Causes of golden retriever body odor:

1. Not taking a bath for too long. If your golden retriever hasn't been bathed for too long, he will develop severe body odor. If you don’t blow dry after a bath, your dog’s hair will also smell fishy.

2. The dog has bad breath. Poor oral hygiene of golden retrievers, dog oral inflammation, dental calculus, constipation, etc. can all cause bad breath in dogs.

3. Unbalanced diet. When a golden retriever eats too much meat, it will cause fermentation in the intestines and smell from the mouth. At the same time, meat can easily remain between the teeth, leading to fermentation and decay, resulting in an unpleasant odor.

4. The dog does not clean its anal glands in time. There are anal glands near the golden retriever's anus. The secretions in the anal glands have a very pungent smell. If not cleaned in time, they may overflow or become inflamed at any time, which will cause the dog's body to smell fishy.

5. The dog’s ears are sick. The ears of golden retrievers are bent down and have poor ventilation, which can easily trap dirt and even infect ear mites. It will cause the dog's ears to smell bad, which will in turn cause the dog's body odor.
