Dog Smell

I have just bought a puppy having never owned a dog before and it stinks, i have bathed it several times now it scratches like mad and is biting itself, should I bath it in TCP now?

Good grief no, have YOU ever bathed in TCP?

Why does it stink?

Where did you buy it from?

How old is it?

think we need a bit more info!

where did you get the puppy from? what type of puppy is it? how old is it?

has it been treated for fleas etc?

agree with others it most likely needs flea and wormer treatment, I would go along to the vets and let them check him/her over and advise. Bathing a puppy several times is not really suitable anyway and will dry up its natural oils in his/her coat, so this could be a factor to him/her scratching too.

Hay - if you bathed a puppy in TCP you could be reported to the RSPCA!

Have you done any research on puppy care? Looked online at any of the many websites on how to look after dogs?
And does "it" have a name?

Wind up right?

I was joking about the TCP, byt please what can i do to help the pup, she is wormed and flea treated.

take her to the vet?

Are you sure its not just what we call ''puppy smell'' sorry but can I ask why didn't you do some research before taking her...not being picky, but it would of been wise.

Have you had the wormer and flea treatment form the vet as ones from the petshops are not as efficient

Surely a wind up. Puppies smell gorgeous.. well, mine did, even when he didnt.
