Odor in fur despite bathing

Detour

Do you have any recommendations on the best deodorizing shampoo? Our Rottie stays inside and our house has that hated doggie smell. She only eats her dog food (no table scraps) and she is not overweight. I don't want to overbathe her- she gets a bath every Saturday, but after just a day or two, she stinks again.
Any suggestions??

  The odor that you are recognizing is possibly either a bacterial or a yeast infection - normally, dogs when they are bathed do not smell again within 1-2 days. Does your dog itch quite a lot? I would recommend you have a vet take a look, because as far as I know, any antibacterial or anti-yeast shampoo is available only by prescription.
