Certainly every dog owner we know loves to cuddle up to their pet pooch while some even sleeps with their beloved pet. Constant hugging and cuddling with your pet promotes a stronger bond between you and your pet. But what if your beloved pooch starts to give off an unbearable stinking smell? Foul dog odor can develop from a number of reasons and causes a lot of concerns to dog owners. But you don't have to worry, these abominable smells that your dog get is easily eliminated if proper hygiene is practiced. Here are some smell elimination tips you can try to get rid of those funky smell in your pet:
Regular washing. Schedule a weekly washing of your dog's bedding and blankets to remove stinky odor. Regular washing of your pet's beddings and blankets prevents odors from wetness and dirt in getting sealed into his bedding.
Bath you dog. Depending on the kind of breed and activity level of a dog, some dogs requires weekly bathing while other dogs need only to be bathe every few weeks to a month. Determine the right bathing schedule for your dog and do it regularly. In general, if your dog starts to smell like a dog, then it's always the right time for his bath. Buy a dog shampoo that is formulated to remove smells.
Regular grooming. Not only a dirty coat can cause BO in your dog, many other parts of your dog's body can contribute to his smelliness. Check and clean your dog's ears, ear wax can build up and cause a stinking smell in your pet's ears. Regular brushing of your dog's teeth and occasional application of dog breath spray helps prevent bad dog breath.
Impromptu mess cleaning. If your dog is sick and vomits, or has diarrhea, or an accident, quickly clean up hiss mess. Use water to clean the mess and white paper towels to dry it.
Check your dog's food. A number of manufactured dog foods contribute to an unpleasant dog stink due to some ingredients. Try giving your dog a homemade diet more often to decrease foul stink.
Neutralize odors. Neutralize stinky dog odors by applying pet deodorizing spray in your dog's coat.
Check your pet's anal sacs. Anal sacs are two small scent-sacs in the area of your dog's anus. Dogs whose anal sacs have filled up with fluid will experience itching, irritation and discomfort around the anus, as well as emitting a foul odor. If your pet starts to "scoot" or "drag" his bottom on the floor for relief, he is actually attempting to express the sacs himself. Immediately bring your pet to the vet for proper medication.
Bring your dog to the vet. Make a regular visit to your vet every 6 months for your dog's check-up. Your veterinarian should tell you whether or not your dog's smell is due to a sickness or not. Some of the diseases that causes stinking dog odor includes ear infection, atopy, gum and teeth disease, diabetes and kidney failure among others.
