One of the best things about pets is being able
to cuddle, snuggle, and play with them. But if
your pet stinks, then you probably don't want
even want to be near them. Pets can carry a bad
smell at times and while this is natural, it's
not always pleasant. There are a few things that
you can do to get remove these pet odors, but the
most important thing you must do before anything
else is find out the cause of the pet odor. If
you don't get to the root of the problem, you'll
always find yourself battling with bad pet odors.

Skin problems are one of the main causes of pet
odor, and there can be many different causes of
skin problems. Take a close look at your pet's
skin and see if it's flaking, cracking, oozing,
or if there any other noticeable blemishes. Also,
if they wear a flea collar, take it off for a few
days and see if that helps. Flea collars are
notorious for causing skin problems. Remove the
collar, and you may remove the pet odor. If it's
a skin problem that's a little more complicated
than just a flea collar, be sure to call your
vet. They'll not only have a solution for the
skin problem, but can probably also tell you how
to remove the pet odor too.

There may also be other causes of pet odor that
require a veterinarian's attention. One such
cause might be infections of the ears or glands.
These areas of a pet's body are especially prone
to infection and should there be a problem, they
can often cause sores to appear that can crack,
ooze, or bleed. Along with these unpleasant
symptoms, the infections can also carry a bad
smell. Clearing up the infection might be enough
in these cases to get rid of the pet odor.

If you've looked carefully at your pet and can't
find any of these causes of pet odor, your pet
may just have an odor that's very easy to get rid
of. Pets naturally pick up odors from things like
oily skin, being near their litter boxes, being
outside, and picking up smelly odors in their
hair or skin. These are very common causes of pet
odors and fortunately, are very easy to remove by
just bathing your pet regularly and ensuring that
their fur and skin is always kept clean.

Sure, when your pet smells, all you want to do is
remove the pet odor. The first thing you need to
do before you work to get rid of it though is
determine what the cause of the odor is. This
will ensure that the odor doesn't come back when
you do get rid of it, and that there's not a
potentially serious problem with your pet.
