My dog still smells like poo!!?
Okay so a few days ago Annie was playing outside, rolled in some poo and got it all over her collar and her neck...we gave her a bath and scrubbed her down well, with anti-flea shampoo but afterwards she still stank! So the next day we gave her another bath but she still stinks of poo! It doesnt look like there's any on her and she hasn't worn her collar since. Does anyone know why she still smells!

Been there. Still go there. Golden Retriever rolls in feces from time to time. First of all, make sure you wash that collar or replace it.
Second, you need a shampoo (which you can buy at your local Petsmart or Petco) that is formulated to help get rid of odors such as feces.
I can't get the smell of feces off my hands without using bleach. So I know how bad this smell can be to get rid of.
Get the strongest *odor killing* shampoo. Pick up a bottle Simple Solution Cat Stain and Odor Remover. I am suggest *CAT* because this stuff will get rid of the smell of cat urine which is the worst smell to get rid of.
Mix the some shampoo with some Simple Solution, add some white vinegar and DAWN Dish Detergent.
Soak your dog then apply the mixture. Rub it into the skin and saturate the hair. Let it stay on for a minimum of 5 minutes. Rinse.
That should do the trick. Let me know.

That is probably not poo but something dead. Dogs think of it as perfume, yuck, right?!? Vinegar is the best thing for this. Soak a towel w/ a 1 part water 1 part vinegar solution and wrap around the dogs nec & let it sit for 15 minutes and then bathe with Dawn dish soap. Has to be Dawn. Repeat as many times as you need to. I would just get a new collar but if you just gotta keep it then soak it in straight vinegar for 15 minutes then use the Dawn. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Do you by any chance still use a crate with this dog?
Plastic is WONDERFUL at absorbing scents. If the dog was allowed in her crate prior to her thorough bath, then it's the crate that is making her stink now.
Clean the crate, bathe the dog, throw the collar into the washing machine, and this should stop.

Why are you using anti-flea shampoo over and over again? It's not for deodorizing, it's medication, therefore it's not going to get rid of the smell and it may even harm/irritate your dog and it's skin. Go get some good quality puppy shampoo like Pet Head, it smells like blueberry muffins.

maximum canine consume and sniff yet another canine poop. it fairly is extremely organic for them to try this. My canine do it for all time. yet to maintain your canine from doing it there is an merchandise that keeps them from doing that.... you basically sprinkle it on your canine meals that makes the poop odor undesirable and unappealing.. I dont bear in mind the call of the object yet you need to purchase it at a typical puppy shop.. was hoping that helped!
