Welcome to the world of EPI!!!! THe best way to get rid of the stench is to get SID under better control.... some dogs stink to high heaven even when it appears that all is well... while others don't.

Masking the smell just doesn't really work. sorry.

Some of the things to try is:
pre+Probiotics
B12
increased enzymes
change of food
antibiotics... but you really don't want to give dogs anti's unless absolutely necessary

Many times the stench eventually goes away on it's own once the EPI protocol has been followed for a while and things come under better control.... at other times, i think, maybe we just get acclimated to the stink...............

what you are smelling is putrefaction ...coming thr the pores
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........
