Why Your Dog Still Smells After a Bath (2024)

Introduction

In this video I share some tips and information that may help if your dog still smells after washing them. By taking the time to thoroughly brush out the dead coat and dander, your dog will look and feel clean and smooth for weeks after the bath. You'll also notice that they will not smell bad for weeks, even months, after the bath as long as you continue to brush them regularly. It's the brushing that will give you all the results you want - not so much the bath. By brushing more and bathing less, you'll have a fresh smelling dog with less skin issues and a bright, beautiful smooth coat.

Under primary code, the guard hears no I'm, brushing a lot of this dead here out of her right.

What I wanted to shuttle he's? She has a few areas where there's hot spots right and when you, when you comb that area out you see this see how it's like this follicle right there right and then there's like a bundle of hair right, so they grow in bundles.

So this is a little bundle of dead, hair right, I got brushed out, and that's what all of this is you see those little so each one of these, it's like a little bundle of hair, see that a bundle of dead hair what's up Stacia.

So when you get all of this out, you start getting all this cruddy stuff out of their skin right, these scabby stuff, because it's a change of the season.

So that means and I've already combed out her ears and I've only gone through with the comb.

So far, right, hey good morning, Ruth, what's up Stacia, so I wanted to show you what the dead undercoat looks like so here, I pan stripping a little bit weight plucking the dead hair.

It literally looks fuzzy and see how easily comes out in bundles.

Look at that! So that's all dead here, that's a dead undercoat from last season and it's all packed in there.

So when we pull that out now, the skin actually doesn't feel so bumpy or grainy smooth out and does coat the live hairs that are left, they're, shiny and smooth, because this is all that brutal rough hair that holds on to all that smell.

So this is what we're doing what I'm doing before the bath to clear the skin and get rid of a lot of this.

You know old underwear.

So it's basically like like point removing her old underwear before the bat see that see how it easily comes out.

So just to save time at first I'm gonna go through with the comb, see that's a good one, see look at that! It's like a dead, follicle and attached to.

It is a bunch of hair, like a bundle of it here and back here.

You're gonna get a lot of that dead.

Bundles are here catch, so that's what kind of causes them to feel itchy as well, because they got all that dead, hair just packed in those pores making the skin feel tight and uncomfortable so lot of times.

When you see dogs itching themselves back here or there shooting themselves back here.

That's what they're doing they're trying to get this stuff out and just to show you my front legs, I, don't know if you can see that bring it in closer on her front legs, where I combed out a bunch of that did you know there was scabby stuff and you see the it was like packed full with hair see it came out here, there's a hot spot right there and that's where the skin was just so packed full of all that cruddy stuff right here as well, and it looks a little damp because I sprayed some antiseptic spray on it, see that it's, because all of this once I was able to clear all that out.

Now you see like the skin and it's smooth now it's not bumpy and raw, it's actually smooth now and what I sprayed it with, even if I spray antiseptic spray on it- and you know a nice solution.

If all this hair is still packed in that skin, it's not really able to really treat it or do anything.

So after we remove all that dead hair, that's clogging those pores, then, once once that you can once it can actually get to the skin I'm using cure a sub antiseptic spray and it's a top.

It's an antifungal antibacterial anti-inflammatory 'iz, but it's okay on the skin for topical treatment.

Kelly says we get a lot of greasy dogs.

Do you spend the time prepping, or do you go straight to the backlight so just like? If I sprayed this on the legs, their before clearing out the legs of all this dead hair, the pores would have been way too packed full of this dead and all the scabby those dead follicles.

You know.

So, even if I sprayed this on there, it wouldn't have really done any good.

Now that I cleared the lake area out right and I brushed it all out and pulled off that dead, hair out now the skin is clear and I can spray this on there and it's actually gonna treat the skin if I don't brush out the dead hair.

Look at that- oh my god, just came right out of the skin.

Isn't that awesome? Look at that Oh see see this isn't like a little seed.

Almost it looks like a little seed and look how far under that follicle the hair is.

That was all in the skin.

