Just wondering. Does anyone else have a problem with their Basset having dirty, smelly armpits? I can give Dixie a bath and in a few days her pits will be cruddy and smelly. Between baths, which I give every 3 weeks or so, I have to get down on the floor and scrub her armpits with soft bristle tooth brush and soapy water. I know dogs don't sweat under their arms/legs, but she gets moist under there . The pores under her pits are large and collect dirt easily and if I don't clean her regularly, her pits will break down.
Good part of the story is that she absolutely loves the attention of me cleaning her and just lays there and lets me clean away. It's a great time to clean ears too. I could probably even play dress-up and apply make-up on her and she would lay there and let me. lol
Soooo? If anyone does have this problem, what do you do combat/control it?
