Question
I am wounding if it is something we are feeding our dog. She eats Purina one Puppy, and Iams. she smells even after she is bathed or taken to the groomer. I can't stand to have her in the house. She has been to the vet and spayed and they haven't said anything. could it be what she is eating.She also has dried chicken strips for dogs as a snack.Cna we give her a vitimin or something?

Answer
Ear infections can cause a terrible smell that can't be bathed away.  I would think the vet or groomer would have caught that one.  Neither the Purina 1 or the Iams cause other dogs problems and shouldn't be causing yours to smell.  Most dogs will thrive on most chows.  Sometimes an individual dog does react poorly to a certain chow or ingredient.  What are you feeding, the common lamb?  Perhaps try a beef based brand.  

Modern chows are formulated to provide everything a dog needs.  Adding any suppliments such as vitamins is likely to do more harm than good.
