Pet Odors

Pet Odors can adversely affect your pets and the relationship you share with them.  While many people enjoy cologne, some dogs and cats prefer to put more unsavory scents on their bodies.  These often are washable.  Some skin odors are not.  They may be due to over-productive skin glands, inappropriate grooming habits, or skin infections.

Ears are a common source of yeast and bacterial overgrowth.  This can cause great discomfort for animals and may lead to more serious problems.

Anal glands often contribute to pet odor and distress.  Seeing your pet scoot their bottom along the ground is a sure sign of discomfort.  This may be due to intestinal parasites or from inflamed anal glands.  Anal glands frequently require veterinary attention to alleviate the discomfort.

The mouth is another source of pet odor.  This can be due to infection, diet, kidney disease or metabolic disease.  If you notice a new aroma following your pet, it is important to identify the source.  Many times the odor may be a sign of a medical problem and warrants a careful physical examination.
