I think you may be biased by your ownership? Breed and genetics play a huge role here. Huskies, for instance, require very little bathing. In fact, with many dogs over-bathing is bad for their skin and can lead to worse smells when they are not bathed due to the removal of oils.

I don’t own either atm.

I’m not at a place where I can give pets the full attention they deserve. I do love both.

A well cared for dog is going to not smell awful, same as a well cared cat. On the other hand, there is a smell all the same.

Btw, a poorly cared for cat is going to reek something fierce. They might take care of themselves better, but if they don’t have what they need, (a clean living environment, including the litter box,) they’re going to have problems.
