Why has my DDog started to smell?

Permadog, 18mths has recently (last month or so) started to smell 'doggy' and have bad breath.

She only has kibble (Symply) and natural treats.

I was giving her dental-type treat daily but when I ran out, she calmed down, so I guessed the sugar in them might make her a bit hyper?

She goes to the groomer 5-6 times a year and I bathe her feet and legs when they're very muddy.

Also, I changed to Advocate from Frontline Combo 5 months ago.

She always smelt so lovely, I thought I'd got away with it and had a fragrant dog, or is this just totally normal?

Any ideas?

Worth checking the collar, my dog started to really honk and I eventually worked out the smell was coming from the collar which had never been washed Blush

The collar is new, so can't be that. Her whole body smells Blush and her breath smells off as well. Nice......

Anal glands? If they are blocked it can cause a smell....the vet will "squeeze" them for you.....
