The exhausted owner even wondered if he had bought a fake shower gel on the head of the shower gel. Don’t worry, the dog has a strong dog smell, not necessarily because it was not washed, it may be a problem elsewhere.
Today I’m going to tell you about the places on the dog’s body that may hide dirt:
Oral
A dog’s mouth is arguably the most common odorous place on a dog’s body. The dog looks cute, but when you hold it up and open your mouth, the smell can make your face turn blue.
Because most owners don’t brush their dogs’ teeth, all kinds of bacteria and food residues remain in the dog’s mouth.
These things can cause plaque, calculus and other problems in the dog’s mouth.
If the dog has bad breath but no yellow teeth, no fever, lethargy, severe vomiting, etc.,
It’s just that the poop is not formed, too much or too little but sticky, it may be due to bad breath caused by the dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal flora.
If the dog’s mouth has a metallic, foul-smelling, or sweet taste, it means the dog may have eaten something it shouldn’t and needs to be taken to the vet.
Ears
The inside of the ears are actually quite dirty, especially for dogs living in Guangdong. That kind of hot and humid weather is particularly prone to breeding bacteria and parasites.
Especially for dogs with long and large ears, such as poodles and labradors, they are prone to various ear problems such as otitis externa, ear mites, and bacterial infections.
The corpses of ear mites and the waste produced by ear mites accumulate in the ear canal, which will cause odor.
If ear mites irritate the skin and cause inflammation, or even pus, the odor will be stronger.
However, it should be noted that, do not use cotton swabs to clean the ears of dogs like humans,
It is best to drop a special cleaning solution into the dog’s ears, and then pull Gently rub your ears.
Finally, as long as you let go of your hands, the dog will dry the cleaning solution in the ears on its own.
Anal glands
Anal glands are an identifying feature of dogs, they It will have its own unique taste of anal glands.
Dogs sniff each other’s butts just to smell it.
But the anal gland is a secretory gland. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will accumulate a lot of smelly secretions.
In addition to causing bacterial infection and inflammation, the most important thing is that it will greatly increase the dog’s body odor.
So owners still have to learn how to clean their dog’s anal glands by themselves.
In addition, there are poisonous sores on the dog, or small wounds that become inflamed and decayed, which may cause some strange problems on the dog. smell.
These require the owner to conduct a detailed inspection of the dog’s whole body.
However, don’t use a scented body wash just to make your dog smell good!
Dogs have a different sense of smell than humans, and what we find pleasant and comfortable may be irritating to them.
Since there are body washes for dogs, use the ones that are suitable for them.
