I have a 10 month old English Bulldog and 2 days after a bath he stinks my whole apartment up. If you pet him your hand stinks terribly. I am literally sick. I've tried everything that I could think of. If anyone knows of a good home remedy to help get rid of this odor please share. I need some help.

Does he scratch constantly? Does the fur on his head feel greasy? If yes, it sounds like your dog has seborreah which is a genetic problem and horrible to deal with. People would walk in our house and ask "what's that smell". I cleaned constantly and couldn't make it go away. After spending close to $5,000 over a three year period for medications, including steroids, vet bills, medicated shampoos we finally have it under control. There is no cure. If you find out that this is what your dog has and you would like my advice on how to control it, pls e-mail me back and I will explain it to you. Our dog is a rescue and we love him to death. It is so good to see him no longer scratching.
Our dog is also a rescue and seems to have the same thing. His greasy, waxy place is on his back though. What did you do for it?
Hi, I am having the same exact problem with my peek, no matter what I do, she stinks, constant scratching, and her odor is so bad that it sticks with you. Please help. Ty
Hi. I have a Rhodesian ridgeback mix. I brought him back from Costa Rico. He seems to have this skin problem frequently.
My dog is half English Bulldog and half lab. We have been using medicated shampoo about every 4 days yet she still smell ands can't stop scatching, what was your magic to help your dog feel better?
Please let me know how you got rid of the smell my dog is 6 yrs old 1/2 rottweiler and 1/2 pitt bull.
What can I do to get the stink off my dog? Do I need different food for her?
She scratches and she is half Rottweiler and half Pittbull, she smells bad even after a bath. What can I do? I love her she will be 6 yrs old on aug 28th.

Try benedryl it helped my dog and my vet said it's completely safe.
My dog had the same signs. Could you please enlighten me. Thank you lynda
Please help! My dog is a rescue she stinks after bath and always scratching
Yes please help, our Golden stinks bad, scratches all the time. We've given him flea treatments, comfortis, bath with hypo shampoo and conditioner but still stinks 24 hours after a bath.
Please send your recommendations! I've wasted more $ than I can afford on vet's guesswork. So far, nothing, short of bathing her every other day keeps my beautiful 2 y/o dobie from a horrible doggie stench within the 1st day or 2 after bathing her, & rinsing w/vinegar. Any advice is welcome & appreciated! Josiegeo@aol.com

Hi, I also rescued a dog and he sounds like your dog to a tee. The scratching, biting at his feet, having scabs, greasy feeling fur and smelling. I would be so happy if I could relieve him of it all.

I am having the same problem with my 8yr old Yorkie. The problem started about 5 yrs ago (after moving to SE GA). Was told by vet that she has skin allergies. We changed her diet several times but nothing helped. She itches so bad she needs a steroid shot every 2 mo. The shots do help but she looks greasy & smells so horrible, even after bathing. She is so sweet but she makes the whole house stink. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! TIA

