| Ugh... I literally just gave Miley a bath yesterday and she stinks again! Why is this?! It's coming from her urine I know that much but WHY is it so strong?! When I dog sat the Yorkies urine isn't nearly as strong and smelly as Miley's!

| I don't have any advice, and I hope others with more experience help you I just wanted to say that my puppy's pee does not smell and it's almost clear. He drinks a LOT of water ... Is she drinking enough water?

| It shouldn't smell that bad though, Bentleys hair gets wet all the time and he doesn't smell. I wipe him once everyday with Earthbath Wipes for Puppies. Around his private parts and hair ...especially at night because he likes to lay in bed with me!

| If she's not getting a lot of urine on her hair when she potties, she may a have a uti. We used to have a lab/rotttie mix. We got her when she was 8 weeks old from the local shelter. She smelled terrible when we got. Shampooed her with some puppy safe shampoo the vet recomended and she smelled sweet until the next morning. She had peed in her crate overnight and stepped in it. I didn't think to much of it at first. But after a few days, the smell was strong. Strong enough that I could tell if she had peed in her crate overnight or when getting home from running errands without getting near the crate. Made an appt. with the vet. They took a urine sample and sure enough, she had an infetion. So you may want to call the vet and see what they think. |

| she may well have an uti, I would take her to the vet for a urine test |

Senior Yorkie Talker | She might have UTI easy for a vet to check, but if you have sensitive nose... I do, then I would suggest a little trim in the lady and bum area, IMO the less hair in that area the better

| See and I feel terrible because she wants to sleep with me but I can't take the smell so I put her in her play pen to sleep. She gets brushed and wiped down twice a day but now I've been wiping her down after every pee.

| I didn't go in yet but I did call. The receptionist said that it might be from her food? they need to run a test on her urine so I'm trying to get a urine sample (talk about mission impossible). Did anyone else have this problem when their dog was on Fromm?

| Oh and her pee is definitely yellow (she goes on pads so I know that much). I've attached a picture from a few nights ago so you can see how yellow it is. Maybe she's not drinking enough? How much is enough?

| You might want to also use a wet cloth to was her privates every night that's what I do with Callie because she does not clean herself. But I would also have it checked out.

| Bella doesn't have particularly smelly urine, but when she was young, she would start being smelly again a couple of days after her bath. I found that after her first grooming (including a shave of her bottom area), she hardly smells at all between baths. |
