Where is the smell coming from? If it is coming from her butt then she needs to have her anal sacs asperated. If it is her breath brush her teeth. Her skin would smell bad if she had rash or something check for that because the soap may have caused it. Did you spay her? Is her incision infected? That would smell. Other than that, is she an outdoor dog? Is there something dead and decaying in your yard that she is rolling in? You need to be an investigator and find the source of the smell and not just cover it with peppermint.

Bulldogs require a lot of care when they are cleaned. A bath simply won't do. You will need to make sure that after bathing her that you are sure that she gets dry. And I don't just mean dry on her back and body, but also in between the wrinkles. What you are smelling is probably bacteria that has grown in between the wrinkles from it being too moist. I would get a q-tip and try to clean out those wrinkles. Maybe with a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

Some dogs have an anal gland problem. No joking, that is what it is called. Their anal glands fill up and often burst. Causes quite a stink. It could be that.
Only other thing I can think of is try bathing in Tomato soup much like you would if nailed by a skunk.

the more you wash your dog the more she will stink. dogs in the wild do not take baths and they smell pretty normal. she will never smell like a peach so you will just have to let her develop her own normal smell. only wash her if she has a very dirty coat. They do make great sprays for dogs that don't disrupt their natural oils and still mask the stinky smells.

I would call either your vet or a dog groomer. I know it doesnt take long for my dog to smell like dog again after her bath. I bought some puppy shampoo from Fosters and Fosters and that seemed to be better. It could also be her food that is doing that to her. Hope this helps.

We have an english bulldog, too and he stinks mostly when his wrinkles are dirty. Bacteria does grow in them and causes it to grow and stink. These dogs require a lot of attention when cleaning, but he also farts a lot, that could be the problem. :/

Derrick, the best thing to do is to get a new dog. I hope that you did not pay too much for her. 99.9% of English Bulldogs stink- it is a fact- look it up. The reason for this is becasue 40% of the English stink and when you add in the fact that she is a dog, the stick factor is raised by another 59.9%. Sorry to be the one to break this to you. I Japanese dog because only 10% of Japanese stink, so that raises the total stink factor to only 69.9%. I hope this helps.

Trever T has the right idea. If the dog has no glandular problems and just smells like dog, try the tomato juice (not soup) treatment. Bathe him (her?) as you would normally with tomato juice (from the can). Please be sure to warm it a little (not heat it) before you use it. I works for me.
