Bad breath usually ties to dental, dietary, digestive or disease issues. Poor oral care leads to tartar and plaque. Odd foods or gut problems also cause odor. Find the root cause to fix it.
I found an extra tooth on my dog’s right side — what does it mean and what should I do?
From the photo, the puppy's baby tooth has not fallen out while the adult tooth has come in — a 'double row of teeth.' If baby teeth remain after 6 months, have them extracted at a vet. During teething, provide extra calcium; otherwise a calcium deficit easily causes double rows, affecting appetite or causing bad breath and tartar.

I shine my phone flashlight at my hamster when it bites the cage at night—about 30 times, 5 min each. Is that harmful?

Why does my dog love chewing shoes?

A found dog; I wonder its age
From the photo, tooth whiteness and tartar suggest about 1-2 years. Tooth-based age is only a reference, as adult teeth also depend on diet and cleaning and get less accurate after 2-3 years. Also judge by facial expression, gait, coat shine, and senior hair.
