["388"]Q-I`m accepting a botheration with my little poodle. She is a cantankerous amid a toy and a teacup, belief alone 5 pounds. She has a actual bad odor on her body. I arrested with two vets, who were clumsy to annihilate the odor. One vet said it ability be advancing from the dog`s aerial and recommended an ear medication, but this didn`t help. Another vet said the dog was bistro the amiss aliment and put her on a appropriate diet. That didn`t advice either. I asked the dog groomers, and they said that because of my dog`s age (7), her bark is breaking down, and there`s annihilation we can do about the odor.
Because she is so small, the dog gets algid calmly and is consistently acid a sweater. I anticipation this could be the problem, but my bedmate won`t let her go afterwards the sweater because he thinks she needs it. She does blemish a lot, which leads me to accept she ability accept dry bark or be allergic to something. Alike the day afterwards a ablution she has that aforementioned odor.

But I am anxious about your agriculture the bodies dog food, admitting it makes up alone about a third of the circadian meal.
I anticipate it would be abundant convalescent for the bodies to use the dry cat aliment abject entirely, rather than application allotment dog aliment and allotment cat food.
