Scared Stinky!

My female dog emits this “metal-like” odor when she gets scared. The smell seems to come from her rear end. There is no visible residue, but it stinks up the whole house & I have to clean her to get the smell off. What is this? (she is 1 year old, spayed & no problems with anal glands).

Answer #1

Dogs do emit an order when they get very scared (or very excited) the anal glands secrete an oily substance that sticks to the hairs around the anus…and yes, it’s a very unpleasent oder.
