[nagdu] Stinky dog

[Deanna Lewis]

Brandy,
I feel your pain, as I used to work in a chiropractor's office as a massage therapist. I can imagine that a smelly dog would not work out too well. It could be the food, so you may want to try a food switch? It may help a bit. Otherwise, the best suggestion I have for you is to use heavily scented massage lotion on your clients, so they will not be able to smell your doggy /smiles/. Or you may try a fan in your room and some aromatherapy air fresheners or oils.
Best of luck!
Deanna and Pascal

Subject: [nagdu] Stinky dog

Good evening all,
So my dog has been particularly stinky since I got her. She got a bath when I got her in August. I had to give her another one two weeks after we got home. She smelled like she had been in a kennel for months without grooming, when in reality she had been with me and brushed every other day. Two weeks after that she was stinky again. Meanwhile, we had been to the vet and she had a paw and ear yeast infection. No scratching chewing or anything. She was put on anti fungal. No bath and no smell for a month. A two weeks after the anti fungal the smell is back. When I bathe her I get hand fulls of stinky under coat. It smells like rancid corn chips. Took her to the vet yesterday and he found no yeast. The vet at the school said some dogs just have more of an odor. She is eating taste of the wild pacific stream. I was also giving her allergy three fish oil supplements. Some people have said their dog smells fishy from eating fish based food so I stopped the allergy three. The vet also said I may just have to give her a weekly bath with the medicated shampoo. Does anyone else seem to have this issue? And has anyone found a decent waterless shampoo or deodorizing something or rather... The huge issue here is that I am a massage therapist, stuck in a tiny not ventilated room and can't have a even slightly stinky dog let alone a rancid corn chip smelling dog. Sorry pinta I still love you... 
Thanks for any advice.
