, or after they go potty. I also agree with what someone else posted....could be her anal glands.
