Why does a Dogo Argentino smell bad?

Sometimes bathing may not be the reason for the dog to develop an odor. Sometimes the answer can be seen beneath the coat.

  • Skin allergies, the Dogo Argentino can develop rashes which they find so irritating that they constantly scratch them, wounding the skin and causing calluses. Because of this, a smell permeates that is not very pleasant.
  • The type of foods they are eating as some are not right for the breed’s diet.
  • Dog’s mouth is regularly cleaned will prevent any onset of offensive odors. A healthy mouth should have pearly whites, pink gums that hug the teeth without any brown spots or deposits in the gum line or at the back of the teeth. These are signs of oral disease and should be attended to immediately. “Doggy breath” isn’t exactly “healthy breath”. Dental check-ups and preventive methods such as regular brushing should keep the bad breath away.

A proper diet and correct nutritional intake will lessen the chances of the breed getting ear infections or skin allergies. With this in mind, it is imperative that owners have the knowledge of what foods are beneficial to the dog. Breeders have a feeding routine that owners are suggested to try by way of switch if they wish to. A Dogo Argentino should not be over fed, because the main focus is the correct development of muscle, bone and joint health.

Obesity could be a serious health problem if owners attempt to spoil their pups. The following foods are appropriate to them: yogurt for bone growth and digestive system, corn or canola oils for coat and skin, and 1 or 2 hard boiled / scrambled eggs for supplying vitamins and Omega 3. Responsible owners should see that even pets need to be fed regularly, and also need the support of vitamins and minerals.
