How can I get rid of a doggy odour?

Another question about Archie...

I've been taking advice and haven't been bathing him so frequently, but I was just wondering if there's anything I can use apart from chalk to keep him fresh between baths? He's getting a slight 'doggy' odour, nothing terrible or anything but is tere anything I can do to keep him smelling fresh without bathing him?

Personally I just love the smell of 'dog' and don't find it at all offensive - even hot, wet dog. But you can try baby wipes to keep him smelling sweet.

@ SB

Are baby wipes OK for his skin? I don't really want him to smell 'sweet' or anything lol, but perhaps neutralise smells before they get too strong

I use Bicarb on his beard but I'm reluctant to use it all over...

I have a grooming spray for Star. Can you use something like that on Archie?

Oooh what's the grooming spray? That sounds good, where's it from?

You can also get 'quick bath' wipes.
Like wet-ones, for doggies!

the one I have is a lavender and citronella spray. Its good for keeping fleas and ticks at bay. I think you can get them in most pet shops but you would need to see if they are suitable for Archie's coat.

ooh where do you get those from Hevvur?

Time to do some internet shopping

I actually l know someone that uses those sheets you put in tumble dryer(don't want to advertise ) but if you had a rubber ball it would do this anyway she just wipes the dog over with one and puts it into the dog basket to keep her dog smelling nice. Ohh and a tip, if you have one of these sheets in your top pocket or say in your bra strap (this of course is for the women) apparently it keeps bees/wasp/flies/ midges away from you during the summer?

What sort of smell either I am immune after all these years or Amy has no smell. She has a feint odour of Teetree cos I wipe a drop on her before walks and never get fleas. I love the milky smell of puppies, and the soft smell on the top of a dogs head between the ears I imagine Archie has that too But then I like the smell of fresh sweat on a man so I may not be the best judge
