I have a english bull dog and he smells bad I will wash him down but by the next day he smells bad again. And I have been using shampoo from the vet

This shampoo has natural enzymes and lays down a protective anti-bacterial layer. I have a golden retriever and this shampoo keeps him smelling clean for 1-2 weeks, depending if he finds a pond to swim. I have used a lot of shampoos and really like all the benefits of this one. Try it, just remember every dog's skin is different and will not always respond like other dogs. It really is a trial and error process. Good luck.

This shampoo may help. You also may want to consider the food you are feeding. He could be allergic which would cause the dog to have odor issues. Treats besides food may contribute to this problem.

Sometimes that can be due to skin allergies. Have you talked with your vet on this problem?

Perhaps changing the dogs diet to a healthier non-commercial dog food will help. Most commercial dog foods are actually unhealthy, not organic and filled with toxins, and GMOs.

Hi Valerie. Whether this shampoo will work for your dog depends on why he has an odor. If he has a bacterial or yeast skin infection, perhaps regular use of the shampoo and conditioner will help. But if he has an odor from an anal gland problem or cancer, it may not be the answer. I would try a different vet for a fresh look and opinion. Sorry, I can't be more helpful. The shampoo really does smell wonderful.

I got this recommended by a groomer. I have a olde English bulldog so the hair is shorter but probably fall outs with as much consistency if not more. It did dramatically reduce the amount of shedding, but didn't stop it all together. But it works and smells better than everything else i have tried.

I have a sheltie he has problem with fungus and odor and scratching with it. This shampoo is to harsh sometimes so I have to watch his skin. I have to spray moisturizer on it. Every dog is different. You are going to have to try and see what is best for your dog. Sometimes I get a shampoo and think it is working good and can use a while and I have to change again. It is frustrating but love my dog. Hope I gave you some insight. Good Luck.

I used it for my 10yr. Old Cocker Spaniel. I bathed him 4 times and he is fine now and I still have some left.

I have a dog and she would go in the garden before i started using it. i would say yes cause it smells bad and i haven't seen my dog go in my garden.

It did help with my dog. But I think it is important to find out where the smell is coming from. My dog had oily and flaky skin (with doggie pimples...seborrhea) and really smelly paws. This solved the oil and skin problem. And with a combo of frequent baths with this shampoo and vigilance with grooming (keeping fur trimmed especially on paws and around pads) has dramatically helped with the smell. Keep in mind that dogs do naturally have odors and so do their feet, so that doesn't go away completely.

This helped with Max, Ausie mix. His coat was greasy, and after a shampoo, his fur was soft. He has long hair. Also helped with the odor.

I have a 7lb chihuahua who isnt really furry or fluffy who I bathe once a week. I usually wash him twice with the shampoo when I bathe him. Really the amount of shampoo I bathe my dog with depends on how dirty or smelly he is. I'm sure the amount of shampoo used with each bath varies with every dog owner and his or her dog. The shampoo lasts a decent amount of time though, about 2 months. I would estimate the shampoo lasting a shorter amount of time for bigger and more fluffy or furry dogs.

Yes, I have had mine for about 6 months. I wash in soap and cold water. Still smells a bit. Some of grass comes out, but not much. It would be easier on me in the long run to take the dog out, but sometimes I can't do that. The dog (1 year old now) does use it.

Both the wash & the dry are scented & the scent can actually linger for a few days although it weakens. Of course, it depends on your dog, too. If a mostly outside dog, I daresay the scent might not linger as long, but I don't know for sure. However, the scents are from natural ingredients. I am not allergic to scents, but I am sensitive to perfumes, colognes, etc. especially the clingy ones. Can't stand them, but I LOVE the smell of both products. I say try it at least once & if it bothers you, you can always give or sell it to a friend, family member, etc.

I bathe my cockapoo once a week (although I have washed her twice a week if she's been into something and is a bit stinky) because they say batheing too often can dry their skin. Some breeds have better skin than other though.

The product itself doesn't impact your dogs shedding, however bathing your dog in warm water or the stress condition of being bathed can trigger a shedding incident or coat "blowout" similar to what happens when you take your dog to the vet (assuming your dog dislikes the vet as much as mine!). Otherwise it's just a great basic shampoo that lathers well and rinses easily and the dog smells great---once you get past the soggy-dog wet fur odor stage of course.

I wouldn't add conditioner if you are new to using this. Give this a chance to work on its own. Im assuming your dog has skin problems. Let the problems go away and then add conditioner. This shampoo doesn't dry out my dog's fur or skin.

Would be good if you could expand on what you mean by body odor. If the odor is a yeasty smell, then yes, this will help to some extent, but candida (yeast) is a much bigger issue than a probiotic can solve. Diet changes are important if that is the problem. I won't go into it here, no reason if that isn't your dog's problem. As far as just regular old 'dog smell', it has been my experience that a proper diet (raw or at least a high quality grain free) go a long way in eliminating that, too. Diet can also keep nasty dog breath to a minimum. I hope you get things figured out! Good luck!

I don't know. My dog is a bichon/poodle mix. I use it after the Earthbath shampoo - squeeze out water after rinsing - then put conditioner in my hands and rub into his hair...I let it sit for awhile and massage him -- he loves it (altho he hates his bath)....then rinse off....towel dry...wrap him in a big hot towel...His reward for putting up with the bath. I brush him before the bath so he really doesn't need much more after that.

Probably not. However if you spray it down with some vinegar full strength, and air it out for a few days, that might kill off some of the old dog smell.

If I were you I would use a medicated shampoo by Virbac. It's for Dermatology issues. I use Virbac, Keratolux on my dog that has the same issues.. wash your dog a few times a week for the first 2 weeks then just when you know he or she needs to be washed. It works really well. I use Earthbath tearless on the face area.
