Your dog may have a skin condition that is causing the odor. I think your vet should check that out and give you a medicated shampoo.

Because of the food they are eating. You put Garbage in and you get garbage out. Dogs are not meant to eat/live a life on grains, food coloring and toxic junk that is in kibble. The nastier the food, the nastier the dog.
Choose a food with no more then 2 grains listed in the first 5 ingredients and your smelly dog issues will subside. Better yet, Feed RAW! I have 6 Danes in my house and you wouldn't know a dog lived here if you had to go by smell...
The slobber on the TV screen daily is a dead give away though! :)

Have you noticed if the smell is coming from the ears? If your dog has a lot of hair around the ears it can cause hair to get bunched up in the ear. It causes a terrible odor. The vet just told me to clean my puppy's ears every few days. The vet will also give you some medicine to put in the ears at first.

I have a pit bull and whenever I give him a bath he always stinks after. Don't worry nothing is wrong its just the smell of a wet dog. It will go away when he's dry.:) hope I helped

Dogs that are healthy only need to be bathed when they're dirty not because they smell. As another poster suggested you should look at her diet, it probably needs to be changed to either a good brand of wheat free kibble or consider feeding raw. My dogs are bathed every couple of months when they're groomed and they never smell.

Take her to the vet. Sounds like she has a skin infection or seborrhea--both will produce an odor even after bathing. Could also be from an ear infection.

Depends on what part of your dog stinks. My Pug needs his folds cleaned with baby wipes from time to time.

Use the Local groomers or go outside and use the hose.
