Dog odour, this is very subjective. I find a lot of new dog owners have this complain. No matter what, a dog will have doggy smell. If your dog smells even after bath it could only mean two things; 1) is as I've mentioned above, 2) the grooming process is not thorough. Dirty and/or infected ears are really smelly. Anal gland too needs to be clean out (express) regularly. The pus stinks like hell and small amount oozes out regularly. When impacted, you'll see the dog dragging it's backside (scoot) on the ground occasionally. Expressing the anal gland should ideally be done by a Vet or a trained groomer if you are not sure.

Suspecting could be the dried dog food which we feed her. Cannot remember the brand because given by the shop owner when we purchased her. Would appreciate it if someone could advise me what should i do about the puppy's odour. Thanks.
