My Cali's rear seems to constantly smell horrible.. I know that they aren't supposed to smell like roses but her's.. well.. it is really bad at times 
I have been getting into the habit of keeping her a "chute" trimmed and wiping her down with puppy wipes when she comes in, but it still seems like the smell gets to be a bit much. Our old vet gave us some "butt spray" to use when it got really bad, but the smell of it mixed with her butt really does not make matters any better! I noticed it today especially.. We went and did our evening potty, and then she got a bath with me paying special attention to her trap door.. She smelled wonderfull from head to paw afterwards.. A few hours later we went out for a bedtime potty when she only peed and then I noticed after we came back in and were watching a movie that her butt smelled horrible again! I went and got a puppy wipe and cleaned her up yet again but the smell still seems to be there.. I know that once it gets into the fur its not exactly going to just disappear but I am curious if this could be a indicator or something wrong with her? Her stools are pretty consistant.. They have turned a teeny tiny bit "mushy" I guess you can call it and have turned from brown to a tiny shade of "mustard" like I have heard from other people feeding wellness.. I am currently in the process of switching her to Nutro Ultra Small Breed as she really seemed to like it before we tried the wellness (I really don't know why I switched in the first place) to see if it cleans her poopies up a bit.
Is a smell butt anything I should worry about or do I just need to starting cleaning up after her a bit more? Any suggestions or products that you guys like to use? Thanks!

If she doe that is usually a sign she needs to have her anal glands expressed. It's like little pockets around the butt hole that collects fecal matter. 
This is why it's so odoriferious!! New word huh!
When Kia was doing the butt rub dance the vet just put the glove on with lubricant and that was enough for Kia she expressed her own glands, right there on the vet's table!
She's been fine since . keep us updated on little calis problem.
It's not just scent.
