smelly puppy

Hi we have a 5 month old Staffy bitch has a very strong doggy smell even after being bathed, having kept Staffy's for years I understand that this is not normal, any suggestions? she is making the house stink!

Mmmmm not a clue, maybe its the food she is on? Hiya and welcome to the forum

thanks for the welcome

Hi and welcome from me and Tinkerbell! Like Janey said it could be the food she is on, or possibly does she roll around in the grass etc?

Tinkerbell smells "doggy" when she has been caught in the rain, or when she has been somersaulting on the grass! If she is dried with a towel when she is wet she smells less, but if the rain stops and she dries out on the walk she smells "doggy" for a couple of days!

Hi and welcome from me and Rocky. We usually find a rinse in warm plain water under the shower, nothing added, would do the trick.

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. Could indeed be the food or somehting she rolled on outside.

Food makes a huge difference. We've fed kibble to previous dogs but now we feed raw and it helps a lot!

Hi from me n Hollie
Can't really add anything constructive about smelly doggies, but like the others say, it could be the food, or it could be that she's sweating on a night time, maybe try using some other material for her bedding???

I did read about someone who used apple cider vinegar on their dogs mange and it cured it..don't know if it is worth a try..
