How can I improve the damp fur on my cat’s nose, and it licked itself yellow — will shaving help?

How do you keep a Poodle odor-free?

How does a dog’s cooling system work?
Dogs cool mainly through breathing, the mouth, and sweat glands on the paw pads, not through skin like humans. With few sweat glands, they pant to dissipate heat via the tongue's vessels when hot. Paw pads also have a few sweat glands for cooling, so trim paw fur in summer.

How do I get rid of my dog’s body odor?
A dog's body odor may come from sebum or bad breath, so the owner can remove it through the following methods. First, bathe the dog regularly to get rid of bacteria and sweat smells, but don't bathe too frequently or you'll damage the skin's protective barrier. Second, brush the dog's teeth regularly - generally 2-3 times a week - to keep the mouth healthy and remove oral odor. Finally, anal gland fluid is also a common source of odor, so the owner should check the dog's anal glands regularly and, if they are red and inflamed, express them promptly.
