Dog paw odor

Question
Hi,

I have 2 yr old Labrador that has a strong odor coming from her paws.  I have performed reseach and noticed that most beleive it is from the glands in her feet.  I have seen all kinds of ways to alleviate this odor, but none from a professional.  Could you provide feedback on the cause and possible remedies of this odor.  

Thank You

Answer
Hello Mark - I have a few ideas for you that are all Natural and safe.
First off:  Buy some Tea Tree Oil Shampoo / you can find this at most pet stores... Make sure it is a safe one that is Natural/Holistic.  Give her paws a bath in this shampoo 2 x per week.
Just put her in the tub and do the legs and paws.  She should enjoy this.  

Next, give her some yogurt - 1/2 a cup of Activia Brand per day.  Make sure you find the Active Culutres - no junk yogurt.
Activia makes a great brand if you can find it.  Your lab should love the yogurt.  You can do this every day for 2 weeks.  Then, cut down to just 3 days per week.

Last, NuVET Plus is the BEST skin and Coat supplememnt in the USA.
NuVET is a wafer treat / Immune System Booster -  Yum Yum and all Natural.  This is  guaranteed to help the paws, OR your money back.
Call and order some today - About .60 cent per wafer treat.  Your baby will need 2 wafers per day for the first month.  Then, after 30 days you can cut down to 1 per day.
1-800-474-7044  ( use order code 81098 )  You need an order code because they Don't sell to the public without one.  Most of the time you buy NuVET from Breeders and Groomers or Vets.
They will send it to you in 3-5 days by US Priority Mail
Here is the link- http://www.nuvet.com/81098

Again, NuVET has a Money back Guarantee.
They also sell Tea Tree Oil Shampoo for 9.95 , at the E-Store , in the above link.


Sure hope you follow my directions.  All low cost and Safe for your baby to try.