I have an English Bulldog n I constantly bathe him but he has a bad body odor. I thought maybe it was the brand of dog food, I used mouth wipes, but he still smells. My apt n his sleeping area are cleaned constantly but he smells bad the day after a bath, he's inside except to go bathroom so I know he's not rolling around in something that stink. Could you give me any suggestions on how to remedy this problem.He didn't smell as a puppy til he started growing
My dog has all the symptoms you are describing. I have tried everything and nothing is working. Would you be able to email and let me know what you did that finally worked for you? It would be greatly appreciated.
I believe my bug (Boston terrier/pug) has this problem. I have tried everything . Would love to hear ur ideas. Thank you, Robin
Fight bacteria: increase dog temperature for at lease 30 min a day for three day: hot bath, some 50ml alcohol drink of 40 percent vol 2 to 3 time a day for there day lots of water take dog for longer walk. Feed with dog food that have + immune during those days.
Don't let any water on the cranial area.
Absolutely no water to the ear.
Get ride of dog bed if any
Disinfect dag sleep area and play area with just soapy water.
Take care
I have a blue heeler and my husband says after maybe 2-3 days after her bath she is rancid. Idk what else to do. Any suggestion would b wonderful
I just got my dog a month ago it's a shitzu and poodle and he was just groomed two weeks ago and he smells and scratches constantly please help I can't afford that kind of money at a vet
I bath my dog regularly. She is predominantly a house and only goes out for walks and bathroom in the yard WITHIN 2 day of her bath she is scratching and smells so bad. I give her drops for her ears. Help
My dog was suffering from hot spots and some sort of yeast infection on her skin. It was really difficult to deal with and she had a bad odor as well. This might be similar to what is happening to your dog. Our vet gave us a medicated shampoo which really seemed to help.
Good luck, I hope you find the solution for your furbaby.
I would love to know what u used to stop the smell please
Yes, this is just recently happening with my dog. She scratches all the time. Sh is an inside dog and she is miserable. It gets worse when she comes back inside after being outdoors. I have tried many things and nothing helps. She is scratching to the point of blood. And she whines now continually. She is always licking her paws and Ihas mucous coming out from her eyes at the inner corners worse than ever. She has always had allergies and I have continually been wiping her a eyes. But now it's worse. She smells like a rotten sickly garbage odor.

