1. Take a bath regularly
Sometimes skin diseases can also cause the odor of golden retrievers. You should bathe your dog regularly with a special pet shower gel, about once a week in summer, once every two weeks in spring and autumn, and once a month in winter. And it should be noted that long-term consumption of food with too much salt will cause skin diseases. Usually, dogs should be fed low-fat and low-salt dog food.
2. Brush your teeth every day
The Golden Retriever’s heavy body odor may also be due to bad breath. Generally, dogs eat dog food, but some dogs eat the same diet as humans. If a dog eats meat or some highly irritating food, which causes the dog to get angry, the dog will easily develop bad breath like humans. At this time, the owner should brush the dog's teeth every day after eating. In normal times, he can buy some gum for the dog, so that the tartar can be removed through chewing. However, if your dog’s gums become inflamed, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Generally, your dog’s heavy body odor will disappear.
3. Clean the ears
In life, you should also clean the little golden retriever’s ears regularly. Dog earwax also forms very quickly, and is mainly white, light yellow, or yellow in color, and its shape ranges from powdery, lumpy, to mushy. Generally speaking, this is normal. However, the owner must remove this earwax in time. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will easily breed ear mites. In severe cases, it will induce ear diseases and cause the dog to have a strong body odor.
4. Squeeze the anal glands
Another reason for golden retriever body odor is that the dog’s anal glands are blocked. The anal gland sacs are filled with anal gland fluid, which will turn into black or dark brown liquid or mud after a long period of time, and the smell will be unpleasant. An unhealthy diet can lead to clogged anal glands. At this time, the anal glands will produce a bad smell, and many owners think that the dog has a dirty smell. Therefore, the anal glands of dogs should be squeezed regularly to keep the anal glands fresh and free of odor.
