have your dog's teeth cleaned. He may have plaque building up on his teeth. Please talk to your vet.

Your dog's teeth need cleaning. There are toothbrushes and toothpaste for dogs, more serious cleaning will require a trip to the vet. You can also try giving him raw meaty bones to chew on as the chewing action will help clean his teeth. If he's eating a moist food or dry kibble that is puffed up rather than hard this can contribute to dirty teeth.

Your dog may need to have his teeth cleaned by the vet. If they have very bad breath, it can sometimes be a sign of infection. If he has an infection and he keeps swallowing it down, it can cause major problems for his health. Your vet can let you know if his teeth need to be done or not.

Clean teeth will help. It sounds like he's eating soft food. Does he have a lot of gunky looking plaque on his teeth? Give him something to chew on.

Try the teeth cleaning and if that doesn't work try changing his food or have him checked for parasites. He may need to be de-wormed.

Give him chews which help with breath, like Denta-Rask. Also go to vet, make sure he dosen't have tartar & you can also brush his teeth!
