Regular dog baths can damage their skin and coat, instead try to wash and rub their paws directly after walks. Dogs can be quite active and if they are off the leash running around, you may not know what they have stepped in. Not only does washing their paws on their way in help to stop muddy paw prints, it also means you can be sure that whatever they have stepped in does not get tracked through your home, helping to stop bad smells. If you have bathed your dog and you’re still noticing a bad stench, or if they seem to be paying more attention to their ears than normal, they may have an infection. It is strongly advised you see a vet for a proper cleaning as ears are delicate and can easily be damaged. You may feel like a time consuming deep clean is the only solution to bad pet smells, but often there just aren’t enough hours in the day.
