The vet does NOT seem concerned about the odor.

The dog is only 11 weeks old. The vet checked his ears and anal glands and neither was the cause. He checked for any skin infections as well.

The vet said that some dogs just have an odor. However he did recommend the shampoo made by Hartz. But no improvement. He also told me that I could be over washing the dog and not allowing its natural oils to get into his coat.

I have ordered some of the green tea shampoo that anastasia recommended and am going to see how that works.

The vet honestly did seem concerned about the odor. But I am.

Thanks to eveyone for that suggestions and help. I will keep you updated on how my smell problem goes.

AlwaysRunningL8: How old is your dog?? depending on age...have his ears checked for yeast infection...teeth for decay..or like Tulip said...anal glands can be an AWFUL sorce of odor...you might also want to google key words..I have found WONDERFUL things by doing this.


 Check what you feed the dog too...btw...what DID the vet say about the odor from the dog?? I am curious about HIS or HER response to it??

anastasia: He is a mixed breed, part mini pinsher and part jack russell. He has a clean bill of health from the vet. The vet recommended a shampoo with a deodrant in it. But alas, after only a few hours he smells doggish again. And I so love him and want to keep him in my house, but this odor is overbearing. I will have to check out the website that you recommended. I love dogs so much! And love to hug them!

I had a boston terrier for 14 yrs and lost her last year. So I was quite excited to get a new doggy.

I will keep you informed and I will try green tea shampoo.

Thanks so much for your response.

Some dogs just have that doggy odor,no matter what.I use a green tea shampoo that I get through a mail order catalog...you can go online <span>DrsFosterSmith.com   and they have wonderful things..I will not EVER use another shampoo on my dog..it not only smells wonderful but leaves his coat SOOOO soft..and as much as hug on my doggy..we need a soft coat,hehehe Good luck and keep us posted :)

I got a new puppy 3 weeks ago. No matter what I do, I can not keep that "doggy" smell off of him. I am curious to know what everyone who owns a dog uses to shampoo the dog that helps decrease this odor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. He is an indoor dog.

Argomento: Odd LOL
well today I went fishing with 3 other friends....just for something different to do....not an usual occurence...HEHEHE

fish caught...10
fish caught that were edible.....nil
(the entire catch wouldnt have made a single fish cake LOLOL.._)
all were thrown back except 2 for my cat...........

he was given fresh fish (whole) tonight....looked and walked away in disgust LOLOL.....
the fish was cut into 4 pieces and was consumed with great gusto.....this was the first time in the cats life he had had fresh caught fish and he didnt know what to do with it.....it was so funny watching him contemplate the "horror" of attacking these little morsels that I had caught and brought home for him....I might add that the sun burn isnt as sore as his bottom would have been if he hadnt of eaten the catch hahahahahaha

BerniceC: Sounds good.. Prob is I dont have one or two cats. Hubby and I do cat rescue and currently have 15 in our home. We cant afford to buy raw food or chicken an rice. It would put us in the poor house. We rely on a rescue group that donates food to us for the babies. They give us the hard food an we still buy wet food. They all get about two tbsp's of wet for breaky a day.. Plus we buy a bag of CD its a salty food that was recommended for cats to encourage them to drink water. If we had to buy all the hard food too.. oye!

Im so glad you got the food that cheap! I would have stocked up as well!

I find that for my dog it is cheaper to give him human meat.....I buy him y-bone steaks (with bone in) and buy in bulk when they are at their cheapest...dog food is too expensive. I also buy him chicken necks and he has a fish/meat/cheese dry food that I get him.

My cat eats a small tin of cat food twice a day along with dried food. About a month ago, the cat food was reduced from 89c per small tin down to 48c per tin....I went beserk LOL and spent $170 dollars on tinned cat food hahahah...well at nearly $2 per day when it is normal price (for the 2 tins) this will still only last him approx 3 months ....

Something NEEDS to be done..FAST and a full scale investigation needs to be launched into this matter!!

Argomento: Re:
Rose: Thanks for the heads up Rose. I don't think feeding that food once would hurt your kitties. It is so sad that they keep adding more foods to that recall list. I don't buy much dog food anymore. Have been cooking ground turkey or hamburger mixed with rice for my dogs. Also got chicken quarters on sale so I boil that for them. The only thing is they don't get all the vitamins and calcium that way so I have to give supplements. I will be glad when the recall is over with..

ATTENTION PET owners

 My cats ate it last nite .. we have just gotten it last nite.. so they only had it one time.. We heard on NBC it was recalled for causing kidney failure.. If you use that food stop feeding it to your pets right away and contact your local vets ASAP!!!!

BerniceC: I think I got lucky when I saved a kitten last summer. Munch was given Hill's Prescription Diet m/d a few weeks after getting back home from intensive care. Either those old batches were okay, or...maybe we'll just never know.

What's got me puzzled is the talk about bad wheat gluten in dog and cat foods. There are some vegetarians (check!) who eat wheat gluten in certain kinds of Chinese food (check! check!). I never managed to find out whether I should be concerned.

anastasia: If they did know it was toxic an sold it anyway I hope they all burn for it. Pets are considered 'kids' to many ppl and to lose them thru neglect from a food company is sad. I am lucky to have heard about it early as we had some store brand wet in gravy that we avoided using.

Argomento: help stop the seal hunt!!
It's that time of year again: The ice floes off the Canadian coast are about to turn red with the blood of the countless baby harp seals who are slaughtered for their fur.

Words cannot describe the cruelty of the annual seal "hunt," which is really more of a massacre and will begin in just a few days. To stop this yearly atrocity, we must generate an international outcry against the Canadian government. I hope that you will support PETA's public call for an end to this slaughter by immediately taking two important actions:
Sign PETA's international petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Our goal is to gather signatures from more than 50,000 people who want to tell the prime minister that "fashion" is no justification for spilling baby seals' blood.

Support PETA's efforts to stop the slaughter of baby seals and the use of all animals for fur. Your online donation will bring more pressure to bear on the Canadian government and the international fur trade.
Canada's annual seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine animals on Earth. Last year, more than 330,000 baby harp seals were beaten to death so that they could be made into fur coats, collars, and cuffs. The Canadian government claims that hunters only kill adult seals, but 97 percent of the seals killed last year were less than 3 months of age.

Most of these seals are too young to realize that they should try to escape when their killers approach. They lie totally vulnerable on the ice as their heads are bashed in with clubs. Many are dragged across the ice—still conscious—with boat hooks. Often these sensitive animals are skinned alive for their fur. Their bodies are left to rot on the ice because there is no market for their meat.

The Canadian government has authorized hunters to kill more than 335,000 harp seals this year—one of the largest quotas in history. There is no place in the 21st century for this wanton and frivolous cruelty. Canada must end this abomination, but it will take a lot of pressure to compel the government to stop the hunt.
PLEASE!!!! go to peta's website and sign the petition to help try and stop this hunt!!!
