I didn't think that your dog would smell. I mentioned that Gigi smelled from living on newspapers and never being bathed, she was a BYB dog that I rescued.
Maybe you could try the Liperderm to see if that cuts back on the shedding. I know I see a difference with both of mine since they have been on it for the past few weeks. It has all the extra Omega oils in it. I buy the capsules. Princess won't eat her food with it on, so I have to down her a pill. With Gigi I break open the capsule and mix it into her food, she eats anything, lol -------Original Message------- From: Valerie Mockett Date: 2/27/2011 12:24:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Shedding Peggy, Glad to hear that. She does not smell at all. Like said she is very clean little dog with a shedding problem.

I read some where that since they have natural oils to their skin, more so then a lot of other breeds, they are not suppose to be bathed monthly, but only a couple of times a year I never was sure if that was true or not. With Gigi, she looked like she hadn't been bathed in a year. Her tummy skin was actually black from living on newspapers, and it took 3 baths to get rid of that awful doggie odor. Now I have been working on the dry skin, which is finally getting less and less. -------Original Message------- From: Valerie Mockett Date: 2/27/2011 12:06:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Shedding I have to confess I don't bath Lola regularly.

Don’t be upset…I wish that Dolly wouldn’t shed so much. Do you bathe them often? If so, maybe the dead hairs come out during their baths.

Both Mouse and Myrtle are short haired and neither shed much at all. They do get brushed with a boar bristle brush in the mornings but hardly any hair comes out...I am a little worried!
