AlwaysRunningL8: That sentence should have read.

The vet does NOT seem concerned about the odor.

:)

The dog is only 11 weeks old. The vet checked his ears and anal glands and neither was the cause. He checked for any skin infections as well.

The vet said that some dogs just have an odor. However he did recommend the shampoo made by Hartz. But no improvement. He also told me that I could be over washing the dog and not allowing its natural oils to get into his coat.

I have ordered some of the green tea shampoo that anastasia recommended and am going to see how that works.

The vet honestly did seem concerned about the odor. But I am.

Thanks to eveyone for that suggestions and help. I will keep you updated on how my smell problem goes.

anastasia: He is a mixed breed, part mini pinsher and part jack russell. He has a clean bill of health from the vet. The vet recommended a shampoo with a deodrant in it. But alas, after only a few hours he smells doggish again. And I so love him and want to keep him in my house, but this odor is overbearing. I will have to check out the website that you recommended. I love dogs so much! And love to hug them!

I had a boston terrier for 14 yrs and lost her last year. So I was quite excited to get a new doggy.

I will keep you informed and I will try green tea shampoo.

Thanks so much for your response.

I got a new puppy 3 weeks ago. No matter what I do, I can not keep that "doggy" smell off of him. I am curious to know what everyone who owns a dog uses to shampoo the dog that helps decrease this odor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. He is an indoor dog.
