Anal gland secretions from canines, if expressed on furniture, can produce a persistent and unpleasant odor. The scent originates from fluid contained within the anal sacs, located on either side of the dog’s anus. These sacs naturally express during defecation, but can also release fluid when the animal is stressed or startled, leading to unwanted deposits on household surfaces.
Addressing this odor is crucial for maintaining a clean and comfortable living environment. The pervasive smell can impact the overall hygiene of a home and potentially affect the well-being of its occupants. Historically, various cleaning methods have been employed, ranging from simple deodorizers to more intensive stain removal techniques, reflecting a continued need for effective solutions.