Hi my French bulldog is 18months old and only seemed to develop this yeasty smell at 6months old,shes had the steroid injections,medicated shampoos,ear drops because her ears used to have a wax buildup,antibiotics and that didnt touch it,the shampoo seemed to irritate her skin worse,finally my vets suggested putting her on a special diet and shes been on an anallergenic diet for 6wks now and the rash has cleared up but the smell is still there after 3-4 days but definitely by day 4 she gets bathed, I have her sister who has the same father shes 2 months younger Ive treated them exactly the same and she has nothing wrong with her skin,all Ive read is that you dont bathe your dog every every 2wks,well Id luv to be able to bathe Daisy every 2 wks,I use an oatmeal shampoo and coconut oil on her belly atm,,pls if you have any advice Id really appreciate your help.
Just saw your post and we have same problem. How do I resolve? We love her to death but can barely hug on her because she always smells so bad.
DOG STILL STINKS EVEN AFTER BATH? TRY THIS..
No bath or sprays needed.
Step 1
I had this problem also, I tried vinegar w/mother spray, coal tar shampoo, medicated shampoo and every other shampoo at least once a week- no luck - until last week. Out of desperation to try anything, I found a small 1.25 oz. bottle of TINEACIDE Antifungal creme in the medicine cabinet that was used for athletes foot. I put about a 1/4 teaspoon in my palm and rubbed it all around on my sheepadoodle. Within an hour that rancid smell was gone - all gone. It was just amazing, I could not believe it. I put some more on his paws and pads the next day and he quit chewing on his feet that same day.
Step 2
That rancid smell was so bad you could smell the dog coming before you saw him. Just 1/4 teaspoon knocked that smell out within an hour, you could stick your nose in the dogs fur an hour after application and smell nothing but what a dog is suppose to smell like. No bath needed.
This worked for the problem my dog had, I didn't research what complications or future problems could occur due to use of this product. Try it at your own risk. Don't get it in the eyes.. My sheepadoodle had been shaved down to 3mm so the cream was able to penetrate to the skin much easier.
*I would love to hear if it worked for your dog.*
Yes totally frustrated with the smell of the dog bathing doesn't help and he is always scratching. The vet said allergies I'm spending way too much money I need help with a smell and scratching
please help this is my English bulldog 4 years old can stand it i touch him with gloves on he stinks terrible but such a good dog.
Ask for medicated shampoo from your vet or look for medicated Mane and Tail shampoo from a farm store. It could be a yeast or skin infection causing the odor.
I'd make a vet visit if it persists to see what they recommend.
What did you finely do to get the problem under control?
our guy is always scratching everywhere and shaking his head
we know that he has fleas and mites. We deal with them the best we can using various commercial treatments, with limited temporary success only, but his smell just wont go away no matter what we do. He is a year and a half old has fairly short hair and is indoor outdoor. He may be getting his fleas and ticks from the grass outside but that does not account for his smell no matter how many times he is bathed.
Please help if you can
Pls help. My cane corso is the same way. Hes a rescue and my kids adore him but he is stinky even after a bath
We have a Shiatsu and have the same smell problems. We have tried deodorants etc and our Vet can't give us any advise. Smudge does scratch scratch quite a bit but I wouldn't say it is excessive. This has been going on for 5 or 6 six years now so we're are hoping you can give a some good advise.
Rolf and Irene Westin
I know you commented 4 years ago, but my sweet rescue has the same problem and itches and smells terribly. Ive changed his diet multiple times but dont know what else to do.
My dog is constantly scratching or licking and smells horrible. The smell gets on your hands and you cannot get rid of it. I take her to a groomer for bath's and she smells less than two days later.
I really need help with my dog I literally give her a bath and half an hour later she smell Ive tried everything I just dont know what to do please help
How to get indoor dog to quit scratching and biting with bad smell just two days after bathing ?
Please send me the info you have to help my pup, 3 baths a week and he is an itchy, smelly greaseball.
Dog who scratches constantly, greasy stinky head. Tried all kinds of dog food, without grain especially. Baths all the time, doesnt help the stench.
Answer: My Lhasa apso mix, smelled awful as a puppy and would scratch and eat himself raw. Turns out he is allergic to beef. Make sure you don't give anything that your pup is allergic too. He reeked within hours after a bath. Had ear infections unremitting. Solution was very easy once we figured out it was a beef allergy. No beef treats, no beef canned food, no beef rawhides, no beef hooves, no beef nothing. Try a one ingredient diet. Also used otic solution with hydrocortisone off amazon if there are ear infections, cleared it right up and stopped feeding him what he was allergic too. For baths, I have since used grandpas tar soap , followed by any conditioner and he now has luxurious gorgeous hair. He smells fine now and his skin is much softer. Switched to Orijen. He is no longer miserable. Make sure noone gives the dog any beef of any kind if that species is the culprit, including hotdogs, bologna, vienna sausages. He once got sick years later and it turns out the chicken canned food from trader joes had beef as an ingredient. Check labels when changing foods. It's probably food allergens.
Thank you, I was just wondering if it was because I changed from Salmon grain free to beef grain free. Will be switching back ASAP and hope I remember to come back and tell if it helped.
omg thank you so much! when I read what you posted it really clicked for me. I have been trying to figure out why my shih tzu smells because she did't use to stink. I am betting it is the pig ears and rawhide chews I have been giving her and our other hyper terrier type dog we aquired. That dog is fine just my shih tzu has the issue.
I have a wonderful doggie skin vet who found a drug called Cytopoint. It's not a steroid but acts like one. I rescued a Lhasa who had horrible allergies and now has nasty yeast. Impossible to get rid of but he no longer scratches. It's a wonder drug. Not cheap but worth it to me. I use a for yeast shampoo on him and bathe him every 4 days. Different times of year are worse than others. Oh yeah, he stinks. After 3 days, it's time for a bath. Also rinse his feet, the worst offenders in 2/3water to 1/3 vinegar. It helps. I hope this helps some of you
I have had two dogs now that start to smell if not hours after a bath, the next day. I have tried the vinegar w/mother treatment, coal tar soap, medicated shampoo and many other home remedies - nothing worked. I went thru the medicine cabinet looking for something else to try. I ran across a small bottle labeled TINEACIDE - ANTIFUNGAL CREAM. It is used for athletes foot and such. I put a small amount on my hands and rubbed it in to my dogs fur. Within an hour I could not smell that rancid odor, just normal dog smell. It was just amazing how little of that cream knocked out that huge smell.
If you are at your wits end try this- it worked awesome for me.
