How do you get rid of bad dog breath?

Question

my dog has the WORST BREATH EVER
please help.

Answer 1

I have seen it at pet stores....there chewable little treats that you can give your pet. Go to the pet store in your area, they will help you..

Answer 2

Take the dog to the vet. If you feed your dogs canned or wet type food, they can get tartar build up rapidly, EVEN WITH BRUSHING. Some dogs naturally build tartar up faster than other dogs. A really bad buildup can cause the gums to become infected, which can cause horrific breath. Also, there could be a tooth or teeth with decay under the gums called neck lesions. These can cause bad breath also. All the treats and Greenies will only mask a symptom. Take the dog to the vet and have his mouth checked and schedule a dental cleaning.

Answer 3

The dog probably needs to have a dental. At this point, if there is tartar build up on the rear teeth, brushing won't help. It won't hurt, but it won't help.Take him/her to the vet, they can clean your pets teeth, and then you need to try brushing 2-3 times weekly. That can prolong the bad breath from returning. Think of it this way...if you were a 2 year old dog, and didn't brush your teeth for 2 years, wouldn't your breath smell bad too?!?

Answer 4

If you don't brush your dogs teeth regularly this will happen. And if you do, your dog might have a tooth infection, that's what happened to my dog. They also sell dog bones to help with bad breath. Talk to your vet if you think it's an infection, they can pull the tooth and get rid of the problem, or just keep brushing those pearly whites. Dogs are just like us they need to keep their teeth clean and healthy. Hope this helped.

Answer 5

Go to a pet place they have good mints. There just like for humans but for dogs instead. Also try some dog biscuits. They help clean and whiten there teeth. Certain kinds that you can get also helps with bad breath. Good Luck.

Answer 6

Greenies, visits to the vet where she can get her teet brushed. U can also get that done at the groomer's. The essential thing is to get her greenies to chew on cause that helps the everyday thing.

The bad breath is a result of build up from bacteria, which is also the cause for tartar. What you want to do is go to a walmart or petco and get one of those plastic chew toys that have ridges that help loosen those food particles and bacteria. There are some that are flavored though they are plastic. Just give one to ur dog for daily chewing and that should help. My roommates dog had the same problem and it's improved.

Answer 7

In pet shops or in any store that has a animal section, there is cookies for dog's bad breath. When my dog has bad breath I give her that and it work. (Any kind)But what I think is best are the BREATH BUSTER done by PedigreeHope it helped you.

Lastly, I do brush his teeth almost daily. i use an infant toothbrush and special dog toothpaste that tastes like chicken.

It has all worked wonders! try it out!

Answer 9

1) yearly dental cleanings by your vet
2) weekly brushing (they have those finger brushes and beef flavored tooth paste that makes it easy)
3) Chew toys- there are some specifically made to clean dogs teeth
4) there are doggy breath mints, but a combination of the above really is the best way.

Answer 10

There are a few options, you can go to walmart and get some bones, that will reduce bad breath and are extra tastey for them. Or if you are up for a challenge; you can brush their teeth or take them to pet co's grooming service and have them do it, I recomend you start them younge or else most likley they will not allow you to do it.

Answer 11
