Are you cleaning her ears regularly? Cockers are notorious for nasty ear problems-and those ears STINK! If ears are the issue, Zymox is an awesome product for keeping the ears clean...I'd clean ears weekly and use the ear solution once per week as a preventative, as well. What are you using for shampoo? Does the dog's skin and fur stink? Sometimes yeast on the skin can make a dog stinky, too. You can use a dandruff shampoo on the dog to kill skin yeast (let it sit on the dog for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off), or get an antifungal shampoo from your vet.

Last, nutrition: If your dog is not eating a top-quality food, that could be the problem. Honestly, if you're buying it at WalMart, it's not good enough. Some good brands to consider: California Natural, Innova, Healthwise, Wellness, & Blue. For cheaper, better foods, Diamond Naturals Lamb & Rice, 4Health Grain Free (available at Tractor Supply).
