It is usually paired with some fruits and vegetables, so that the Golden Retriever will have sufficient nutrition.

Ear inflammation

The ears of golden retrievers need regular cleaning and care. Part of the smell on dogs comes from the ears, especially golden retrievers with thicker hair like golden retrievers.

You can use ear cleaners to clean earwax and remove odor in the ears, which is beneficial to the health of golden retrievers; you can also use ear drops to treat inflamed ears.

Anal glands stinky

The smell of Golden Retrievers mainly comes from the glands on both sides of the anus. However, Golden Retrievers living at home, because they do not exercise much and have reduced leg muscle strength, are unable to push excess anal gland fluid out, causing anal gland accumulation and obstruction. When the anal glands are swollen, they will produce a bad smell, which will lead to inflammation, bleeding or even rupture. Therefore, the golden retriever will smell very bad.
