blog post for tips on improving the dental hygiene of your dog<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you are thorough with your dog\u2019s dental hygiene it is possible that the bad breath odours are from another source such as respiratory or gastrointestinal issues. Check with your vet to see if this is the case with your dog.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ear infection
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some dog breeds are particularly prone to ear infections. If the smell from your dog’s ears is mild, it is likely resolved with an appropriate ear cleanser.\u00a0 For stronger more pungent smells, contact your vet for advice and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anal glands
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Many dogs experience issues with their anal glands at some point in their lives.\u00a0 If your dog suddenly starts scooting around on his behind, has difficulties with defecation or you smell a fish-like odour, it\u2019s time to contact the vet.\u00a0 Treatment may be in the form of expressing the glands to make your dog\u2019s rear end more comfortable and less stinky too.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skin issues
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Skin issues that cause bad smells are particularly problematic for dog breeds with overlapping folds of skin such as pugs or shar peis. These folds need to be regularly cleaned and dried to prevent bad odours.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other skin infections can also cause odours so if you notice skin problems with your dog it\u2019s worth taking a trip to the vet to get them checked out and to ensure your dog is comfortable as well as better smelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gas
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Occasional flatulence is perfectly normal in a dog. However, if your dog is regularly emitting noxious fumes from his rear end, a check up with the vet is recommended for solutions to this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
