Is it just me or do dogs have a wierd smell?

some breeds of dogs tend to smell worse than others. like blood hounds! lol we used to have a blood hound that just 10 minutes after a bath he would smell again! then again we have a little doxie mix that very faintly smells like baby powder almost. that one is weird i know. course if you bathe your dog regularly you shouldnt have a stink problem..at least not overwhelmingly so.

Hi toe_ster, I have a pet dog and it does'nt smell. Dogs do have a natural smell to them, and it's not always a pleasant one. It can be a funky smell maybe normal and maybe not for certain dogs. Here's some tips I have learned: - Have it checked first by a Veterinarian first if it stink too much to find out if its smell is normal. - You can try to reduce the smell by regular baths, and a mild shampoo. One important thing to note, however, is if you are already bathing him frequently, that may also be the cause of his smell. Washing away his natural oils in his fur may cause dandruff and dry skin. Changing shampoos, or using no shampoo at all may bring about the desired change. - Food. In every way, whatever you put into your dog, will come back out. That goes with training, time, care and especially ... food. Cutting out excessive treats, table scraps, and maybe even a total diet change might be what's needed. Watch the ingredients on your dog's main source of food and try to get a food with no soy or corn. - Some powder product you can sprinkle on your dog's fur to lessen its smell. If All Else Fails ... Then a sure-fire, guaranteed, one-hundred-percent effective method is what's called for next: a noseplug.

Im not sure if weird is the word but I think they have a unique wet scent that is not usual to our nasal cavities. Ok... nevermind.. that smell is weird... and it bothers me greatly....
