My dog smells kinda funky.
He has a heavy coat so I let him swim in the lake to cool off. He smells kind of fishy and musty and wet doggish. No sense giving him a bath because he's going back in tomorrow. :shrug:

2. Next time you're at a pet store grab some groomer's cologne.
Your nose will love ya for it.

3. If his paws smell like popcorn everything is cool....
just something I've observed and understand about dogs.

4. We feed our dogs raw, and they don't get that doggie-odour.

There are a lot of benefits to a raw diet for dogs and cats.

A raw diet provides a range of benefits that commercial dog diets can never hope to even closely match.

These benefits include:

1. no doggy odour
2. naturally cleans teeth - no need for toothbrushes, de-scaling jobs, or gum disease
3. the time it takes for a dog to chew a raw meaty bones give their stomach adequate time to get the acids moving
4. much less stools produced - and they are firm, and turn chalky after a couple of days
5. decreased or non-existant vet bills (your dogs are healthier!)
6. less cost for dog food - commercial dog foods are ludicriously expensive
7. mirrors what a dog would be getting in the wild - and certainly even the modern day dog has a digestive tract exactly the same as a wolf
8. puppies develop at a more appropriate rate - and quick growth spurts are avoided. A GOOD breeder will want to stop fast growth in any pup.
9. the ripping and chewing involved in eating raw meaty bones develops the jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles of the dog. Commercial dog foods will never assist in this important muscle development.
