Bulldog Body Odor
Submitted by Big Mike on December 23, 2010 - 10:23amI have a 3yo female that has terrible body odor. Vet checked skin for yeast infection. That was fine and she is in perfect health. Have tried several different foods (currently Verus salmon) with same results. I can bathe her and a couple hours later she stinks again. Any suggestions???
Try bathing her in a
Try bathing her in a medicated shampoo either for dogs or the human stuff. Look for a shampoo with Miconazole or Ketoconazole in it. Something else to try that might be easier to find is the Main and Tail brand horse shampoo 'Pro-Tec'. I found it at Tractor Supply. You will likely need to bathe the dog 2-3 times a week for about 2 weeks to tackle the problem if it is a skin issue.
Of course I'm assuming you have ruled out other things like an infection in skin folds on her face, tail, armpits, ears, etc. or a problem in her mouth like broken teeth or debris stuck in there, and the possibility of a urinary tract infection, or vaginal infection.

Have you always been on a food with salmon in it? If so it's the fish. I feed my bullies a diet that has salmon in it and they have a funky smell on them. I only noticed it go away when they were off that food. We use a leave in conditioner that covers the smell but that eventually wears off.
