Poodle Odor

RE: Poodle Odor Post By Debbie (Guest Post) (06/20/2008) I have a 12lb. poodle and he had a terrible smell to him. When my daughter's come home they would complain about the smell. I had his teeth cleaned and some pulled. The smell went away and once again, the smell is back...it's been about 8 months. My poodle is 10 years old and I have never had this problem until about 1 year ago....So I guess It's back to the vets....Can't stand the smell... It's embrassing when company comes over...

They get infected real fast as their ears hang down and can't get any air to dry them out. Check them out it does bother the poor baby.

I hope your vet was able to tell you why he smells. Please keep us posted. If it was his teeth, you can brush them often to keep mouth odor down. Again- you are great to adopt him.

We got his abcessed teeth removed and have had no more problems. Definetly should consider a vet or maybe even a groomer, they may be able to give you some advice that will cost much less. Our groomer does our dogs ears cause you do need to keep the hair out of them.

He smelled like old dirty dog. We just used a spray of deluted poodle perfume. I would take him to vet anyway and see if they suggest something. good luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poodle Odor Post By suzi_homemaker01 (Guest Post) (01/02/2006) They do make doggie cologne and sell it at Walmart. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poodle Odor Post By Ruth (Guest Post) (01/02/2006) Do check with your vet. Your dog could have any number of problems, as the ones mentioned above. If it turns out to be gas, try a good "lamb and rice" dog food. Even some "good" dog foods contain a lot of soy and that can stink! You are super to adopt the dog. Don't give up!

Once the tooth was pulled, the odor was gone. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poodle Odor Post By blm (Guest Post) (01/01/2006) I agree with checking with the vet to have the ears and anal glands examined. It makes a world of difference with my dog when her glands are "taken care of"! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poodle Odor Post By Syd (Guest Post) (01/01/2006) I would check with the vet. I had a poodle for 16 years and did not have a problem with dog odor. Someone mentioned the anal glands ... my daughter's poodle had that problem!

Those usually help with odor. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Poodle Odor Post By cari (Guest Post) (01/01/2006) I would take the pup to the vets and ask if he needs to have his anal glands expessed. Trust me, this is not something you want to do yourself. Another culprit could be his anxiety about being moved...gas perhaps?

I have a teacup poodle that gets them and needs to be treated for them because of the fold over ears, bacteria gets in them and then an infection starts up. Report Spam or Abuse
