Today we’re diving nose-first into one of the most common (and misunderstood) issues: Why Do Dogs Get Stinky?! 

Whether your dog's been rolling in mystery goo, battling stubborn yeasty ears, or struggling with something deeper under the surface — there's usually more to that "doggy odor" than meets the ... nose 😜

In this episode I will also share some surprising, but often common, root causes of stinky dogs and why a medicated bath might not being doing what you think — and what to do instead. 

So, if you’re tired of the itch, the stink, and the constant vet visits, this episode is for you and your dog! Let’s bust some myths, explore some solutions, and get your dog back to smelling like a wildflower.

Essential Takeaways:

  • Diet matters! Processes, high-carb foods can lead to skin issues and that infamous doggy odor.
  • Yeast (Malassezia) overgrowth is often secondary, not the root cause-address the underlying health and environmental factors.
  • Don’t overlook spinal health! Injuries or tight muscles can actually contribute to skin problems and persistent odors.
  • If your dog has persistent skin issues, ask your vet for a full blood workup to rule out thyroid or adrenal problems.
  • Don’t jump straight to antifungals or antibiotics-restore balance to the skin’s microbiome first.
