With the changes in people's ideas and the improvement of living standards, we can see that more and more friends are raising dogs around us, and pet dogs are with our family day and night. If the hygiene is not done well, not only will the body smell, but in serious cases, some diseases and bacteria may even be infected with humans. Therefore, parents who raise dogs must pay attention to the hygiene of dogs. So what is the reason for the dog's odor? How to effectively remove it?
1. Ear mites
If some dogs have severe ear mites, the foul smell emitted from their ears is so bad. Moreover, when we play with dogs, dogs like to stab adults, so that the parents will also have a strong smell. Therefore, if it is a severe odor caused by ear mites, the owner should develop the good habit of cleaning the earwax for the dog regularly. If the hair near the ear is particularly long, it can also be trimmed shorter for easy cleaning.
2. Bad breath
Many dogs have bad breath, and there are many reasons for bad breath, such as eating raw meat, not having the habit of brushing teeth regularly, gastrointestinal diseases, etc., which will lead to bad breath. In addition, if the dog likes to drool, the smell of dog saliva will be everywhere in the house. Therefore, you must develop the habit of brushing your dog regularly. Don’t let your dog eat raw meat and smell such as irritating things. At the same time, try to choose high-quality dog food to protect your dog’s stomach and intestines. If the dog food is too poor, it will also lead to symptoms of tears.
3. Heavy body odor
Some dogs are born with light body odor, but some dogs are born with heavy body odor, such as Pekingese, British Cocker Spaniels, Sharpee, etc., are all born with heavy body odor. In this case, diet is one aspect, and regular care is also very important. Generally, the dog is bathed once a week in summer and once a two-week in winter. Using a shower gel for pet dogs to wash and care can remove odors and parasites. Focus on cleaning the dog's behind the ears, armpits, anal glands and other parts.
4. Infected with parasites
If a dog is infected with parasites, such as dog lice, ticks, etc., and is bitten by such insects for a long time, the dog's skin may be broken. If it is not careful of cleaning and disinfection, there will be ulceration and infection, so the dog will have a smell. Therefore, the dog should be dewormed regularly. The internal deworming vaccine usually takes one in three months. The external deworming powder or drops can be sprayed once a month.
5. Living environment
It is necessary to ensure that the living environment of the dog is clean and disinfected frequently. The food basins and water basins used must be cleaned and replaced regularly to prevent the breeding of bacteria and allow the dog to have a body odor.
If you want to make your dog's body odor lighter, you should pay attention to everything from daily diet, hygiene to washing and care. Every time you take a bath, it is best to squeeze the dog's anal glands, which will also have great effect and help to relieve the dog's body odor.
