I'll second the better food, but have some differing opinion on some of the other points-
Make sure whatever food you switch to has NOT been affected by the recent recalls. I know Chicken Soup for the Petlover's soul had some recalls, as did Taste of The Wild. Some of the brands recalled were considered high quality foods.
Be careful of over bathing your dog-I usually bathe Jaeger every 3-4 weeks but it had been every 2 weeks lately because he was recently neutered (before the surgery and 2 weeks after, he got a bath.) Our pup has been itchy lately and the vet said not to bathe him as much. YMMV-different dogs have different coats.
Jaeger sometimes gets that strong dog smell, but since we've been using a coat conditioning spray daily, he now smells like the spray (and not the spray mixed with the stink.) Bottom line, the spray helped us.
Maybe he's got a skin issue? Maybe a food reaction? I'd consult your vet |
