Why are fat dogs so smelly?

Not all dogs that are overweight are smelly, but there are several reasons why fatter dogs are more likely to emit strong odours.

  • Fatter dogs may have more folds of skin where bacteria breeds, causing a smell.
  • They are less able to reach all parts of their body, so cannot wash themselves as effectively. (Yes, many dogs wash themselves, just as cats do.)
  • They are more prone to having blocked anal glands.
  • Fatter dogs are also more prone to bowel and stomach problems, which cause smells.
