| Re: My puppy stinks
I can't stand that 'dog' smell myself so I understand your wife's issue. However - a 12 week old puppy shouldn't be funking up a whole basement. And especially so much so that it's wafting upstairs. I know people say not to over bathe your dog but if he stinks give him a bath.
Having the vet check him out is good too but in the meantime, wash him. Unless you want to take him to the vet while he's funky so the vet can tell you if it could be an infection of some sort or if he's just dirty. Also, the Home Depot or Lowe's has some air fresher spray called 'smoke out', it's great with odor. Also, get a fan down there and get the air moving around.
Also, what's he laying on in the crate? How often are you washing it? What is your crate made of and what do you wash it down with?
This may not be popular but I've always sprayed my dogs with doggie perfume. I just don't like the smell of dog (shrug) |
