QuestionAm looking after a 10 year old chocolate brown lab. She has returned to me with a very strong odor.(like a doggi smell but much stronger) Owner recently had anal glands squeezed. Lab has swum a lot in river. owner has bathed her but smell persists. Owner changed food to Iams. I fed her Hill's adult light. Dog seems well and active. a Strong smell only started 2 months ago. Am puzzled, can you advise please.
AnswerCan you track the smell down to something like ears or feet? It's also possible if the dog has a thick coat, to have a fungus infection on the skin.
If she has been bathed and smells bad still, I might have a vet look at it to rule out any medical conditions.