Isn't that crazy, so anyways, but removing this now when I give her a bath, the shampoo toe in the water and the conditioner can actually get down into the skin and treat the skin condition it properly.

But if I wash her without brushing this out, it would be like if I went home tonight and maybe just took this off but kept my undershirt on and my underwear on and took a shower in it.

I took a shower in my dirty underwear.

It wouldn't really do much good, you know, and then let's say I take my underwear underwear off after I get out of the shower.

It would be better than not taking it off at all and just putting new clothes over it.

It would be better than that, but you would get better results by removing the dirty underwear before you took a shower right.

The pill is really thick and so I'm going to use a slicker brush to break it up.

First right girl that way, I, don't pull it until I, so much make her feel uncomfortable with the comb, and this is especially helpful during the change of the seasons during these transition times because their code, so the skin gets its signal from the Sun right.

So once the skin can tell that, there's a change in sunlight in the intensity and the duration of the Sun.

We call it Florida photo periods when the skin and when the dog's skin senses, when the dog's body can can tell that, there's a change in.

Oh man, the photo period, the intensity and the duration of the sunlight.

Then that's the signal that it takes from the Sun to start shading to start releasing some of that dead, undercoat what's up spring spring s, wood, so you can feel you can feel the little dead, follicles and stuff.

You know the cruddy stuff that was in the skin, but anyways once it starts to change.

Once the weather starts to change the time the season starts to change, then they go through a coat change so that they stay fresh.

They have fresh new underwear for the new season so that by the what time winter comes in you know the colder season they'll have their new fresh underwear, their undercoat grow man for the protection see.

So what we move today will be replaced by new underwear, new, fresh undercoat, so that it'll be it'll, be there to protect her during the winter and then during the heart of the winter they say: December, 21st and June 21st longest in the shortest days of the year.

You know that's far, sunlights concern, though that's the day where the shedding Peaks they cover do say that that's the peak shedding day.

So when that happens again, they're going to start shedding they're gonna start releasing the hair right undercoat so that during the springtime we start seeing this again in the spring.

That way they have a new fresh undercoat summer and that's how they stayed clean and fresh good girl.

So first I go through with the comb.

If it's really thick and the comb catches too much, then I break it up with the slicker brush first, so it doesn't make her feel too uncomfortable.

So remove all this first girl and I've already gone through both front legs.

Well, you can see like the like, powdery blink, like little seeds like little brown seeds almost coming out of the skin and it attached to it.

It's like a bundle of hair, a bundle of dead here all dead here, so each follicle produces about 12 heirs, one to two primary hairs, and then anyone from my 17 to 12 secondary hairs that undercoat the fine hair that protects them.

It's kind of like goose down feathers.

You know how goose down feathers are for like protection insulation things like that temperature control so same thing with the dogs under code, the secondary hairs, it's kind of like the down feathers, goose or anything bird.

What brushes do you use a like, so I'm, using a greyhound comb right now, right, I have just this I, don't know you're a universal slicker brush right and then, and then after I'm done with this I like to go through a real quick with undercoat rakes, just to just to get some of that undercoat out some more of it before the bath, the more I can get before the bad, the better results.

The back is gonna.

Give me see more of this.

Oh wow.

Look at that! I! Don't know if you can see that little follicle right there well Steve pretty much the root of that dead root of the hair.

Can you see those well a little specs? So that's what I like to do and then once I get her dry and I comb her out again and I'll probably use the undercoat race again.

I like to finish with this little furminator type tool- and this one is called sure-grip I- think but yeah I like to finish with this.

Just it really does help them feel much better, because all of that packed inside that scan makes their skin feel tight and uncomfortable, and that's when you start to see the dog pitch yeah.

These are scratching themselves here, with their back leg.

You know we start licking themselves and shooting themselves and then, when they start licking and chewing themselves, especially like around here and back here, you'll start to see the brown spots you'll start to see hot spots, because there's saliva has bacteria and when they start chewing themselves here to try to help get some of this dead hair out right, but by helping they're not really helping, because when they chew it out with their teeth and their user and they use their mouth and lick.

Now the bacteria and the saliva causes that area to turn brown and you get a hot spot.

