Ive got a lovely yellow labrador,hes no trouble at all, only problem is that hes rather smelly,i know they have a oily coat,but is there any way i can freshen him up without bathing him all the time.

You can get dry shampoo and deodorising spray. They are not brilliant but do work to some extent.

I have a long coat GSD and with all this wet weather he does smell a bit at times.

Something like these. They can be bought in most pet shops.
