Default Smelly Yellow Labrador

Hi all

Am hoping to get some help with my 'smelly' yellow labrador.

Bonnie is just over 2 years of age and my husband appears to have become
allergic to her in recent months. He said she might have to go, but I
bought him some allergy pills. :-)

Bonnie appears to be a bit itchy but has no rash or redness of her skin.

We gave her a good wash with a quality shampoo, rinsed her then put some
conditioner on her this evening, but she still smells very 'doggie'.
We've been washing her about once a month because of this smell problem,
but it doesn't seem to be helping.

Any ideas anybody please?

Cheers

Karen

My suggestion would be to have a 6 panel thyroid test run...sounds like my
young Doberman...baths only helped for the day...oily coat, very itchy...

Good luck...thyroid medication has certainly turned my young guy around!
