Question
Hi Maria. We have a 4 month old male puppy that has an odor problem. I have to bathe him at least once a week, although we know its not good to bathe so frequently. We use organic dog wipes on him daily for the wrinkles, paws and entire body; also the body sprays for pets and nothing helps. He will only last about 2 days with a fresh smell, and then he starts smelling like urine. He was just checked by the vet and has no skin problems, ear infections or redness. What can i do to get rid of the smell?  

Answer
English bulldog odor;  English bulldog cleaning ;  shampoo for english bulldog;

Hi - Well, I am glad he has been checked by the vet.  I hear this quesiton often, as bullies do have wrinkles and they tend to have some odors.  Sure, I have a few ideas for you.

1.  Please only wash him every 10 days with a good puppy shampoo.  ( You can even use Johnson and Johnson's Baby shampoo - the NO MORE TEARS..
( In between - yes - baby wipes / the Human kind - unscented... YOU don't need doggie wipes.
Just make sure you get unscented baby wipes.

2.  Every day - place a little bit of corn starch on your hand and pat into his backside and inside his back legs/ pee area.  Yes, just plain old corn starch  -  Dust him with a small amount on the back side and near his tail.
Be creative....

3.  You can also do a corn starch/ and baking soda mix and then place that on your hand and pat onto his bottom area... ( Sounds like we are COOKING ?)

4.  I would love to see this bullie boy go onto the NuVET plus wafers -  Just 1 per day will help the the smell and keep the skin and coat healthy.  NuVET is an immune system booster and allergy blaster.  Loads of bullies take 1 NuVET wafer treat each day.
