Hi all, I have a golden retriever crossed with a poodle ie a 'groodle". Loves water but oh the smell after. How do I treat this? Is there a powder or something similar? I dont want to stop her swimming as it is so hot up here. Help. Me and me dog
Gee. You have a good memory Tiffany. With regard to the original problem, our Vet recommended a diet based on kangaroo meat together with a anti- bacterial shampoo. This did help. Yes you are right. She swims in a irrigation channel that does come off the Murray river. Maybe there are nasties in the water that her skin is reacting too. I did notice that after clipping that the smell is reduced when her hair/fur is thinner.
The smell might just be the dog's general odour My Mum had a dog of the same cross as yours which she got from rescue. Her boy always stunk to high heavan - turns out it was muck deep in his ears.
yes! i was talking to a pet groomer one day, and she said the same thing, that some dogs really smell bad due to dirty ears. worth while checking that one.
Wet dog smell

So I bought a shampoo for everyday use and now she is happy, I am happy
