3. Help my dog ​​has anal gland problems


Problems with the anal glands are a very common cause of a smelly dog. Irritation in the anus is usually related to food . The anal glands are glands near the anus that produce a strong smelling stinky fluid. The substance has a function in demarcating the territory of a dog and can be released during stress. An incorrect diet can lead to farting and thus irritation of the anus. This irritation causes itching which causes your dog to bite at the spot. It is possible that the current diet leads to allergies and thus causes itching in the anus. Then there is also the possibility that the anal glands are overfilled and inflamed which can cause itching in the dog. These glands with storage bags are located under the start and if itching occurs there, the dog will bite in the area. Sometimes you also see the so-called sled riding. They make riding movements and slide their behind over the ground.

Symptoms include bad breath, flatulence, smelly stools, (frequent) vomiting and diarrhea.

Why dry kibble?

Dry kibble is easy and is almost always made into complete pet food. So you don't have to give it any other food. It is no problem for the dog to always get the same kibble. We as humans often find this strange. Combining multiple foods is therefore not necessary for your dog and can even cause problems. High-quality food is the basis for good health and keeps the stench outside. Switching to other food is often a good solution if your dog stinks. In order to be able to properly assess the result of the new food, you must give the new food for at least 6 weeks in a row. Also pay attention to how many and which snacks or chews your dog gets, in addition to the standard food. After 6 weeks you can say: help, my dog ​​doesn't stink anymore!
