The vet needs to physically remove its scent glands. It's an unnecessary procedure, but Marshalls, and many other large breeders do it anyway to appeal to a grander public. In Europe, descenting is considered cruel and unusual, and is often illegal.

Descenting is a surgical procedure performed by veterinarians, to remove the anal sacs, which are musk-producing glands on either side of the anal opening.
