Thanks for caring about my doggie! Zed develops bladder stones, so he has been on a special renal diet for 3 years now, science diet. We dare not risk changing it, if they reoccure, we agreed not to put him through surgery again. We would have to let him go. We do not have wool carpets in our house, either. I use a handmade soap, doggie zum bar on him, it's organic. To be truthful, it's been a while since he was bathed. He's probably due. He has never had a doggie odor, and lately I have not been up to it.
