My dog smells horrible — HELP!?

Question by aliciamarie88: My dog smells horrible — HELP!?
I have a pomeranian that I got from a friend because it was dropped off at her house and she couldn’t take care of it.

It’s an older dog and she smells horrible. Her breath has this horrible smell also. I brush her teeth and also give her a bath with deoderizing shampoo, which doesn’t help at all.

She also has horrible mats but I can’t take her to a professional groomer because I don’t have her shot papers, they are still with the original owners.

Also, I’ve tried all kinda of flea treatments with her, even the ones from the vet, and she still has them and they won’t go away.

Her behind also gets clogged up alot and I’ll have to clean it out for her.

She has mats bad too all around her behind area, around her ears, and her front part of her body, below her head.

I know she was in a meth lab and that’s why she was sent to the other owners and she’s never had a real home and now she’s happy but her hair is horrible.

Any help appreciated. Thank you so much!
