Stinky Dog! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Its me again......I have noticed in the 2 weeks that I have had Roxie that she really stinks..lol..If I wash her she will smell ok for maybe 2 days..tops..but then she starts smelling again. Her ears and skin seem to be fine, teeth are ok, other than she needs a good cleaning. Its worse after its hot outside and then she comes in the house. Just curious, is it because she gets oily very quickly , or is this even normal? I was told by the groomer than some yorkies do stink and its normal? Any ideas or suggestions. I did purchase a spray for her that is supposed to make her smell "fresher" and it works somewhat. Thanks for any help.

Have you discussed this with your vet? May need to change up on her food. Have her ears been checked?

Well I just recently got her and she was eating Kibbles and Bits..yuck..I have switched her to Royal Canin Yorkie, which I know isnt the greatest, but its the only thing she will eat and I figure its better than the Kibbles and Bits. As far as her ears, I do need to get her in to my vet for a checkup. I will let everyone know what he says. Thanks!

Just mentioned the ears bc mine recently had yeast and mites going on and her coat got oily quickly. After her treatment (eardrops), I noticed much less oiliness going on. Yeast is stinky too.

I appreciate any and all suggestions. I am def. going to have it checked out. Thanks again.

Can you actually sniff in her ears and see if the odor is originating there? Also is there a distinct odor? Does it smell like oil or poop or yeast?

Her ears dont smell, and I have looked at them, they do not appear red or sore? She smells like a nasty wet dog, thats the only real way to describe it.

Not sure if this will help with Roxie but Cissy had the same stinky problem. I bath her every weekend but after a couple of days, she smelled like she hadn't had a bath in months. I tried different shampoos (no difference) and it wasn't until I tried the Yorkie Splash/Shine that I noticed a BIG difference. You may want to give it a try and see if it helps Roxie as much as it did Cissy. Cissy now smells like the sweetie she is.

I am so thankful we now have this product. Good Luck!

Is she rollling around on something in the yard?

If it's an odor that just never seems to go away it can be seborrhea, they make drops for that..
