How to make your dog smell good? The method is actually very simple!

There are many friends who like dogs, but they don’t know much about dog care. Many netizens will ask whether it is good to raise a dog or whether it is troublesome to raise a dog. Let me take you through this question and what you should pay attention to when raising a dog!

I believe anyone who has raised a dog knows that if the dog is not taken care of carefully, the dog will have various smells! There are many different types of dog odors, including bad breath, flatulence, the smell of poorly maintained fur, or the odor from stepping in or rolling in poop, to name a few.

No matter how cute a dog is, it is hard to accept a dog with a peculiar smell, so it is crucial to make the dog smell good.

So how do we get rid of odor on dogs?

In fact, it is very simple. First, we need to find out the source of the dog's odor:

If the cause is obvious, we can directly carry out targeted remedies.

For example, a dog that hasn't had a bath in over a month and is always rolling around on the lawn may just need a bath.

A very clean dog with heavy breath that smells bad may have pathological reasons.

Like stepping on feces, rot, or other smelly things (dogs like to roll in smelly things because it masks their own smell)

If your dog has bad breath or flatulence, it's time to see your veterinarian. Possible problems include dental calculus, stomach problems, kidney disease (persistent urine smell) or diabetes (sweet, sugary breath), liver disease (foul odor, yellowing of eyes or gums, ascites, and vomiting), tooth or gum problems, or ear infections.

Skin or coat conditions such as seborrhea, mange mites, or other conditions that require medical intervention may also be a cause of body odor in dogs.

After figuring out the reason, the first thing we need to do for the dog is to bathe it!

Taking a bath is the first step in dealing with odor problems. Use a pet-specific bath, or a functional bath such as antiseptic tea tree oil, or ask your veterinarian to recommend a suitable medical shampoo.

If the odor on your dog is caused by infected ears and lack of care of the fur, then a simple bath can no longer remove the odor! At this time we have to do this:

Clean the dog’s ears to prevent earwax accumulation. Dirty ears may become red or swollen and may even attract mites.

Brush or comb your dog every day. This will remove all debris and accumulation of dust, bacteria, etc. Combing back will help remove more shedding; a wet comb will pick up more shedding.

Brush or wash your teeth regularly. Keep breath fresh.

Buy natural pet odorants or pet perfumes.

At the same time, everyone should also pay attention to the hygiene of the dog's kennel. Keep the place where the dog sleeps clean and free of fleas and dirt, so as to make it cleaner. Toys, clothes, etc. should also be replaced or cleaned regularly.

In short, as long as everyone pays more attention to the hygiene of dogs, dogs will basically not have serious odors. If you bathe your dog more often, your dog will naturally smell better!
