Hello
Gino is our 1 yr old boxer. He seems to get smelly pretty quick. Maybe it's because we live in an apartment so I notice it more. After we pet him you can smell him all over your hand. I know dogs are animals so they have a smell but it's clearly different. Just a few days after a bath he gets pretty stinky. I do know that he sweats. When we aren't home he must sweat from a bit of anxiety because that's always when it's the worst. It's not a gas smell but clearly a body odor. I don't want to switch foods at this point because Blue Buffalo seems to be working pretty well....but will if I have to.
I also noticed that his coat doesn't seem to be as tight and shiny as other boxers. Does anyone have a good shampoo for this? What can cause this?
Also. A few weeks ago we noticed Gino's paws bleeding. It was right around the base of the nails. Like where we have cuticles. It always seemed to happen after we walked him. We do notice now that he refuses to walk over the de-icer(salt) all over the place at our apartment. At this point can we think it's because of the salt and ice?
Thank you
Advice/recommendations...greatly appreciated.
