Question
i have a German shepherd and he has a big problem,he is smelling very bad, never saw a dog what smell so bad, like a toilet, and he scratch very much, what should i do about this?

Answer
Hi Alexandra
Sounds like he has a skin problem. My first suggestion is to take him to the vet. Secondly you can bathe him in dawn dish washing liquid, or another citrus based dish washing liquid, let it set for five minutes and rinse. Then moisturize him really well with a great conditioner. Do that once a week and see if it doesn't help.Aveeno is also a wonderful thing to soak him in once a week. I bet he needs an antibiotic, so I would take him to the vet for a check up
