How To Cure Bad Breath?

How do I cure my dog's bad breath?

  • she is a small chihuahua that has the worst breath. i've given her bones that say it cleans and freshens breath and bought dog toothpaste, but no success.

  • Answer:

    Sometimes it's in the food they eat. Try changing it... very gradually though. They also have "listerine" - type strips for doggies that you just slip on their tongues... they can't spit them out. They also have a kind of breath spray for dogs... Keep brushing your dog's teeth every day like you would your own. Try different flavors of tooth paste... there is also an additional floride goo that you can put with the toothpaste. Look around. Good Luck !! OOOHHH.. and watch that your doggie isn't eating dog poop !!

buy a theeth cleaner or take him to the vet to get his teeth brushed

I agree with iPod. You really should ask a vet, but if you don't want to do that yet, you could order this free magazine called Drs. Foster & Smith. They have a bunch of different things for any pet you could possibly own. Well any ordinary pet you could own. They should have something in there. Or you could order something online from them at www.drsfosterandsmith.com

I have three chihuahuas... The food they eat is usually the first place to start. Never feed them wet food, you want a high quality dry food....you will not find it in the grocery store. Dry kibble will help scrape plaque off the teeth...plaque is what is breeding the bacteria that causes the bad breath. Try to keep the people food to a minimum because that makes their breath super raunchy. The only things that I have found that help besides a proper diet are Greenies and Speak to Me treats... Good Luck :)

Here's what you can do to effectively get rid of dog bad breath Dog bad breath can keep you from being close to the dogs you love. But bad dog breath can also be a symptom of a more serious problem. It is estimated that 80 percent of dogs the age of three suffer from periodontal disease — a serious deterioration of the gums and supporting bones of the teeth. Left unchecked, the resulting bacteria can enter the dog's bloodstream, causing infection or damage to vital organs such as the kidneys, lungs, heart or liver. That’s why dog bad breath has been the called the "Silent Killer of Pets." Proper pet oral health may extend the life of your dog by two to five years.
