Dogs with bad breath..

Hey all, how’s everyone doing? Busy busy I suppose?
Same here, work has been very hectic and the usual, but anyway,

so I wanted to write about dogs having bad breath!
I am sure 98% of us have this same problem..

I recently, VERY RECENTLY found out my Bambi has bad breath.
I thought it was from the food I feed him, but no. Treats? Somewhat, it causes plaque and stuff, but no. So you are probably wondering why dogs have bad breath right?  Well it’s caused by bacterias and it can be very harmful to your dog.

1. Make sure your dogs teeth are brushed. Not any over the counter dog toothpaste works. Make sure you read the ingredients and ask your vet. (All vets do not know everything, but it doesn’t hurt to check with them on their opinion/suggestions.)

2. Does your dog eat poo? If they eat their own poo, of course they are going to have bad breath.. I’m trying to eliminate all the causes of your dogs bad breath before stating facts.

3. Does your dog eat your scrap foods? Do you feed them your food? If yes, that’s a cause as well.

4. Is your dog at an older age? Rotting teeth? If yes, this may be a cause of his/her bad breath.

Now, if none of the above relates to you, please take your dog to the vet and check them in.
It is a major problem if your dog does not get treated. They might have a bacteria in them that is causing their bad breath and in time the bacterias will form into their blood stream and possibley can cause death.

We all do not like bad smelling odors, you may want to try giving them lots of greenies.
There are dental bones you may want to try to give them before taking them to the vet to clean their teeth.

These worked for Bambi for a awhile, but as of now, he officially has bad breath and he has an appointment to go in for a check up. I’m worried that he might have the bacteria called “Halitosis”.

For more information on Halitosis, you may read the link I have attached below.

See you all back soon! =D
