My Dog Smells Like a Fish Market—Help!

Is anyone else living with a dog who smells like they’ve been rolling in a pile of dead fish? My 2-year-old golden retriever has this recurring, absolutely vile odor—think fish market on a hot day. I’ve done the usual: vet visits, fancy groomers, food changes, pumpkin, glandex, you name it. The groomers swear his glands are fine. The vet says, “Totally normal for Goldens!” Meanwhile, my house is starting to smell like low tide and I’m losing my mind. It’s a cycle: five days of stench, a brief reprieve, then back to Eau de Fish. He doesn’t even do the classic butt-scoot! I can’t keep dropping $150 every week for a quick fix that doesn’t last. Has anyone actually solved this? Or am I doomed to live in a fishy funk forever? Please, any hacks, advice, or just commiseration welcome. #DogProblems #PetCare #GoldenRetriever #Pets
