My dog smells bad and sleeps more. Is it yeast or just old age?

Question

Grundy seems a little off lately. very anxious after our move but settled in okay. He still gets hyped about walks and playing fetch, eats and drinks fine, but he stinks like a dirty sock. In the past he's had yeast infections, grain sensitivity, but I watch what he eats carefully. He sleeps more often and stinks, is he just getting older? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 75 lbs

Grundy, what a cool name! He may be experiencing a secondary skin and/or ear infection which for sure could be due to yeast. Those are 2 possible body parts that can be commonly affected with infections that may result in bad odor. This could be secondary to allergies. Have him examined by your veterinarian so the source of the smell can be found on examination which will help determine the best diagnostic and therapeutic approach for Grundy! Best of luck and thanks for entrusting us with your boy's health!
