Why Your Dog Smells Even After a Bath | Dog Health
Does your dog smell fine for a day or two after a bath, then right back to stinky? It’s easy to assume the fix is another bath, but every wash can strip away the natural oils that protect your dog’s skin, and skin that can’t do its job tends to smell. This conversation with veterinarian Dr. Lisa Chimes, creator of Dog by Dr. Lisa, covers how often most dogs really need a bath, what to do in between, and why a daily brush might be the most underrated thing you can do for your dog’s skin. You’ll hear: Why a dog’s skin dries out more easily than ours, and what that means for the products you use How often short coated and long coated dogs actually need a bath, and what keeps them fresh between washes What a daily brushing habit can catch early, from ticks to new lumps How to show up to the vet with notes and videos so nothing important gets missed Press play if you’re tired of bathing your dog and still wrinkling your nose.
