I bought a 7 month old toy rat terrier and her breath REEKED bad. I tried everything, but finally after some brushing, greenies, and some adies mints (made for dogs) her breath smells much much better.

Depends on what it smells like. Dogs naturally have bad smelling breath from the food they eat but if it's not smelling like food, then likely it is something in the teeth or gums. He could have gotten an infection since being at the vet. Check the gums and make sure nothing is inflammed or swollen. If you're sure it's not the teeth, get him some of the freshen up bones and treats.

I hate to say it but dogs breath definetly doesn't smell like roses.If you brush his teeth and have just had him at the vet chances are your dog is a dog.But just in case make sure his teeth dont need scaling.Check for inflamed gums too

did you take him to the vet specifically for his teeth? look at your pets back molars, pull his lips back gently, chances are those far back molars are covered in a greenish/brown tartar, get your pets teeth cleaned annually by the vet, they will also pull any teeth that are absessed or infected. brushing the teeth twice a month isnt going to do much, my vet told me in order to make a difference you need to do it once a day like humans. make sure you are feeding him a good food, that doesnt have corn in the first couple ingredients, nutro, solid gold, organix are good.

You might need to still consider having your dogs teeth cleaned. Then maybe try some greenies or Dentabones after.

bad breath in a dog usually stems from the buildup in their gum areas....try to keep that area clean either by brushing or special types of dog treats
bad breath can also be caused by a bad tooth

He could be having problems with some internal problems. Ask you vet if it could be kidney problems?

Well, if your dog's breath stinks try buying him (or her) dog breath mints! (they sell them at Wal-Mart: store may vary)
