What do you use on your dog? Does it control the smell for a long time? |
Bring my sheepdog in the shower with me and give him a good scrubbin'. He smells much better afterward. After I bathe my Maltese, I give her a spray with my Vicky Secrets perfume...she smells "Heavenly".

I use no-tears puppy shampoo. It's gentle and makes him smell as sweet as when he was a puppy. (He's 6!) Then I follow-up with people-type conditioner. He goes from stinky to sweet!

One of my dogs doesn't smell and doesn't need baths- Siberian/Shiba Inu. The Border Collie/Lab has an odor after a while, but a good brushing takes care of it. I do have several waterless shampoos for her, but I rarely use them. When she gets a bath it's Tropiclean Medicated Oatmeal shampoo and conditioner because she used to have skin problems. |
As a retired groomer and having bathed over thousands of dogs first make sure he doesn't have a skin problem which can make them smell and follow your vets recommendation as to what medicated shampoo he needs to treat the problem.I have 2 large Rottweilers and they have a standing appointment for a good bath once every month by me.Make sure you use a DOG shampoo because their PH is not like humans and baby shampoo is actually not gentle for dogs.....My dogs are house dogs and they need to be clean and smelling good.....Hope I helped....

We use a dog shampoo that smells like coconut.....reminds me of Summer, lol!
|
I don't have a problem with odor from my "kids" - they are Bichon Frise crossbreds and do not smell (even when wet). What I use on the other guy (a German Shepard) is a few apritzes of Lambert-Kay's Fresh 'n Clean. He then smells just fine and it lasts for awhile (bathe first though).

Monthly bath for the lab...he hates water. Puppy wipes in between. Yorkie gets weekly bath and groomed monthly. Both vet shampoos...one dry skin and one senstive. They are both inside dogs and can't stand them to be smelly.
