My Golden Retriever Smells Terrible. A bad smell coming from your dogs ears can be a symptom of infection. It is a good thing that your vet can check your golden retriever so that appropriate actions could be taken.
Anal glands are in fact two sacs located on either side of your Golden Retriever anus. He smells like a combo of throw-up and dirty feet all over his body. Perhaps your dog has bad breath tooth decay or gum disease.
Places where the skin tends to be moist and dark mouth ears skin folds and under the tail have the highest concentration of yeast and bacteria and the strongest smell.
2019-11-10 One of the leading causes of bad smell is bad breath due to dental problems in Golden Retrievers. We just moved into a new house with a pool and she does get wet more often. While most of the time these glands are working as intended there are some known issues that could cause sudden discharge of their secretion. Ive asked the vet and she tells me its just normal.
