Was your puppy shipped to you? I ask because mine was. He had a very long trip in his crate - from the breeder's house to mine, it probably took 24 hours (the breeder lives 4 hours away from the closest airport). When he arrived, he smelled very badly. It took us almost 2 weeks to completely get the smell out.

Have you taken him to the vet for a puppy checkup? Sometimes dogs smell because of certain skin conditions. Hopefully that's not the case with your pup.

my Coffee has bad breath. He's only 2 months old. I heard that he can't be using the toothpaste yet until his new teeth is out. What should I do?

A master groomer that I know said you can bathe them as often as you like. Make sure you use conditioner. She stated that show dogs often get bathed more than once a day. Also, because dogs normal temp is 100.5 to 102 you should bathe them in fairly hot water.

My grand daughter just got a french bulldog. It was shipped from Ok. and smelled so bad he had to go to the groomers the next day. 2 days later he stunk again. Come to find out he was shipped with ferrets.

A fungal / yeast infection causes an unbelievable smell, and a wash wouldn't get rid of it....you would need an injection and a special shampoo from your vet....Just something it could be: though I think it would more likely be the smell off his urine - he might not be aiming it right....my male does this, and I have to wash his legs !

Maybe the smell is from ear infection. My Poppy had horrible smell even after bathing and sure enough, ears. Dr. gave me drops, now he smells like a flower!
