Programming Movies Stay up to date on the latest breaking news in science and science fiction. Interesting that you should ask, as SpaceGrrrl recently went through her very own private battle with dog stank.
Dog stink really can happen to even the most lovingly maintained pets.
The most important thing about dog odour is that it is usually indicative of a somewhat bigger problem. Stinky dogs tend to stink as more of a symptom of something else. Usually the offenders are bacterial or yeast based skin infections, ear infections and seborrhea. This problem is often confounded by the fact that dogs who stink due to disease will often try to either rid or mask the offensive smell by rolling in such fragrant delights as dead animal and cat poop. Skin diseases are relatively easy to treat with the help of your veterinarian, and sometimes, even a change in dog food will do the trick.
