Do you like your dog's smell ?

I believe the dog doesn't need to have a bath since the fur has a layer of fat that protects him from infections. If we put soap on the fur, the fat layer gets off, making the dog more vulnerable. I never read anything about it and I have never asked a vet about it. I might be wrong. I guess I was ignorant and I was just lazy. I only gave him a bath when he came back to the house with mud and grease...

I'm not sure what the vet would tell about cleaning the dog everyday, but, I would like to see some of your dog's pictures. I love dogs with silky hair or extra flexible skin to feel with the hands. Aww...I miss my dog so much. What kind is your dog ?

I also had a Samoy dog. It had a white long fur, silky , button eyes, I loved him. We sure gave him a bath once in a while. When he got dirty, there was no choice and we gave him a bath and he started to run circles in the house. That was so funny, he had his water explosion magic: He shook himself and many drops of water were thrown everywhere. He was so cute but a little spoiled. Do you think posting pictures of the dog can somehow influence his luck and maybe can cause a tragic accident ? There is a high chance that what happened to my last dog. I made him a Facebook account , I uploaded pictures and videos of him, he got some "Like"s here and there... Who knows, maybe people were jealous and thought some bad thoughts about it.

Some dogs are special for people with allergies. You can read about the Schnauzer dogs, they don't drop fur. Maybe you can have one dog that won't make you allergies.

Maybe i'll just devote my time to other things in lieu of pets for it's a pity if I won't be able to take care of them properly. Merry Christmas.

So, now you have less fresh air from one direction and the dogs smell starts to take over ? The rain indeed changes the air smell everywhere. You smell the water everywhere and sometimes, it gives some effect on other smells. Sometimes, the rain makes the air more fresh and clean. Don't forget it.

That's right, but, don't forget to ask the vet about it. Would you like your dog to sleep in your bed ? I would sure like to try it. A Golden Reriever dog is very cute and fluffy. I like hugging dogs and let them lick my ears and face... :) Thanks for responding and bringing some good feelings.

Thanks for responding and I hope you will find a lot of fun in this website. What kind is your dog ? Does it drop a lot of fur around the house ? I must admit I even loved my Dogo Argentino dog and his smell was bad. Many people didn't like it, but, I let him sleep on my bed a couple of times. He sure left some smell and my father didn't like it. I was 15 years old. I love the natural smell of dogs. When the bad smell is from bacterias and infections, the smell is an alert for us. When the smell is natural and everything is normal, I can get used to the smell and it doesn't bothers me at all.

What kind is your dog ? Does it have a short or long fur ? Does it drop hair all over the house ? My dog's fur used to get stuck in my blankets and in my bed, my clothes... All dog. We had to sweep the floor twice a day.

That's sad when the dog is adorable but the owners are bothered from the smell...:( Isn't there anything you can buy from the vet to reduce the smell so you can let the dog in the house to sit in front of the heater during the winter ? The weather is probably cold and the dog wants some company... :(

Would you allow your dog to sleep in your bed with you ? I guess not. he he he :) I thought to wrap my dog with a clean bed sheet before letting him come up to my bed, but he moved and the sheet would get off from him eventually. The fur also gets through the sheet, like nails. This is amazing how the fur can pass through the sheets and even the blankets and get stuck in my bed. It is the pressure and the angle that make the hair get stuck into the bed.

How often do you give a bath to your dog ? I almost never made any bath for my dog, only if he went back to my home with dirt on his fur like mud and oil. Most of the time, he dropped fur, so, the dirt fell down with the fur and he grew a new fur all the time.

So you don't like your natural dog's smell. You used things to change his smell. It's all right, some people like their dog's smell and some don't. Dog's smell is sure a controversy, Mscontrovercy :)
