Speaking of dogs...

[Guest guest]

We have a big old stinky dog. He's a German Shepard/Chow mix so he is big

and hairy (beautiful red hair). He's 10 years old and the older he gets, the

stinkier he gets, I am so frustrated. He's an inside dog so I can't figure

out where the stink comes from. Anyway, can anyone recommend a good

cleansing bar and EO's that are safe to use on him? I'm paranoid the stinky

smell will seep into our carpets (if it hasn't already, ugh!)

TIA!

Oh no! That doesn't give me much hope :-( Oh well, I too have noticed the same thing, he definitely stinks through all that I've tried - was hoping someone else had an idea. I did find that the Burt's Bees insect repellent worked better than anything else though. Guess we'll have to live with it till he's gone...then we'll probably miss it (not really ;-)

Thanks!

I had a stinky dog who was a Chow/Shepherd mix .. Nugget (God/dess rest her soul, she passed naturally in my arms the same day Princess Diana died) I'll tell ya what was REALLY good to help control her doggie smell .. and worked for weeks on end ... Aubrey Brand Dog Shampoo AND the Aubrey Dog Conditioner. She also had an eczema type skin condition that she was treated by a homeopathic vet for, and these products not only was non-irritating to her skin, but it actually seemed to soothe her condition, especially the conditioner

Hi Jennifer,

 

The age has a funny way of making a great big dog a great big stinky

dog sometimes )

 

There are many eos you can use, but I do have one question. What do

you feed your dog?

 

I will not suggest shampooing too often as this can cause more

problems for most dogs. I will suggest rinsing him with filtered

water (or a herbal blend) and misting him with a spray to freshen him

up. You can use Lavender and Atlas Cedarwood as they are very good

for skin and also for bad odors ) (I also add Patchouli, Rose

Geranium, Cypress to those eos after Mundo rolls around with her

doggy pal in the park).

 

I will also suggest brushing him 3 times a week at least. You can use

the same eos lightly in a carrier oil and use it as perfume if you

like 2 drops on his neck and 2-3 on his back and massage it in. Just

keep it away from his nose, eyes etc. You can also use powder on him

before you brush him down. We use arrow root here and I do add some

eos in it. I also feed a home cooked diet and feel that while outside

care is important, feeding can make or break a dog. I thank my dog

for teaching me everything I know )

 

I hope this helps you some. Good luck.

I 100% agree!!!!!!!!

Same goes for cats .. did you know that most commercial foods on the market

are made from either indigestible products, or lowest grade by products of

foods and meats?

 

Either get a brand of pet food that does not contain any meat by products

(that classification of meats includes everything from pressure cooked

eyelids to tumors, I kid you not), or does not contain corn as the first

ingredient (ground up cob is considered corn for pet foods - it is

indigestible) or artificial preservatives (such as BHT) and artificial

colors (they can cause many skin and behavioral problems - like in people)!

 

Or get a book like " Natural Health For Dogs And Cats " by Pitcarin and

Pitcarin DVM, which has easy, inexpensive, healthy, appetizing recipes to

cook for your dogs and cats.

Oh yes I do! That is what made me trade my chef's hat - that and my

GSD got seriously ill due to carpet freshener and to make it worst

developed food allergies and skin allergies.

 

I get calls all day long here asking me if my dog grooming products

will cure their dogs and sadly I have to tell them the same thing I

tell everyone. It all starts with your dogs internal health. There

are exceptions, rashes due to detergents and fragrance in grooming

supplies, inhalant allergies (mold, dust etc.) - but than I do have a

list of things I fax or e-mail people on that.

 

I do have info on BHT and BHA on our site as well as many other

cosmetic ingredients that can cause harm

It is quite scary about the commercial pet food industry. Quite

upsetting too

 

Woof!

Hi Sevi, I couldn't agree with you more. I used to think Natures Own was the best dog food in town, and still do think it's great ( lamb & rice formula) but I just started feeding my animals a new holistic dog food ( and cat food ) called Solid Gold, and also use some of their supplements. I'm really sold on it. BTW, Chris said to be prepared to introduce myself, since i'm new to tha list, and I think you all will recognize me as Deonia, Bubbles & Wax With Style. If not, you might want to check out my homepage on AOL to kinda see where I'm coming from. That addy is.......HTTP://WWW.HOMETOWN.AOL.COM/sadiefluggins ( Sadie Fluggins is one of my screen names I use when I am cybersurfing and don't want anyone to know who I really am) I'm also one of Butch's biggest fans, and as soon as I can get into the "edit" mode of my homepage, will add Chris's "addy" to my favorite sites.

