First, check your pet’s breath. Dogs are notorious for having stinky breath because their teeth aren’t brushed as often as they should be. Plaque and tartar can easily build up on the teeth, making your pet’s breath stink. Start brushing his teeth before he ends up with gum disease and his breath smells even worse.

Hate that wet dog smell? It’s not an uncommon stench, even if you wash your dog regularly. In addition, it may not be caused by moisture either! That smell is usually the result of oil building up on your dog’s skin, and over-washing may actually cause him to produce more of it. A dry bath provides the perfect compromise if your dog isn’t due for a traditional bath for a little while.