It's okay! You know you comb it out, and then you can also use your fingers and just kind of pull those dead hairs out clone.

So it just comes right out right and then once the area is clear, you can spray that hot spot with antiseptic spray and then after the bath, while she's still wet I'm, gonna spray, those areas again and then dry it on her and then it'll really help heal.

That area nicely I'm working on like zero hours of sleep I, don't know what the deal was last night, but I just could not fall asleep.

Oh my goodness and then I started just trying to breathe.

You know focus on my breathing I just kept on myself like breathe in breathe out.

You know how to focus on my breath my breath, and you know you can only do that for so long and it's just like my mind, started wandering of course, and then I started thinking about things and you know and just kept trying to tell myself.

You know just just relax, just sleep and I just for some reason: I couldn't fall asleep last night and so then around.

Like 2:00 3:00 in the morning, you know I use the restroom and then I turned off some like sleep meditation like sleep affirmations and it kind of helped I all you know, I'm this big soft music and some positive affirmations, and that start that kept me up.

You know the the boys saying: another affirmation would kind of startled me awake, oh man and so turn that off that's a good look at that see that see that it's like a root net dead, root right and then all of this behind that that was what was in the skin.

So all of that was in the skin, see that there's like a little bundle of hair right there from that root.

Anyways yeah, but instead of feeling upset or frustrated I just took myself.

You know what this is good because after today, this dog and I have another one: big room, I'm gonna be really tired, and that means I'm gonna get a really good sleep.

You know so just trying to always stay positive.

You know it's like it is what it is right: I'm, not falling asleep anyways.

Why be mad about it? You know, let's just work with it: ok I think that's what it's also what's uh, why it's important to have work that you care about that really matters to you, because now that I'm starting to get into it I'm working using my body sweating, you know it's like yeah.

It's like I feel that rush of energy, just slides right out of the skin, see that bacon see that crazy.

So how'd your welcome spring.

It's pretty desolate! So yeah! That's what I'm doing right now, so I'm just gonna go through and finish getting her all cooling and carted out and then give her a bag and then go through and drop and dry her and then finish her up, see you guys.

I literally just got back from the bath from out of the shower, and so now she is towel dried and we just have to dry her up now dried her up and then kind of just shake her feet and she's done so now.

There's all the easy parts.

So by doing all that, prep work and combing out all that deck here, alright see I'm still catching some, but not much.

Let's see by getting all that dead hair out before the bath check this out, ninis I got a trash bag.

Full of it see.

This dense, brittle, smelly, hair fall, dead, hair right shopping bag, full of it like getting all of that out before the bath.

Now she feels so silky smooth and clean.

She smells so nice right and she's gonna dry in no time so before I dried her.

What I'd like to do? Where did I put it? Oh here it is so I like to follow the nails, because, while the nails are still wet and I clip them so because I clip the nails before the bath, they have a little sharp cut to them.

But it's soft now because it's absorb the water, because the nail bed has been opened up by that cut.

So now it's kind of soft, so it's gonna final really nicely so I'm gonna go ahead and follow the nails before I dry, her and she's, literally inter drying.

Right now, as we speak, so it'll give me a little more time to let her air dry, so the drawing won't even take that long literally by following the steps step, one build rapport, you know, make sure she's, okay with me and trust me and then step two, the very first visit.

Oh my god, she tried to jump off the table to try to attack me a few times.

You know, let's try like snap at me and I'm it being growling.

That was our very first visit now I mean good friends, now anyways um, so by my building rapport.

So she cooperates with me and she trusts me and then prepping the skin by combing out all that dead hair and getting all that dander the dead follicles out of there then the bath.

It's not is so easy right and she said she goes really nice and clean.

Look at how clean she is.

Everything just feels smooth.

The skin feels smooth these hot spot areas that were kind of red and raw earlier they're, all nice and smooth and clean you now, and so now we have a really nice clean, smooth dog and all we got to do is drag her up, but before I do that I'm gonna file, her nails.

