BANISH THE STENCH Combatting Odour Problems in Dogs

From rolling in who-knows-what to simply having that "doggy smell," dealing with odour issues in dogs is a common challenge for many pet owners. But fear not! With a few simple tips and tricks, you can combat those odours and keep your canine companion smelling fresh and clean.

UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCE

Before diving into solutions, it's essential to understand what causes those less-than-pleasant smells emanating from your pup. Several factors contribute to doggy odours, including:

1. Skin and Coat: Dogs naturally produce oils that can accumulate on their skin and fur, leading to a characteristic "doggy" smell.

2. Ear Infections: Ear infections are common in dogs and can result in foul-smelling discharge.

3. Dental Issues: Poor oral hygiene can lead to bad breath, which can quickly permeate a room.

4. Anal Glands: Issues with anal glands can cause a particularly pungent odour.

5. Environmental Factors: Rolling in something foul or coming into contact with skunks can leave your dog smelling less than fresh.

Now that we know what we're up against, let's explore some strategies to combat these odours effectively
