    I have a feeling food has a TON to do with it. Our old lady (my childhood dog) was on Medi-cal for years and she always had a distinct odor. When I finally switched her to Orijen when she was 14 she lost a lot of her odour.

    My dogs smell of dog! No matter what i do. We live in the country and they roll in everything, play in the creek, mud and field.

    Houd dogs usualy have a musky smell. Maybe try some water with citrus juice. I mix about 1/4 cup of lime/lemmon juice with a dab of orange extract with 3-4 cups of water. I think it makes them smell good! and the fleas hate the acidicness of the mixture so it helps with that as well!

    My dogs also have that same houndie smell. I tried new shampoo, Fresh and Clean (fresh scent) by Lambert Kay and they do smell noticeably better!

    I'm with Abi I love me some hound dog smell. I think she will get better with the raw, Turtle has never smelled to bad Maddie has some what of an oder. Sometimes I think it is worse with older hounds. My Abigail use to have the best hound smell, I would bury my face in her neck and take a big wiff man do I miss that, what I wouldn't give to have that again.

    Lucky smelled like a dog pretty bad before switching to raw. My guess is Willow will always smell a bit, but it will be less with eating raw. Lucky still has a bit of a smell, but not nearly as bad as when she was eating kibble. A good bath will always help for a few days!
