SMELLY DOGGY ODOUR
Smelly dog – Nothing is worse than having your lovely house pet being smelly?! Even though I have been able to heal my dog of his skin problems he still gets that doggy smelly after a few days (Check out “CURE Dog's Skin Problems & Allergies” ) When that happens out comes the baking soda (baking powder). Yes that’s right baking soda! No I am not going to starting making a cake in the hope that the smell of the cake cooking will over power the dog smell.
I sprinkle his coat with a small amount baking soda, use my hands to rub the powder into his hair then give him a good brushing. This is a good stand by if you do not have the time to bath your pet or your pet is a bit smelly and you have friends coming over, and don’t want to be embarrassed with a smelly dog. Sprinkling baking soda over your dog before his regular brushing and a number of things will happen: it helps to keep him clean, gets the coat beautifully shiny, reduces smelly dog odour and reduces fleas.
Also before you wash your pet – every 2nd or 3 rd wash sprinkle them with baking soda before the wash. This will get rid of any fleas and gets their coat really clean. Their coat becomes squeeze clean and very shiny.
Next time you are making a cake leave out the baking soda and wash your pet's bedding, scarves or warmers in a cup of baking soda dissolved in 2 liters of water. Allow to soak. Once dry you should have no smell to contend with. Now you can combine cooking and washing your pet. Have fun and enjoy the company of your pet they’ll love it and so will you.

Skin and Allergy Problems in Dogs
These fatty acids are natural anti-inflammatory agents. They reportedly
are helpful in 20% of allergic dogs. My own experience puts this figure a
little higher. They are certainly worth a try because they are not harmful
and have virtually no side effects. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish
oils (especially krill and cod) and omega-6 fatty acids are derived from
plants containing gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), such as oil from the evening
primrose. These supplements are different from those sold to produce a
glossy coat. They tend to reduce inflammation that may lead to skin sores
but are not as effective in reducing itching. "
I must say the above information about Omega 3 / 6 oils works very well.
However do not expect a cure over night it will take up to 2 months to see results.
We used the Omega 3/6 oils on our dog and had fairly positive results, however it
didn't really cure the problem. It wasn't until we used our own formula that we had success
in a short period of time. Our pet has now been skin problem free for 12 months and
going strong.
Dogs Skin Problems & Allergies
Is your dog suffering skin problems or allergies. Are they suffering from any of the following :-
Chewing of feet - Rubbing the face on the carpet - Scratching the body
Recurring ear infections - Hair Loss - Mutilated skin - Smelly Skin the list goes gone!
Chances are your dog has and allergy - Our dog did and it took us 3 years to control his skin problems.
So what are dogs allergic? Your dog could be allergic to dozens of different things in the room you are sitting in. That even include microscopic substances in the air you and your dog breath! Food, carpeting, blankets, dust mites, mold spores in the air, pollen, plastic food dishes, furniture stuffing and ornamental plants all have the potential to trigger an allergic reaction in your dog. Food allergies are so common that pet food manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in research, development, promotion and delivery of “antigen specific” diets to help in the therapy of dogs with food allergies.
The experts tells us that a dog that is allergic to something will show it through skin problems and itching. In addition, allergic dogs will often chew on their feet until they are irritated and red (the feet are the only place dogs have sweat glands and these become inflamed with allergies),
and scratching. They may rub their faces on the carpet or couch, or scratch their sides and
belly. Sometimes there is hair loss, which can be patchy or inconsistent over the body leaving a mottled appearance.
Our dog kept on chewing at his legs or backside losing hair and then sores would appear. You could wash him in the morning and by the afternoon he would be just as smelly. He got an ear infections and that too was smelly. We would visit vets and they didn't seem to have an answer so it was then we set out to find a treatment that would help our dog skin problem
It has now been 12 months and so far he is enjoying his good health, just 3 days ago we had the house sprayed for pests and we are now waiting to see if it affects his skin.
One tip we discovered was a treatment to get rid of doggy odour:-
