Would you like your friend to smell as good as after a bath? If so, you should know that you are not asking for the impossible. In fact, with some tricks you will get it not only to smell good but you can also be sure that you are doing everything possible so that it has good growth and development.
And, as you are going to see, it is really not difficult to have a healthy dog. So if you are wondering how to make my dog smell better, do not hesitate to continue reading.
Feed him high-quality food
Every dog must be fed food that is suitable for him. Today we find feed that, when reading the ingredients, we might think that they are made to feed goats and not dogs. The reason is that our friends are carnivores, and many of these feeds contain cereals (oats, wheat, corn, rice, cereal flours) that not only do not need but can also cause allergies.
So my first advice is that give him a feed that contains only and exclusively protein of animal origin and a very low percentage (30% or less) of vegetables, such as Acana, Orijen, Taste of the Wild, True Instinct High Meat, etc.
Brush it daily
It is very important to brush the furry every day to remove dead hair as well as dirt that can stick on the street and / or at home. With that, you will make it look much healthier, because your hair will be shinier and more well-cared for. And that's not to mention that your relationship will become even stronger, which is always good news .
After every brushing, it is highly recommended to pass him the FURminator, which is a stiff bristle brush that removes that dead hair that a normal brush usually leaves behind.
Bathe him once a month
No more no less. If you bathe more often, a natural fat will be removed that protects the skin and isolates it. Use a dog shampoo for this mixed with 50% apple cider vinegar for hair to regain its shine, making it look healthy.
In the event that it becomes very dirty and the month has not passed, it can be cleaned with dry shampoo for dogs or wet wipes for animals.
Clean his ears and mouth regularly
Both the ears and the mouth of the dog can give off a bad smell if they are not taken care of. To avoid it, the ears must be cleaned with sterile gauze (one for each ear) moistened with an eye drop that the vet will give you, at least twice a week. You should only clean the outermost part, moving your finger slowly in circles.
Regarding the mouth, you can clean his teeth with toothpaste for dogs that you will find in pet stores. In any case, if the smell is really very unpleasant, we recommend taking it to the vet to examine it as it could have an infection.
In this way, you can eliminate the bad smell of your dog.
