Help, my dog smells! How regular grooming can prevent unpleasant odors.


You might not notice it anymore, but many dogs smell anything but pleasant. Unpleasant odors and a smelly dog can have several causes, but the most common one is inadequate coat care. To ensure that you and your guests suffer less from the smell, good coat and skin care is essential. There is a simple solution: regular visits to the groomer. A visit to a professional groomer not only keeps your dog's coat healthy but also helps prevent unpleasant odors.

## Why does your dog smell?

There are several reasons for the unpleasant odor. It can be related to a buildup of dirt and sebum on the skin, which creates a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. This problem can worsen if your dog has allergies, as the skin's resistance can decrease. Especially in moist areas like between the toes and skin folds, this problem can develop quickly. Infected ears can also spread a foul smell. Other medical causes of bad odor include dental issues (bad breath) and anal gland problems. Problems with anal glands spread a very specific odor.

## How does grooming help against unpleasant odors?

Regular grooming can help reduce or even completely prevent these unpleasant odors. A professional groomer thoroughly cleans the coat. Your dog will be washed with a professional shampoo that suits your dog's coat. Then the groomer removes excess dirt and loose hair, preventing it from accumulating in your dog's coat. Mats are also removed, and the coat is trimmed into shape. This helps prevent dirt from sticking to the coat and allows the coat and skin to breathe better, giving bacteria and fungi less chance to spread unpleasant odors. Sometimes, hair in the ears is plucked to allow dirt to come out more easily. Of course, the hair around the backside is also trimmed, so nothing nasty stays stuck there!

## How often does your dog need a grooming session?

How often a dog needs a grooming session depends on the breed and coat type. Short-haired dogs usually only need a few treatments per year, while long-haired breeds and dogs with thick or curly coats need more frequent grooming to keep their coat in top condition. By taking your dog to the groomer on time, you not only prevent unpleasant odors but also keep your dog comfortable and healthy.

## What does regular grooming ultimately provide for your dog (and you)?

A regular grooming session is not only important for the appearance of your dog but also plays a crucial role in preventing unpleasant odors. By keeping the coat and skin healthy, you avoid issues such as bacterial growth and dirt buildup. A visit to the groomer is, therefore, an investment in both your dog's comfort and a more pleasant household. Your dog will not only look better but also smell better and feel more comfortable!

## How to find a suitable groomer?

Sometimes finding a suitable professional groomer nearby can be difficult. Finding a good groomer is essential for your dog's care. Pay attention to their experience with your breed and reviews from other owners. Preferably, look for a groomer who provides personal attention and makes your dog feel at ease.

If you're looking for a professional groomer in your area, platforms like [Snuffly.nl](https://snuffly.nl) can be helpful. Here you can find reviews from other dog owners, easily compare rates, and schedule appointments.
