I bathe my Murphy every week, but somehow he always ends up with a doggy odor within a day. That is until I tried Fresh n' Clean. So far, that scent has been hanging around for 5 days. Unfortunately, I do not like the scent. It is strong and smells like flea shampoo to me. Also, it seems to make him itchy.

Before this I was using Veterinary formula, which made his fur so soft , and it did not cause any problems. But, it does not retain a nice scent on Murphy. He will go out for a fast walk and come in all sweaty smelling.
I know that the smell is not a health problem, ears, breath or anal glands. He is perfectly fine. I think that there is a possibility that he is having a drop or two of exitement urine in his kennel and rolling in it. sometimes I think that he may do it on purpose to get rid of the clean smell.:banghead:.
If I could just find something that keeps him smelling fresh but still keeps his skin and fur conditioned that would be great. Any suggestions?

I absolutely LOVE Dirty Hairy green tea & lime. I use the shampoo, conditioner and spray. The products are all natural and also work as a bug repellent.

I use Avoderm. It is a natural shampoo and my dogs smell good for a couple of weeks after a bath. You can get it at Petco.

We use Hydrosurge. They have a lot of different formulas. Right now we have the mango peach shampoo/conditioner and it smells great. The scent lasts for about a week on our dogs. It works great, too. We get it at Wal-Mart for $6 a bottle. I actually find that it takes much less shampoo to totally lather up than other shampoos we have tried and the bottle lasts a lot longer than other brands.

Here is their web site that shows all of the different shampoos and conditioners they have:

Wow, how would you choose just one? I would have to bathe my dogs daily to find out what smell I like the best!

The last time DH went shopping without me, I asked him to pick up some dog shampoo since we were running low. He called me from Wal-Mart and asked me which one I wanted and I had him read them all off to me. There had to have been about 20 of them. I had to have him repeat some of them because I couldn't remember them all. I guess he was getting some pretty funny looks from people in the pet section! :bowl:

Well, I guess I'll have to head to Walmart tomorrow before class and give the kids a bath after we work out. They need it anyway!

Tonight is bath night here! I rally, really love the mango-peach formula. It's the green one. The dogs smell like a tropical fruit basket for a week after!

Try diluting the shampoo with vinegar instead of water if doggie smell is an issue. As for scents, the best bet is to get a conditioner spray with your fav smell and spray the coat after they've dried. I have yet to find a good shampoo/conditioner that leaves a lot of perfume in the coat, but at work we have 4-5 scents to choose from...

I got turned onto Ice on Ice by a blind man who uses it on his seeing eye dog. The stuff is amazing for between bath freshening! I also find that waterless shampoos (I also use the comfy dog waterless shampoo) work better diluted.

We just bought some Pet Effects holiday stuff from Pet Edge and it smells SUPER GOOD. It makes it smell like Christmas! LOL. I love it.

We got the Sugar Plum Forest.

I agree with what you said about dogs rolling in something smelly after they are bathed. I think what smells good to us doesn't have the same effect on our dogs.
