How Do You Remove the Smell of Teddy Bear Dog Urine?
Teddy urine odor is hard to remove, so use a pet deodorizer after cleaning the spot and place activated charcoal to absorb residual smell. Keep the home ventilated and train the dog to eliminate in a fixed spot.
My dog’s ear is swollen and its behavior is odd, shaking its head often. What disease is this?
Swollen ear and frequent head shaking suggest otitis externa or ear mites. Check for debris/odor; a vet exam identifies the cause. Treat with cleaning plus antibacterial meds for otitis, or mite killer for mites.

What can my dog eat to clean its teeth?
Chewing bones, beef jerky, and carrots cleans teeth. Bones mechanically scrape plaque and tartar and exercise jaw muscles, but avoid for puppies or weak-teethed dogs. Beef jerky removes residue and boosts saliva; carrots' fiber and calcium clean plaque.
What should I do about my dog’s blocked tear duct?
Blocked nasolacrimal ducts are usually treated by flushing to remove the obstruction plus antibiotics, with good prognosis. If flushing fails, surgery may be needed. Prevent by cleaning the eyes regularly.
My rescued adult dog has likely had pups; severe tear stains, red-yellow mouth, eye inflammation
Heavy tear stains come from genes, disease, or entropion. Teddy and Bichon have shallow tear ducts and less lid space, easily tearing; only cleaning, care, or surgery helps. Disease like dacryoadenitis, ear infection, eye inflammation, or entropion can also cause it. For eye inflammation, feed lightly, rinse with saline, and use eye drops.
Why is my dog’s nose wet?
A wet nose relates to strong appetite, licking, and temperature control. Smell hunts food; a moist nose catches scent molecules, also showing good appetite. Licking cleans the nose; when uncomfortable the dog licks it. The nose is a sweat organ, so fast breathing in heat makes it wet.
A found dog; I wonder its age
From the photo, tooth whiteness and tartar suggest about 1-2 years. Tooth-based age is only a reference, as adult teeth also depend on diet and cleaning and get less accurate after 2-3 years. Also judge by facial expression, gait, coat shine, and senior hair.
What Causes a Dog’s Abnormal Body Odor?
A dog's normal mild odor turns foul with dental disease, ear infection, diet, allergies, or rolling in something smelly. Brush teeth or get a cleaning for bad breath, treat ear infections, switch food for gas, address allergies, and bathe after environmental rolling.
