What to do if your pug has body odor
What to do if the Pug has body odor? If you find that the Pug has body odor, you must first check whether the Pug has a skin disease and treat it symptomatically. You must bathe the Pug regularly and deworm it; secondly, brush the Pug’s teeth every day and use ear drops regularly. Clean the ear canal of your pug; the accumulation of anal gland fluid can also cause odor, so you need to squeeze the anal glands of your pug regularly.

When you find that your Pug has body odor, you should first check all parts of its skin to see if there are any abnormalities. If the body odor is caused by a skin disease, then it needs to be treated symptomatically according to the type of skin disease. You should also pay attention to bathing and deworming your pug regularly to prevent skin diseases.

Secondly, in daily life, parents must pay attention to taking their dogs to have their teeth checked regularly to prevent health hazards caused by stones. It is best for parents to brush their pug's teeth every week to clean the remaining foreign matter and tartar in the mouth, keep the mouth fresh, prevent the occurrence of oral diseases, and avoid bad breath. If finances allow, it is best for parents to take their dogs to the dentist regularly and have their teeth cleaned to clean tartar and calculus to ensure oral health.

There is also the odor caused by ear canal dirt or otitis media and other diseases. In response to this, it is necessary to clean the ear canals of Pug dogs. First, remove their ear diseases. After that, the same goes for Pug dogs. Dogs develop the habit of cleaning their ear canals regularly.

Finally, the anal glands of the Pug must be expressed regularly. Since the Pug lives at home for a long time, due to insufficient exercise and weak leg muscle strength, the excess anal gland fluid cannot be pushed out, causing anal gland accumulation and obstruction. When swelling occurs, the anal glands will produce a bad taste. Therefore, the owner should express the anal glands of the pug regularly to keep the anus free of too much odor.
