• Smelly dog problem- any ideas?

  My dog smells so bad. People have told me that if I wash him too often his natural oils will be stripped - making it impossible for his fur to self-clean. However, he smells so bad. Just one week after washing the smell is intolerable. He's a big dog and washing him is a major project - getting him in the tub, keeping him there, washing, drying etc, Any tips?

• Best shampoo and conditioner?

  I take my black, almost-6-month-old Standard Poodle pup to the groomers once a month, but I want to be prepared to give her a quick bath at home once in a while too. I have used AvoDerm Natural Oatmeal Shampoo and Conditioning Rinse before and it seemed pretty good, but I have no idea is this a truly good brand or is there something better... Any opinions about the best shampoos and conditioners for long-haired dogs?
