My female dog is in season and there's a smell

Thanks for your reply, I’ve decided to take her hygiene pants off and the smells have gone. I’m only putting them on her at night now... and now there’s no smell at all... I reckon it was because she was licking the pants etc. and since the blood was sitting there, that’s what caused it. I’ll keep an eye on her to see if the smell is definitely gone, otherwise I’ll head to the vet. Thanks anyway!

Hi Xenaty, First of all, although it might seem very similar, a dog’s bleeding isn't really comparable to a human period. In women, the blood loss is due to the breakdown and shedding of the uterine lining (the endometrium). In dogs, the bleeding is simply caused by a massive influx of blood to the area. Personally, I’ve never found being in season to cause a strong odour. On the other hand, infections certainly can. I’d suggest contacting a vet to talk it through with them. "We’ve decided to buy her some special dog pants to avoid having to wash the blankets and sheets every day" Do you let her sleep in your bed?
