Answer: Everyone is familiar with certain dog scents, but if your pet smells bad, or different, on a regular basis, there are a few things to consider such as its overall health and nutrition, teeth and possible dental disease, skin and coat issues, grooming and breed.

What are you feeding the dog? Good quality grain-free food makes a difference.

If the dog has developed a sudden change in odour, it is recommended that you take it to the vet for a check-up. Certain diseases and infections can cause odours and bad breath. For example, ear infections can often emit a terrible odour and certain kidney diseases and diabetes cause bad breath.

Skin and coat issues can cause problems.

We recommend that you take your dog to be professionally-groomed on a regular basis. There are also short-term solutions such as pet wet wipes and special deodorisers that might help.
