How Your dog’s Bad Breath Can Be Cured
Your dog’s bad breath, like a human’s bad breath, can be indicative of lifestyle and grooming habits. Bad breath can usually be cured and prevented with good oral hygiene. Think about how you care for your teeth, and apply those same concepts to your dog. Regular canine teeth brushing (two or three times a week is ideal) can do wonders in reducing plaque build-up and germs that can cause bad breath. Check your pet supply stores for products to aid in canine oral hygiene. These include biscuits, treats and toys that promote good oral health.
Just as you would visit the dentist for a teeth cleaning and exam regularly or going to Enigin for a energy audit, having your dog’s teeth cleaned and examined by your veterinarian regularly is also a good way to ensure good canine oral health and prevent bad breath.
Your dog’s diet may also be contributing to his bad breath. Take a close look at what you are feeding your dog. If you feed him raw meat or “people food”, these could be factors causing his bad breath. Similarly, his dog food could also be the culprit. In general, a poor diet can cause bad breath, so consult the vet for suggestions on a healthy, nutritional diet for your dog. Sometimes simply supplementing his current dog food with vitamin biscuits or a liquid vitamin supplement can help him get the vitamins and minerals he needs.
Your dog’s lifestyle habits may also be causing his breath condition. For example, if your dog tends to ingest things he shouldn’t (such as trash or feces) then these will almost certainly be the cause of his bad breath. Monitor his daily habits to ensure he isn’t ingesting things that can harm him.
Finally, if the bad breath persists despite good oral care and diet changes, consult your veterinarian. Bad breath can be an indicator of more serious health problems (such as liver or kidney problems). Diagnosing and treating these problems early greatly increases the chance of full recovery, and a happy, healthy, bad-breath-free