If I have any???????? honey, i got a zoo ! LOL. 14 years ago I bought a red-nosed pit bulldog to raise as a guard dog. She has been the best animal I have ever owned. She's not a vicious animal, but extreamly protective of me and her house and car. {{{{{{{{{ grin }}}}}}}}. she's yur buddy as long as I'm smiling, but, if I ain't smiling, you'd better be running! I also have adopted an amputee Sheltie and a big, loveable, Marmaduke type of long-haired mix that lives only to be petted. I also have rescued a beautiful Hemingway, six-toed female cat who promptly presented me with a little bundle of six-toed joy i call The Tasmanian Devil cat, And she is not mis-named ! I also, have just acquired a precious little black alleycat that belonged to my , now deceased, boss. She called her Kissi-kat, but I call her Switchblade! I think she was born in the getto, She's only a few months old and , upon arriving in my house, decided to whip everybody's butt and let them all know who's boss! {{{{{{{{{ laughing }}}}}}}}} I hope to GOD no one else needs a home! My neighbors might not understand. LOL And I know I will like it here, Chris is a sweet gal. Deonia

We all thought the food our vets or breeders told us was the best as

well, but have figured out that there are other options out there. I

am so happy to hear you are trying different things and care enough

to do this for your canine buddy ( and feline too if you have any).

 

Welcome to the list, you sure will love it here )

I am a social animal, but my feelings have ups and its downs when it

comes to humans - I pretty much can read most dogs and feel

comfortable knowing that when respected their space, I can always

find a middle ground with them. Also 99.99% of the time, I can

actually smile when I see a dog - woof!

 

Stay safe and hugs to your animals :-)

I know what you mean. We've two cats and a dog. We recently lost our beloved collie at nearly 16 years. Her back legs just went. It's so sad. One of the cats went around yowling for two days and then was OK, the other wasn't bothered but the remaining dog! She just looks so o o o o o sad. She came to us at 6 weeks and has never known life without the collie. She's a bit of a lost soul. I've been treating her with essences (not essential oils) and am waiting for someone to send me a special remedy for her. I expect we'll get another dog because although she is grieving (arent we too!) for the collie, I think she just needs another dog around.

Yes, they grieve just as we do. I was just able to place the two little dogs that belonged to my friend who died. They wern't actually hers, she took them when her sister had to go to a nursing home, but they had been together all their lives and I was determined that they stay together. Just so happens that the lady who took them, who already has 16 dogs and over 100 cats but she took them anyway, was left a large enough sum of money to build a new facility which will be named after my friend. I couldn't begin to count the number of animals that went through her tiny hands while she was alive. deonia

Hi Ann,

 

>>She's a bit of a lost soul.

 

I know what you mean! I lost my 12 year old toy poodle " Cinnamon " at

the end of July of this year. She was 3 pounds + 1000 pounds of love!

I felt lost, but Mundo stopped eating and would not get up at all and

Mundo is full of energy all the time!

 

It was hard for me to tend to her needs as I was also hurting. So I

did lay on the sofa for a week, refusing to eat or talk and just

cried, but than noticed that Mundo was sooooo sad also. So I had to

get up and tend to her and dragged myself out often and took her to

our play ground 3 times a day. By playing with her and keeping her

out of the house for a while, she did feel better and to my surprise

I too started to heal.

 

But it all takes time - a long time!

 

I hope that your dog will feel better soon

Sorry on my tardy response--have been pretty sick the last couple weeks and

am just now catching up on some of the emails.

 

I had a Sheltie and he was the most behaved, mild mannered, protective dog I

had ever had. Love him to pieces. I now have a party cocker (red/white)

who turned 13 in April. She is still doing very well and yes, just as

wonderful as my sheltie. Love--more from her than I ever got from my ex!!!

She has licked away my tears many times and gets really close to me when she

knows I am 'off' or down a little. I have debated getting another dog

before her time comes but really feel it wouldn't be fair to her. I, too,

couldn't live without animals. My daughter is worse than I am. Right now

she has 6 dogs, 4 cats, guinea pig, hamster and a snake besides a 10 year

old and 7 year old twin girls plus her husband. She has a day-care

besides!!

 

I thank my best friend for all the animals he placed on this earth for us to

enjoy and learn from.
