Excessive secretion of sebum is one of the causes of seborrhea. Even though my body is sticky, I have a lot of dandruff and my body odor becomes strong. The causes of seborrhea are diverse and complex and require examination and treatment at a veterinary clinic.
measures
● Brushing
Brushing has the effect of removing unwanted hair and dust, so make it a habit after taking a walk or playing. It is also recommended to use a brushing spray that has a stain-removing effect.
Tips for good brushing"Tips for brushing and nail clippers to keep your dog healthy"But I am introducing it.
● Shampoo
Don't shampoo too much just because it smells. If you wash it too much, it may cause skin troubles, so it is recommended to wash it once or twice a month. The important thing is not to dry out. Let's dry it well, such as using a hair dryer.
Origin
The ears are easy to get stuffy and germs can easily grow, so it is a place that easily causes odors. Be especially careful of dogs with long ears covered with long hair or drooping ears.
If the odor becomes stronger, there is a possibility of trouble such as otitis externa, so go to a veterinary clinic immediately.
The cause of otitis externa is thought to be ear mites, bacteria, Malassezia (yeast), etc. In particular, bacteria and yeast have a peculiar smell.
measures
Check for odors and wipe gently with a soft cloth if you are concerned. However, cleaning your ears at home is risky and is not recommended. There is a danger that the dog will hate you and move suddenly and hurt you.
Origin
On the left and right sides of the dog's anus, there are glands (anal glands) that smell the territory and produce secretions that are used to identify individuals. This is why you can smell your ass in greetings with other dogs.
The secretions are excreted with the poop, but they can also come out when you are relaxed, agitated, or tense.
measures
Puppies, senior dogs, and small dogs do not excrete secretions well and need to squeeze the anal glands to produce accumulated secretions. As a guide, get treatment at a veterinary clinic about once a month if it is difficult at home. There is also a trimming salon that you can ask, so let's check in advance.
Too much secretion can cause the anal glands to rupture. If you see the behavior of rubbing your buttocks on the ground, it is a sign that you are accumulating and you need to take care of it.
Origin
Leftover food residue on your teeth and spills and drool on the hair around your mouth can cause bad breath.
measures
Get in the habit of brushing your teeth regularly, even little by little. Here are some tips and methods for brushing your teeth that you can start even now"You can do it at home! How to care for your dog's toothpaste"But I am introducing it.
When the residue (plaque) on the teeth hardens, it becomes tartar, which eventually causes periodontal disease and other illnesses. If you are worried about bad breath, you may have advanced periodontal disease, so go to a veterinary clinic immediately.
However, the owners who live with them tend to get used to bad breath, so it can be difficult to notice.Periodontal disease checklist of how to care for your dog's toothpastePlease also refer to.
Origin
Poop and urine odors are caused by ammonia, undigested food, and gas produced by bacteria in the intestines. Excretion is a physiological phenomenon, but when the intestinal environment deteriorates, the odor may become strong.
measures
In order to maintain the intestinal environment, it is important that you do not give too much snacks and food, and that there is no stress for your dog such as lack of exercise. Don't let the owner decide on your own, but take appropriate measures such as consulting at your veterinary clinic.

It is to create an environment that is easy to clean.
● Ventilation
Especially on hot days, cold days, and bad weather, you may hesitate to open the windows, but the air tends to be trapped, so open the windows firmly to replace the air in the room.
It is also recommended to install odor-prone toilets and cage circles in a well-ventilated place in the house that will be an air passage.
● Laundry
Wash things frequently, and even if it's difficult, wash them regularly. For items that are difficult to wash regularly, it is recommended to use a deodorant or deodorant spray.

● Excretion
After your dog's toilet, get rid of the excrement as soon as possible. Even if you haven't failed, early care is important because the odorous components are diffused into the air.
● Basic care without trying to erase with scent
If you try to disguise the odor with aroma goods or fabric softeners that have a nice scent, they will mix and you will end up with an unpleasant odor. If you want to use a good scent, take care of the odor first, or use it in a room where your dog does not come in.
At that time, please check whether the aroma goods etc. can be used even if you have a dog. However, even if the dog is OK, it may be life-threatening for other animals. Be very careful if you live with other pets.
● Odor and sterilization items are for pets
Make sure to use pet-friendly or pet-friendly items for odor care. When taking care of odors, please choose one that is safe for your dog.
