What should I do if my Labrador stinks? You need to find out the cause of the stinking first before you can prescribe the right medicine. If the Labrador burps and stinks due to improper diet, you should choose light food to feed it; if it is the ears If the ears are inflamed and smelly, you should clean the Labrador's ears; if the smell is caused by not squeezing the anal glands, you should pay attention to squeezing the anal glands when bathing the Labrador.

Improper diet

Many Labrador odors are caused by food. If you eat food with a pungent smell, or the raw materials are relatively cheap. Labradors will emit a smell when they burp, and their poop is particularly black and smelly. This pet owner needs to consider whether it is food. You can choose some relatively light dog food. We recommend the natural dog food, which is rich in nutrients, low in salt and oil, and has zero additions. It is usually paired with some fruits and vegetables, so that the Labrador will be very nutritious.

Ear inflammation

Labrador’s ears need regular cleaning and care. Part of the dog’s odor comes from the ears, especially those with thicker hair like Labrador. If daily cleaning and care is ignored, Labrador's ears are prone to parasites or inflammation, resulting in itchy and smelly ears. You can use ear cleaners to clean earwax and remove odor in the ears, which is beneficial to the health of your Labrador; you can also use ear drops to treat inflamed ears.

Anal glands stinky

The odor of Labradors mainly comes from the glands on both sides of the anus. However, Labradors living at home cannot push out excess anal gland fluid because they do not exercise much and have reduced leg muscle strength. The accumulation of anal glands causes obstruction and swelling. At this time, the anal glands will produce a bad smell, which will lead to inflammation, bleeding or even rupture. Therefore, the Labrador will smell very bad.

If you encounter such a situation. The owner should remove the secretions from the glands when bathing the Labrador, and it will be better. About four o'clock and eight o'clock on both sides of the "little chrysanthemum". Each has an opening to discharge secretions from the anal gland sac. It will be difficult to squeeze at first. If you use a little force, the Labrador may feel some pain and discomfort. It will be better after squeezing a few times.

Oral diseases

The decrease in the antibacterial properties of Labrador’s oral cavity will also allow bacteria to easily invade Labrador’s body, causing Labrador’s bad breath, which will be very harmful to Labrador’s body in the long run and will also make Labrador It often becomes smelly, especially when it is intimate with the owner, which will make the owner avoid it.

Pay attention to brushing and washing Labrador’s teeth regularly to effectively control Labrador’s dental calculus, so that Labrador can have a good breath. You can also choose some big bones or teeth-grinding snacks for Labrador on weekdays, such as chicken jerky and chicken-wrapped chips. These snacks with a certain hardness can not only clean and grind Labrador’s teeth, but also reward Labrador!

Skin diseases

Sometimes skin diseases can also cause Labrador odor. Generally speaking, Labrador's skin disease is mainly characterized by round bald spots with broken hair on the skin of the head, neck and limbs, covered with gray scales. In severe cases, many ringworm spots are connected into one; and if If the symptoms are mild and not obvious, a sample of the case must be taken, that is, use a surgical knife or tweezers to scrape some hair roots and scales from the junction of the lesions for microscopic examination.

Remember, if you can’t hold it, it’s best not to guess on your own, but go to a veterinarian for diagnosis. Also, when a Labrador recovers, fungi and parasites will definitely be left behind, so pay attention to some daily necessities used by the Labrador before, and burn or throw them away if necessary to prevent the bacteria from coming back.
