Why Dogs Have a Foul Odor


Dogs can have bad breath (brought about by oral problems) just like humans. There are various potential reasons why dogs develop foul odor:
  • Plaque, as well as tartar, can pile up in their teeth and gums if pet owners don't do regular brushing of their dog's teeth. This case is a favorable environment for bacteria to grow further. A home oral regimen is very critical in helping prevent oral problems in dogs, and this regimen should be started in dogs as young as possible.
  • Kidney issues can also bring about bad breath (due to the accumulation of toxins).
  • If your dog has abnormal eye discharge or tearing, this could result in the eyes and the hair coat staying moist. This moist area is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and this process will come with stinky odor.
  • A distinct stinky odor can come from an ear infection in your dog as well.
Make an appointment with your animal hospital Bend, OR so your pet can undergo a thorough examination. A diagnosis will enable appropriate treatment to be given immediately.
