What should I do if my Yorkie has strong body odor?

1. Clean the mouth
Bad breath in Yorkies is an important source of odor. Pay attention to check the problems caused by dental calculus in dogs. The main reason is due to diet. Eating meat and other soft foods for a long time can lead to dental calculus. Meat can easily get stuck in the gaps between teeth. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily rot and become smelly. Therefore, owners should still choose some natural dog food that is low in oil and salt. The dog food itself has a certain hardness and can have a teething effect. Also brush your dog’s teeth regularly to maintain oral health.
2. Bath regularly
Sometimes skin diseases can also cause Yorkies to have odor. You should bathe your Yorkie regularly with special pet shower gel, about once a week in summer, once every two weeks in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. But if your dog’s skin disease is serious, it’s best to take your dog to the doctor as soon as possible.
3. Squeeze the anal glands
The smell of Yorkies mainly comes from the glands growing on both sides of the anus. Since Yorkies live at home for a long time, due to insufficient exercise and weak leg muscles, they cannot push out excess anal gland fluid, causing The accumulation of anal glands causes obstruction and swelling. At this time, the anal glands will produce a bad taste. Therefore, owners should regularly express the anal glands of their dogs to keep the anus free of too much odor.
