Big bob is beginning to smell overpowering - any suggestions until I can get to chauterault park at the weekend and put him in the dogwasher machine.
Why is he smelling sooooo bad?
Dodge never smells bad - he is actually a really sweet smelling dog. |

Is that Bob b.o. then, if so a good can of deodorant works wonders on Steven.

Honestly Brenda, he as really rancid, it has been getting worse for a couple of days now - just an overpowering dog smell.
He has smelled like that in the past when he had his skin infection, but I dont see any hotspots on him
just as well I love him soooooo much or he would be sleeping out in th garden. |

Kirsty, is he damp? He has such a thick fluffy coat that if he gets wet he'll stay damp for ages .......... maybe that's the smell.
Murphy is frequently rank but rolls in foxes sh!t and pee pee...................... |

I have the same problem with stuart! Could you fit him in your bath and give him a good wash? |

you could try and rub him down with non scented baby wipes! you may need a full packet but i swear by them for everything! then possibly a small squirt of swartzkoff dry shampoo which is an aerosol for humans hair! it is more aimed at a head of har that is a bit greasy and you don't have time to wash! you only need a small amount and then brush it out or you could end up looking like you have a grey haired old man! |

They have big dog wipes in Pets at Home (or what ever they call them these days) we used them on our last dog because she was terrified of water and if you gave her a bath she would hyper ventiilate |

Acorn Pets Store at Westway beside new B & Q have big dog wipes. I keep them in the car for if we are long way from home with smelly dogs. It saves stinking out the car. _________________ Regards,

A tea trea spray always comes in handy for times like this! Unless he has sensitive skin, just spray it liberally onto the coat at brush through. |

you can get dog deodorant, i havent used it, but might be worth a try, think you just spray a little above them, keeping away from eyes. _________________ your cat will never annoy by barking at 3am, he wont attack the postman or eat the curtains, although he may climb them to see how the room looks from the ceiling... |
