You know what really STINKS>??

[ashleycat]

Charlies farts. OMG today is a bad day. All day our house smells like rotten balogna. He had a good past few days w/o farting. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's from the food that he took from my DD lol.. Whatever it is, it stinks.

AND another thing. I think it's his paws that make the dog smell. How do you get those clean? Use just a wash cloth and what else??

oh my gosh! Gracie can fart like nothing else! there have been many time on our way to dogshows we have to pull over to get a breather!LOL

[ashleycat]

And o man, they can be sooo loud. YOu would think he was human. roflol

It's kind of funny we're sitting her talking about dog farts, huh? Alaskas are just... killer! DEATH FARTS! lol

[Chilli]

lol! It probably was something he ate.
Ethan is the worst here when it comes to gas. You can even hear his! He has a sensitive stomach, so he easily aquires gas.

And about the paws... I'm not sure. I wonder why his feet stink. Both of my guys feet don't have any odor to them at all.
Good luck!

His feet are what I'm smelling. Don't they sweat thru their feet??

His skin is flaky, can they get dandrif? Or is it a reaction to something?

Don't worry, I'm taking him to vet for other reasons.

Considering that he has bad gas, itchy/smelly feet, and itchy skin, I think you might want to re-think what you're feeding him... this all sounds like standard reactions to a food allergy!

You should ask your vet about what you could avoid, and you can try out different kibbles and see what works. Nutro Natural Choice is a good product for allergies, because it's widely available (at any Petsmart, Petco, or feed store) and they have lots of formulas that can help allergy-prone dogs. I think you said you feed him Iams? Iams has lots of corn, wheat, by-products, etc etc, which is not nutritional and can easily flare up allergies. Try a Nutro product with Oatmeal, OR you can find Natural Balance at Petco, and they have awesome products for dogs with food allergies.

Also, that's the cutest pic! He's SO adorable

WOW, come to think of it. He did start all this a couple days after I got him. A couple days of Iams. I'll have to tell my mom too. She feeds her Golden retreiver mix this, and he's got skin allergies and she says he smells like :a dog: lol
thanks!!

You know why are Aussie's smell so bad when they do fart? I have come to the conclusion,and it is because they have no tails to muffle the smell lol!!! Lacy farted one night it was hilarious she looked at me it was so loud she scared herself and started sniffing at her rear lol..GOTTA LOVE OUR AUSSIES !!