So, okay, now because vanilla, like I, said it's already clipped and it's been stopped because of the water, that's soaked in that hill, that sharp edge so now literally the stroke treatment spoon it out the edges girl.

Well even this used to be a being anymore deal with the to his challenge, but she was scared and she didn't like it believe this just routine, now, good job girl, oh good girl.

My honestly was not expecting it to be this easy.

This is kind of a surprise to me, because this used to be such an ordeal seriously.

She would pull her feet away.

She would tuck it under spin.

You know trying to like mouth at me.

I mean this was a real big challenge at before, but now the thing had the same activity that used to take a lot longer because I have to work whatever and calm her down and really work like a snail slowly onto this process.

Before it's more familiar to her, it's not so scary anymore.

No, we're done good job girl, Wow.

That was easy.

Surprisingly, Wow.

Okay, that's awesome! So let me just toggle try her a little bit more she's, still a little damp.

Okay, that was awesome.

Girl, I'm, trying to lay the hair down as I'm drying, trying to lay it down in the direction that I want it to lady.

Well, so when she, when I first started driving when she was soaking, wet yeah, I did kind of scrub a little bit to get all that water off, but now that she's, just damn I'm gonna use the towel to dry her but also kind of brush her as well brush the hair in the direction that I wanted to lay there we go everything we do is with that info in mind, to have her hair lading and the angles that a suit should be laying to help highlight accentuate her natural angles.

You know her natural beauty, good girl, so even towel drying is not done.

Aimlessly now to dry.

It's gonna get a little all right.

So now she is all dry and even though I was combing pretty thoroughly, this is all I got out of her entire body.

Isn't that awesome Tania done you need earplugs.

Oh, it's just a hand.

Dryer though well, isn't that awesome and now she's all dry and super silky smooth.

Oh, my goodness like look at this like butter just goes through like butter, and she feels so soft and silky.

Oh man love this even her ears and right here, like under her chin, bro, hey, what's smelling pretty bad earlier, had a really strong smell gone.

You can't smell nothing.

What kind of smells like mangoes a little bit there we go, and so you start with the hot air and then I finish with the medium.

The warm air and sometimes I'll go through with the cool air as well, but you know she's feeling really good nice yeah, the the medium, the warm air.

It was a lot harder, a little harder than the hot air, so I like to turn it on the medium and the cold air blows even harder.

So then it kind of helps.

You know, separate those hairs and give it a really nice soft finish.

So I guess that's one of the few times where it's a good thing that it blows harder, yeah man this blow is so hard.

Well in this case is a good thing.

Uh, let's see why no HP dryer uh I had one the Box one that I carry around, but it's just heavy and it's loud and just you know, cause a big mess sometimes, and so you know I, just don't like carrying that big thing.

I already have a big bag full of towels and all that stuff that ring in another backpack and my table.

How do you have enough and I want to bring? You know, bring everything in one trip.

So that's why I? Like that hand, dryers pick my bag, and it doesn't even take that long.

You know shoot she's all dry now because of the prep, because of all that dead here, I pulled out before the bath.

She dried so easily and nicely taking a beautiful doggie mine is the same, but black and eat will eat my face if I take more than five minutes to brush and I, don't even think about touching the nails she was like that too, and you know the very first time when I was brushing her.

She was like you know, very vocal and just didn't like it, but now you know because she knows how good it feels now, when she's all come down brush down, she doesn't fight for her nails anymore.

You know it's just building up to this.

She wasn't like this the first few times so anyways.

That's how I dry her and you see that every because I front-load the process I front note the work I do all that hard heavy work in the beginning by getting all of that dead code out now you know the drawing is easy.

The nails already filed all I have to do now is just kind of shape up the pads and the paws a little bit make them wrong and she's done.

She's, good, um and okay I get that awesome.

Yes, now literally I'm, pretty much done.

I just have to you know just a little bit.

Oh you look so beautiful! Look at you girl, oh my goodness! Oh the paws are so nice and round.

You are so silky smooth.

Oh, my goodness girl, Wow! Look at you! Oh my goodness! I was all but get you daffodil, so beautiful, oh I love.

You girl, you.
