It seems that it has become a common public perception that dogs smell bad. Although they don’t want to admit it, dogs that are neglected can really stink! We need to know that almost all dogs have their own unique smell. For example, , poodle, , , schnauzer, and are dogs with very light body odor, but there are also some dogs with strong body odor that require special care.
However, sometimes it is not his fault that dogs have body odor. Many owners do not bathe their dogs because they are busy or lazy. Dogs that have not been bathed for a long time will naturally emit odor.
Therefore, it is recommended for friends who raise dogs:
Bathing your dog once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter is enough. Bathing your dog too frequently is also harmful.
If your dog still smells bad just after taking a bath, it’s time to pay attention! Dog owners can check for the following reasons:
01 Bad breath in dogs
Dental calculus or indigestion can cause bad breath in dogs. Owners can choose some low-oil and low-salt dog food to feed. Low-oil and low-salt food is more suitable for dogs to digest, and dry food can also play a certain role in the dog's teeth grinding process during chewing. In addition, you can brush your dog’s teeth regularly to effectively control the production of dental calculus and maintain a good oral environment.
02 anal gland smelly
anal gland fluid accumulation for too long without cleaning will cause odor. Many pet parents have begun to pay attention to the problem of anal glands because the smell is too strong. The anal glands need to be cleaned as necessary to prevent them from becoming inflamed. It is generally recommended to clean up the dog before taking a bath.
03 Dog Smelly feet
Not paying attention to cleaning the soles of the dog's feet after walking the dog leads to stinky feet. Dogs that go out every day will step on dirty things, and the long foot hair will tightly wrap these dirty things and cause a stink. Therefore, it is recommended that you clean the soles of your dog’s feet every day and trim its foot hair regularly to avoid toe infections.
Finally, we must pay attention to maintaining a good sanitary environment at home and disinfecting it regularly. The dog’s den, toys and cage should be cleaned regularly so that you can have a clean dog~
