1. Give it a bath
It is normal for American Bully dogs to have body odor. For dogs that do a lot of outdoor activities, it is normal for dogs to have body odor for a day or two after taking a bath. Indoor dogs usually start to smell body odor in 4-7 days. The general recommendation is to take a bath once every one to two weeks to eliminate the odor on your dog.
2. Wipe the body
Some bully dogs are born with a strong body odor. In addition to washing them once a week or two, you can also wipe the dog's body after exercising.
3. Treatment of diseases
Sometimes it’s not body odor, but the smell caused by disease. Such as ear odor caused by otitis media and ear scabies; bad breath caused by indigestion and oral diseases; American bully dog odor caused by skin problems. These are not body odors and cannot be removed by bathing. They can only be treated medically.
4. Clean up in time
Body odor caused by physiology and excretion, such as urine and feces contaminating the hair, body, or anal glands, will make the American Bully smell bad. Many dogs are stinky not because of their body odor, but because of the smell of their urine and anal glands.
American Bully Dogs often go to places with bad environments and are contaminated by the odor of other dogs, kennels, etc. Cleaning the environment and paying attention to dog socialization are ways to improve it.
