Regular baths and keeping the environment clean (that includes washing Mili's bed) will help to keep odor away. You must also make sure that she is parasite free and that her skin is healthy because this will also help prevent odor. Here is a link about pet bathing: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-often-should-i-bathe-my-dog/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
