Pekingeses

I Have a 2.5 year old male peckinese "Roscoe". He is very loved, by the way! He returns much love also. LOL. The Problem- Peckinese dogs tend to have a skin allergy which causes them to smell rotten to say the least. Of course, he has been to the vet, but the pills don't seem to be working very well any more. And they are very expensive. Besides, he does not like to take them. Does anyone out there have any advice they can offer? I am disabled now is the problem see, and on a very limited income. I have already been through a lot of trial and error methods with this and Roscoe and I are both desperate! Anybody out there know what really works?

His skin issues may well be exacerbated by food allergies. Might want to make sure that he is getting a food that has no or very little known allergens.

all due respect, but did are you keeping him bathed and groomed properly? I keep my female bathed at least every week or so. I did have a male years ago. Another question: how old is the male? is he "marking his territory"? is he "fixed"?

These things affect how an animal smells. My female is only a little over a year old, and not spayed. I plan to breed her at least a couple of times in the next couple of years. But, males that have not been neutered can emit a smell, especially if THEY smell a dog in heat...y'know what I mean?

Hope this helps!
