Sure, puppies have that sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/baby-steps-to-great-puppy-care-%ef%bb%bf\/\">sweet-smelling funk<\/a> to them, but it often wears off as they grow up. Dogs might not always smell, but they can give off a fetid odor as they paw through old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-stinkiness-means\">What Stinkiness Means<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true: dogs can be a bit gross sometimes. They sure don\u2019t distinguish between feces, grass, mud, or garbage. Instead, they seem to really enjoy all the olfactory pleasures that come with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/why-do-dogs-drool\/\">canine territory<\/a>, even if it means we must pinch our noses every once in a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As dogs age, they tend to get into less trouble. Eventually, they\u2019ll prefer their warm, cozy bed to trolling through brackish ponds. If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/aging-gracefully-senior-pet-care-and-health\/\">old dog smells<\/a> all of a sudden, it\u2019s worth having them checked out. Why? Because foul smells can be caused by or related to many possible health conditions. The longer you wait to investigate, the worse symptoms can become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"where-s-it-coming-from\">Where\u2019s It Coming From?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might get a general blast of stinkiness from your smelly dog, making it hard to figure out which part of their body the smell emanates from. In this case, we encourage you to look closely at their skin. Do you notice any inflammation that might <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/is-your-dogs-heartworm-testing-up-to-date\/\">signal an infection<\/a> of some sort (fungal, bacterial or parasitic)? Check the ears for any signs of a nasty smell caused by yeast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also worth noting, allergies can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/why-your-dogs-paws-smell-weird\/\">dry skin, itchiness, and a slightly musty smell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"checking-the-bum\">Checking the Bum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Few pet owners jump at the chance to look at their old dog\u2019s rear end, but that questionable aroma could definitely be the result of impacted or infected anal glands. This can be effectively treated if seen right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s be clear: dogs pass gas. Sometimes, they toot a lot. Supplementing their diet could relieve this symptom, and should be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/forms\/appointment.html\">addressed with your senior dog\u2019s veterinarian<\/a>. Digestion issues can be related to many issues and really benefit from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/veterinary-diagnostics.html\">medical care and diagnostics<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old dog smells can also be explained by incontinence. It\u2019s not always noticeable at first, but some dogs leak urine or suffer from softer stools. As your senior dog ages, their symptoms can worsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"old-dog-smells\">Old Dog Smells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Doggy breath is certainly common, but that doesn\u2019t mean it should be accepted as normal. In fact, foul-smelling breath can be seen as the first stage of periodontal disease. If it\u2019s been a while since you brushed your dog\u2019s teeth, or had them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/pet-dental.html\">professionally examined, cleaned, treated, and X-rayed<\/a>, this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/forms\/appointment.html\">perfect time to get it scheduled<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, when a dog licks their skin and fur with stinky breath, they can actually transfer some of the rank oral bacteria directly onto themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of funky breath, did you know that diabetes can cause a fruity, sweetish breath? We highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/forms\/appointment.html\">scheduling an appointment <\/a>for your dog when you experience this telltale sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sweet-stinky-senior\">Sweet, Stinky Senior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed a spike in stink as your old dog walks by or snuggles on you, please call us at (916) 737-5670. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/staff\/\">Our team<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/\">East Sacramento Veterinary Center<\/a> is always here for your dog.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if you don\u2019t live with a dog, or never have, you could probably still identify with their distinct stink.
