Hey guysWanted to ask you guys if bathing my 16week pup (Perseus) every other day is a good thing or it will harm Perseus. His very active pup, usually after playing and goofing around he would have that doggy smell every other day the most. A friend told me that baking Soda could minimize the doggy smell which in return less frequent bathing. He instructed I sprinkle baking soda on Perseus, rub it into skin then brush it off after couple minutes. Is it safe or has anyone done this?FoodThe breeder recommended Loyal, so that’s what I got. Is it good? Your thoughts? Sorry, from where I live, dry dog food is limited; most grocery stores carry dry/wet Pedigree and from what I’v read it’s not a good chose for ambullies. The only way I could get good food like TOTW is ordering it online, which I’ll do after this bag of Loyal is done. Thinking of going the Raw diet route but gotta figure my finances first lol.Any advice will be appreciated, thanks guys

Doggie smells are okay, unless your dog has a health issue and actually "stinks", you should not be washing so much. My girl gets a bath once every six months and that is only if she really gets dirty and actually stinks. We brush her everytime she goes outside and comes inside, though, and wipe her feet too.

Also when you do wash you should get a good doggie shampoo. There are quite a few good ones.

Raw bones (not weight bearing) are a good way to allow your dog to clean his teeth. We also give our dog deer antler and bully sticks. If you do go raw, your dogs teeth will stay pretty clean.

Our dog is on EVO for now, and we will go raw once we find good (range fed) resources.
