Episode notes
Anal Glands vs Styptic Powder
- Styptic powder tasting is less unbearable than smelling anal glands all day, but both are unpleasant.
- Gland consistency affects odor; watery glands tend to smell worse than thick toothpaste-like ones.
Dachshund Breed Insights
- Dachshunds come in miniature and standard sizes with three coat types: smooth, wire, and long.
- They are badger hunters with a terrier-like nature making them tough and fascinating dogs.
