Make sure that you purchase a Dogo Argentino from respectable breeders for reputable ones have the puppy checked and tested with Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response to know whether or not the puppy is able to hear or not. This test is only performed by a qualified veterinarian with experience and skills in using the machines to be sure that the result is accurate.

Dogo Argentino is also predisposed to hip dysplasia for the reason the it is a huge breed of dog of mastiff stock and just like the other big dogs they can possibly develop dysplastic joints, specifically the hips.

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.

Dogo Argentino

  • 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.
