We love everything about our new puppy Natalie. Except for the fact that just a few days after a bath she starts smelling like urine. She is pee pad trained and is very good about using them (so the problem is not that she's soiling in her crate then having to sit in it or anything like that). Like any little girl she squats to pee and I think the problem comes from a combo of her being so little, furry and just general anatomy. I think as she's going, through no fault of her own, she's getting her underbelly and even the insides of her back legs wet.

It's not practical (nor probably advisable) to bathe her every 3 or 4 days. Anyone else have this problem? How did you solve it?

Thanks!
