Re: My dog Smells Help
can be many causes of smell, have you changed diet recently as this can contribute or sometimes if you bath a dog that's kept primarily outside without drying the dog thoroughly this can cause bacteria to form in the warm damp skin and when that hits the air creates the smell, check her teeth just in case other than that it could just be age, I always advise if in doubt give your vet a phone call

I manage to get her to sit still long enough to blow dry her but maybe even though she feels dry she isnt completely her teeth are good I did take her to the vet he said that some dogs are just smellier than others I am taking her to the groomer on sunday so hopefully that will help thanks for the advice
