pee

I haven't see anyone talk about this yet but maybe I missed it.

Everyone talks about dingleberries but Bella has something a little different. The hair around her urethra tends to get wet when she pees and I really noticed it last night. Should that hair be trimmed?? it is only about an inch long but I would rather not have to deal with the smell.

Does anyone else notice this issue on their girls. I don't thnk that she has an infection or anything it is just that pee smell that I notice when brushing her. How close can I clip that area?

If she's not in show coat, and even if she is, you can usually trim the hairs short...just don't nick her! Boys need the same attention. Don't forget to do a little wash down there from time to time. Doesn't take long and I always get the "Hey!!" look.
Never having a femal dog before, I am glad to see this question :oops: Exactly what do you use to clean the area? My poor baby has a funny color to her vagina area...doesn't smell or anything but sort of "yellowy"...Is that normal?
Shave the area with a #10 blade. You are going to have to pick it up & movie it to get into the all the nooks & crannies. Then sprinkle with something like Gold Bond Powder. I usually do this on a regular basis with my girls & boys that are being shown because I am grooming them all the time & it is just 1 step in the process. What I need to remember is to do my clipped down ones more often. I usually don't think of it until I see them "cleaning" that area.
