Stinky dogs

I think I’d leave the anal gland squeezing to the professionals (breeders, vets, groomers)…if one is impacted, you could cause it to rupture…There is also the chance of infection…no fun for owner or doggie!!

You should squeeze their anal glands…and that’s exactly what I mean- squeeze their anuses like you would a pimple.

I suggest rubber gloves and safety goggles

I find my dogs have a smell when their fur is wet? After if dries they smell like what ever I bathed them with. They do smell of wet fur until dry.

What are you bathing them in?

If they “stink” even right after they’ve been bathed and dried, it either means they have doggie oder (from the anal glands)…and some dogs DO have way more doggie oder than others…or it could possibly be the food you feed. Make sure that the first two ingredients on the bag are meat sourced ingredients…

You might just simply be sensitive to what even the nicest dogs smell like.

if it is there fur try rubbing them down with a bounce fabric softener sheet, I got this in an email once.

Maybe their mouths are stinking? Try to narrow down where the smell is coming from…

some dogs just have a naturally unpleasant odor. stock up on febreeze and vacuum often.
