Any advices?

hmmmm did u shower him? is the dog super smelly or its only doggie smell. everyone got their own smell too haha.. if thats the normal doggie smell i think u hv to tak it as a part of ur doggie

i hear there is a shampoo #1 system or wat.. they say very good for odor..

The odor might come from his doggy mouth lol. Take him to the vet if the stench is really seriously unbearable but otherwise, doggy smell is okay. I love it.

it sounds silly but ppl do brush the dog teeth sometimes even with special animal toothbrush! some dogs love it; some hate it!:) but i`ll love it!dang~ their mouths do stinks esp if they eat other than dog biscurt..

Yeah so true. Heheh oral hygiene is a must for dogs.
If smell persists, get advice from vets. Shampoo him thoroughly, get those teeth-cleaning treats too.

give them big bone to chew, u will no need to worried about the brushing, n also no tarta

U hv to check where the smell came from.. it mayb come from their ear.. spot check every corner of ur doggy.. mouth, ears, legs, n etc..

yeah, normally if u bath him, still got smell then is from his ear mouth. This what doctor tell me. Another thing is are the dog is new from the breader? if yes then it should smell. If u bath him for few time then it will gone away the smell. however it still have dog smell(not heavy, very light) because dog is dog

If you bath him, clean ear, mouth still cannot. Ask your VET. There have something to clean this smell thing.

pet shop stock spray deodorant for dogs.its like perfume. it will mask ur dog`s smell....that is temporary measure

Are there any powder or things for them without irretating their skin?

my dog smell of milk....i don know why...don smell bad just milk smell....after bath him also smell like that...the smell of shampoo like not working hahaha...

Usually how often do u all bath you dogs?

after shower, put powder...but then your dog will start sneezing since its sensetive.

dogs have thier own smell for a reason u know. just because you smell good, u wnat your dog to smell good..they have thier rights too

lolzzz yeah mine have a smell too and i think its from the mouth and also the feet for stepping its own urine and sometimes poo T_T

actually i think the dog biscuit smells bad...really bad hahaha

Once again,how often do u all bath your dogs?

Thrice a week ..like every other day . My family members will yap at me whenever they smell typical dog smell lor .

lol
is it a puppy? or your house is near the cow farm??

thrice a week?? i heard you cant bath them often T_T my family is same with the smell which leaves me in a very hard position....i cant bath her often but yet she likes to play with her poo....

For puppy, better dun bath it too often.. it wil get cold o ill very easy.. for me i bath my shih tzu once a week.. after bath her i wil put some baby johnson powder on it.. n it smell good n i tried b4 if i didnt sapu the baby johnson on it after bath the bad smell wil come more earlier than i sapu it..

Juz remind u all, must use warm water to bath ur baby oohh.. n make sure use hair dryer to make it fur dry faster.. if not it wil get cold..

coconut,
Ur baby stil feed wif milk? If yes, then mayb the smell is come from tat lo..

Yeah , I read from a book it's best to only bathe them once or twice a month or their fur will be very dry and dull lack of lustre . If I don't bathe her , my WHOLE family will start to nag at me or Fala got to stay outdoor ...nothing I can do but oblige ...BUT she's very OKAY with water * smells Fala * not that bad actually . heh

My mom bathes our Shih Tzu about thrice a week too. Once in two days. She applies powder on her too.
Our Shih Tzu is toilet-trained, so she doesnt have any problems with her own poo. She has a bad habit though, she likes to chew / lick her paws.
We only feed her doggie biscuits, so her breath doesnt smell, her poo doesnt smell as much too, compared to dogs that are fed "ojibala" food. (leftover, scraps)

Heh , ojibala ...

Im not too sure though..
I heard some saying that we should bath them once in a month or 2 as they will have natural oil on their body that will help make their fur better and nicer.

Yes , thats what I read ..
...lustre no more

Then what do u all do when your dog has reddish skin.
Is that skin disease?

Where ? The tumtum there ah ? Pimples-like ?

No,just reddish skin under their fur..

... Rashes ?

No idea,need to ask for advices.
Btw,applying Johnson powder will irretate their skin?

The Johnson powder am not sure , but you can always get some oilment from the vet , best not to take risk .

use pantene.....

pantene? i thought you cant use human shampoo on dogs?

Human shampoo cannot use on dogs.... in long run can damage dog's fur.

bathing a dog 3 times a week or everyday just damages the fur and skin. You might not see it but any vet will tell you NEVER over bath your dog. Bathing so much in a week will kill the good bacteria on the skin, washes off all the natural oils on the skin. We humans different coz our skin produces oil and sweat constantly everyday.

A dog can only sweat thru it's nose. The skin only has a small amount of oil to keep the coat in the best condition. Please do not overdo your dog.

Applying powder on outer coat is ok but too much will make the skin too dry.

Do you guys know that show dogs do not bath once a week? They only bath twice a month. Before a big show, the dog will bath a week before the show so that the skin will produce enough natural oils to make the coat shine. Show dogs do not bath a day before the show as it will make it look more like a pet dog than a show dog.

how about the smell? the saliva smells very bad and we keep her in our house. sometimes she sleeps in our bedrooms. maybe we could just wipe clean the area around her mouth?

Dog saliva no smell.. I know coz I have 4 dogs hahaha.... the mouth is smelly because of the gums and teeth. If the smell is like rotten meat, then there is an infection in the throat or stomach so that need Vet to see if really true or not loh.

I also sleep with my dog, she licks me often and rolls everywhere in the house. I only bath her once in 2 weeks to keep her coat silky.

If you think the breath is stinky, you can try and buy charcoal pills and feed your dog. It will absorb the smell and it is perfectly safe to eat it too, humans also take. Or buy dog toothpaste that has tea tree oil and cinnamon to brush the teeth.

Wiping the mouth area also helps if the dog has a beard. If short fur dog, won't really help much.

Any recommendation for good shampoos that are good for their skin?

The vet can recommend the best shampoo for your canine.

Yes,i know.
But anyone using any which are good and good for dog's skin??

Any more advice on how to get rid the smell from dog's body?

Last resort, just get dry dog shampoo powder.
