How to Treat Dog Bad Breath

1 How to Treat Dog Bad Breath

If a dog has bad breath, how should we treat it?

1. Choose dry, quality kibble

Daily eating habits greatly affect whether a dog has bad breath.

Dry kibble is better for teeth than wet; wet food easily forms dirt on teeth, and if not cleaned, over time the dog gets bad breath;

feeding dry kibble also scrapes previously accumulated tooth dirt. Also choose quality natural kibble, whose raw materials are better, better for teeth than poor kibble.

2. Brush more

If you want the dog’s bad breath less severe, build a habit of frequent brushing. After the dog eats meat, brush teeth.

Maybe at first the dog won’t cooperate, but over time it forms the habit and cooperates.

3. Fix the dog’s feeding time

To have good gut and teeth, fix feeding time, e.g. 2 or 3 times daily, best also fix the time, so bacteria in the mouth are active only those times.

But many owners habitually put a day’s kibble in the bowl, so the dog eats anytime, bacteria stay active, naturally worse breath.

4. Regular check and cleaning

Must give the dog’s teeth regular check and cleaning care; generally 1-2 cleanings per year, deep-clean tooth dirt.

Normally give the dog more special breath-freshening gum, also helps reduce bad breath and odor.

Dog bad breath is normal, since dogs eat varied things.

But if bad breath stays severe and untreated, it’s annoying, severe cases cause other body problems; vets advise owners must give the dog regular treatment.
