Clear Up Your Dog's Body Odor

Some dogs just have an unpleasant smell and others acquire unpleasant smells from rolling around in trash, digging around in certain areas, or eating something that has an awful smell. Whatever the reason there are a number of things you can do to clear up your dog’s bad body odor. First, make sure you groom your dog often. Brushing their coat helps to remove odors that pile up in their fur causing body odor. Brushing helps remove excess oils from the skin and hair. Applying deodorizers and moisturizers when you brush your dog also helps clear up the body odor. My dog loves to dig and get into everything when she is outside so she often has a bad body odor or at least she use to. I started grooming her and spraying her with moisturizers and she smells much better, in fact, because I groom her everyday and spray her the smell of the spray stays in her fur clearing up any body odors.

Bathing your dog will definitely clear up body odors. Use a pet shampoo with a deodorizer or moisturizer and give your dog a good wash all over. If your dog has a very oily coat, you may want to try a tar-based shampoo instead of regular shampoo. The tar-based shampoo works much better to grind out dirt and clear up excessive build up in your dog’s coat. The shampoos are available at pet stores. However, if your pet is very oily make sure you don’t wash him too much. Excessive washing can cause oil glands to increase causing your pet to be even oilier and have more body odor. Try washing your pet once a month.
