Washing is necessary, but not often.
Healthy animals generally do not have an unpleasant odor. Cats, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs take care of their own hygiene, noted veterinarian-therapist, surgeon, orthopedist, and radiologist Alexander POLOZ.
When washing, we remove not only dirt but also the protective layer of the animal's skin, which protects it from inflammation and cracks...
For caring owners, a good solution may be dry shampoo. It should be applied to the fur and then thoroughly brushed out. In cats, the odor usually comes from the litter box, as they do not use the same spot twice.
Thus, if there is an odor, the questions should be directed not at the pet but at its owner.
