[nagdu] Stinky dog

Tue Nov 5 16:29:38 UTC 2013

Hi,

I have had very good luck with the origin regional red dog food, and when I 
brush my dog, I use a cote conditioner called “the stuff.” I also give my 
dog fish oil and bath him once a month. I have found that this eliminates 
90% of the stink. When I bath him, I use a two part process. First I wash 
him with a degreaser shampoo to remove all the crud he picks up from living 
in a dirty city, and then I use a moisturizing oatmeal shampoo to prevent 
his skin from drying out.

This works for me, but my dog’s stink is caused by city nastiness instead of 
some sort of allergy…

Best of luck,

Mark
