Bernedoodles, like any other dog breed, shouldn't have an unusually strong odor if they are healthy and well-groomed. If your bernedoodle's smell persists even with regular baths, it might be indicative of an underlying health issue.
- Check for any signs of skin infection, such as redness, itchiness, or flakiness.
- Ensure that your dog's ears are clean and free of debris, as ear infections can cause a strong odor.
- Look into possible dental issues, bad breath can sometimes be an indicator of dental disease.
- Consider the diet, as some foods can contribute to a stronger body odor.
- Observe whether the smell persists regardless of the grooming schedule.
Odor can often be a sign of health issues that need to be addressed to keep your bernedoodle comfortable. If you notice any accompanying symptoms, it’s important to visit a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis. Conditions such as skin infections, dental issues, or ear infections might require professional treatment, which will alleviate the odor and restore your pet's health.
