I do all of the above and I think my home is odour free but that’s probably my nose blindness 😜 I have tried the coconut oil before and seems to add little difference the one extra thing I do is add a tablespoon of olive oil to their meal once a day and this has definitely improved odour and coat condition. Raw food is best for great overall condition and less odour

Organic coconut oil, solid in a jar. Take a small amount, rub it in my hands and run my hands along the sides of her back fur. It does help a lot, use a small amount, you don’t want oil on your rugs or furniture. Good luck.

Is he in or out most? Mine is on raw food but he does smell and his chocolate coat is not as shiny as other dogs I’ve seen. But we work long ours and he is outside most of the time when we are not home

We started feeding him and our Golden, and our Boxer, Purina One for sensitive skin and stomach formula… and after just 3 days it was working! He had a nasty, sharp stink… our house stinks from him, and we keep all his bedding and blankets washed, and we have a HEPA filter for each room.

I love to give him cuddles and kisses. Bathing is limited to 2-3 times a year, unless he has done something really yuck. Mine is on a raw diet and I think it comes down to the food as that would secrete through their skin. Love my lab and proud to be a lab mommy.

I wash the bits you can wash with mild washing powder and clean/change the air filters frequently.
Problem sorted!
