What should I do if my Golden Retriever has heavy body odor? Feed your Golden Retriever dry dog ​​food and brush its teeth regularly to remove bad breath; bathe your Golden Retriever regularly with a pet-specific shower gel to prevent skin odor; clean your Golden Retriever's ears and teeth regularly. Squeezing and cleaning the anal glands can prevent body odor to a certain extent.

1. Clean the mouth

Bad breath in golden retrievers is an important source of odor. Pay attention to check the problems caused by dental calculus in dogs. The main reason is due to diet. Eating meat and other soft foods for a long time can lead to dental calculus. Meat can easily get stuck in the gaps between teeth. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily rot and become smelly. Therefore, owners should still choose some natural dog food that is low in oil and salt. The dog food itself has a certain hardness and can have a teething effect. You should also brush your golden retriever’s teeth regularly to maintain oral health.

2. Clean the ears

Secondly, you should clean your Golden Retriever’s ears regularly in life. Dog earwax also forms very quickly, and is mainly white, light yellow, or yellow in color, and its shape ranges from powdery, lumpy, to mushy. Generally speaking, this is normal. However, the owner must remove this earwax in time. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will easily breed ear mites. In severe cases, it will induce ear diseases and cause the golden retriever to have a strong body odor.

3. Bath regularly

Sometimes skin diseases can also cause odor in golden retrievers. Golden retrievers should be bathed regularly with a special pet shower gel, about once a week in summer, once every two weeks in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. And it should be noted that long-term consumption of food with too much salt will cause skin diseases. Golden retrievers should be fed low-oil and low-salt dog food.

4. Squeeze the anal glands

The odor of Golden Retrievers mainly comes from the glands growing on both sides of the anus. Since Golden Retrievers live at home for a long time, due to insufficient exercise and weak leg muscles, they cannot push out excess anal gland fluid, causing The accumulation of anal glands causes obstruction and swelling. At this time, the anal glands will produce a bad taste. Therefore, owners should regularly express the anal glands of golden retrievers to keep the anus free of too much odor.
