Re: Chlorophyll and NOW a CAUSE of doggy smell

[Guest guest]

Greetings, the anal gland suggestion is probably right on target. When

I used to raise Collies, I never had a problem with the anal glands so

unfortunately for my 2 now 4 1/2 yr. old dachsies I often wondered if

that wasn't a bunch of hooey .. but the male in particular got a

bigger & bigger bulge and obviously in discomfort so when we took him

to a pet groomer for trim nails, she suggested the anal gland

treatment for both while they bathed them ... we okeyed it & watched

while they " expressed " it with the shower wand running in the tub too

.... what a smelly mess that poor dog had as a result of our ignorance.

She informed us some dogs plug up worse & yes, the female had it too.

Check it out & see if it helps. Joyce

I wonder if this is mainly caused by unnatural diet?

I mean - wild dogs/animals don't suffer this kind of problem normally,

do they?

Females can get bad breath or body odor when they are in

heat. Wild animals do not always eat what is best for them

if food supplies are scarce. And yeah they can probably also

get impacted anal glands.

Wild does not mean 100% healthy . . . it is a nice illusion

that in the wild things are pretty, natural and perfect.

Also wild animals often eat scat of other animals. Now that

could definitely cause bad breath. <grin>

Of course I meant 'as nature intended', not feral dogs/cats living in

city sewers...

The original discussion was pertaining to domesticated animals - which

are normally fed the same crap-diet that most people eat, so it was this

I was contrasting...
