Does your pup really smell that much?
My dog apart from swimming has a bath maybe twice a year and does not smell. Have you ruled out any medical issues that might cause the smell ?- ie yeasty ears. I would not bath my pup every other day it would strip the natural oils out of his coat which he needs.
Baking soda has a number of uses - cleaning up puppy messes, cleaning teeth, bee stings and deodorizing their bedding but I don't know about powdering your pup in it.
I don't like human shampoo because the PH level is different for dogs, on some dogs human shampoos work just fine, some have sensitive skin and it will just irritate them (there is a few threads about shampoos on here if you use the search function).
I feed raw so have no experiences with kibbles and the like.
