Dealing With a Stinky Dog

March 4, 2015 By //  by cnpadmin

Dealing With a Stinky Dogbath

We’ve all come across a stinky dog. Sometimes the cause is simple such as dog breath or wet fur, sometimes the problem is caused by an underlying medical issue. Stubborn dog smells can signify allergies, ear infections, skin infections, problems with diet or other issues that require a diagnosis from a veterinarian. While some common dog smells can be treated at home, if the problem persists or is severe, it’s imperative that you schedule an appointment with your vet.

Dealing with Dog Breath

Bad breath is typically a sign of plaque buildup on your dog’s teeth. You can help to keep your dog’s teeth clean by offering chew toys and by having your dog’s teeth brushed every time they visit the groomer. Occasionally the smell is from an infection caused by foreign matter that has become lodged in the gums. If regular teeth brushing does not solve the problem, it is wise to have your dog’s teeth checked by a veterinarian.

Dealing with Smelly Ears

Dogs that have droopy ears often have problems with ear infections and smelly ears. This is because moisture gets trapped and wax builds up, providing the perfect home for bacteria, ear mites and fungus. If there is no infection or open sores you can use diluted vinegar, colloidal silver, mineral oil or hydrogen peroxide to clean the ears. If you suspect that your dog has an ear infection, a veterinarian can prescribe medication.

Dealing with a Stinky Coat

A coat that is naturally oily can trap odor causing debris, but shampooing too often can dry out your pet’s skin and lead to allergies and infection. Regular grooming every four to six weeks is ideal for dealing with a stinky coat. Your groomer should only use soap-free shampoo. Between baths you can rub baby powder, baking soda or diatomaceous earth into your dog’s coat and then brush it to keep it odor free.

Dogs with thick undercoats have a hard time getting completely dry after getting wet. A damp undercoat can smell terrible. These types of dogs should be professionally groomed to ensure they are completely dry after their bath.

Other causes of dog odor include full anal glands and urine soaked fur. Always have your groomer check and express your dog’s anal glands when necessary and trim the fur around their genitals to keep urine and excrement from sticking to them.

Humane Grooming

Humane Grooming

At Claws N Paws Day Spa the health, safety, care and comfort of your pet are our primary concerns. Our experienced team is here to offer you and your pet the exceptional service that both of you deserve. We understand the special bond that you share with your pet and we value their health and well-being as much as you do. This is why we practice Humane Grooming at Claws N Paws Day Spa.

Our professional groomers understand that your pet has many emotions and they will always take into consideration the effect that a grooming visit may have on them. At times pets might experience anxiety, nervousness and distress while visiting the grooming salon. Because we value your pet’s feelings, we will always do our best to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable throughout their entire visit.

Sometimes a pet’s coat becomes severely tangled or matted. This happens for a number of different reasons. Matted fur is extremely uncomfortable for your pet and can cause several different health problems. De-matting is mentally and physically stressful for pets and can put their health and well-being in jeopardy.

Claws N Paws Day Spa does not offer de-matting for severely matted pets. Partial de-matting services will be performed for an extra fee ONLY if your pet has only a select few mats throughout their coat that are not close to their skin. Severely matted or tangled coats WILL be shaved.

If you wish to maintain the length of your pet’s hair there is no alternative but to keep it brushed and combed out daily between your professional grooming appointments. If this is not an option, we recommend that you schedule weekly maintenance appointments for your pet. If you require assistance in selecting the proper tools to maintain your pet’s coat, we will be happy to assist you.
