do you know what to do about a dogs bad breath  

Brush the dog's teeth.

My mom has a special toothbrush that gets the bottom, front, and back of the teeth and with a small dollop of toothpaste (I think there's a canine variety, I don't recall if she uses it anymore) you can brush your dog's teeth. It helps to get your dog in your lap and roll him/her on his/her back to keep him/her from bolting. My mom was a dental assistant so she scales their teeth (uses those hooked tools to clean the tartar) but that's just for health, not for bad breath.

I've heard that dogs will often have bad breath if they are eating a lot of 'human' food - processed, which they don't have to chew much. Giving your dog a lot of bones and fresh raw meat will be better for him. Human food isn't good for a dog's digestion.

i know your problem, i found these doggie mints at the local pet store that are shaped like little bones and i give them to my dog every once in a while to freshen her breath, it can get pretty bad LOL

Usually bad breath in dogs is because people are feeding them that slosh in tins. Even feeding them hard dried food is not the best for a complete diet. They tell you it's good for the teeth but it's not, because it just turns into wet pap when it's being eaten. I feed mine fresh meat, being raw chicken necks with some good brand dried food, and every week they have one good big raw meaty bone for their teeth. Never any cooked bones. My vet remarked how good their teeth were even though one of them is quite old. Sorry to say if the problem has gone too far, it's a case for the vet dentist.

Based on my personal experience, I guess dogs have bad breaths due to the food that they are eating. Maybe you can try to let you dog have a daily habit of brushing his teeth and cleaning his mouth regularly would eliminate bad breath. :-)

I think you can buy chewy stick type things to help remove the plaque from their teeth to keep them healthy and eliminate bad breath, i also know that a friend of mine used to brush her dog's teeth, i've never had dogs myself though so i don't know if this is the normal thing to do, it worked though!! xxx

Bad breath in dogs is usually related to the plaque that forms on their teeth, related to what they are eating. Some dogs never have bad breath because of their genetics. Most little dogs, because most people feed them soft foods, eventually end up with bad breath. You can brush their teeth once they are used to it. Never use human tooth paste. It will make them sick. Or just use the brush. There is a product that we use that is available at Petsmart that you put in their water. We have 4 little ones, and since we have been using it, it has made a huge difference. Two capfuls or so in about a twenty ounce bowl. They all drink from it. I can't think of the name of it and don't have the ability this moment to get it, but it is at least at Petsmart and probably other pet stores.

the causes of that are bad teeth or the food intake.

i had dog who is like that and that is the reason i told my husband to return her to veterinarian since it is too expenses to take care animals here in US and i dont like him to be in trouble with it.

we tried giving her drops and even brushing her teeth but nothing so i decided to return to her and i am glad the vet accepted her again.

The responses to your post were really en lighting. Sometimes my doggies too have bad breathe. You want to hug them them, and they breathe down your neck. It can be awful.

Bad breath in dogs is funny until you have one with bad breath! (LOL) I remember a commercial that started with "Bad Breath in Dogs". It was for milk bone. Another contributor to bad breath is if they find their favorite goodie cat poop! I have had nothing but problems with one of my mini Dachshunds and his eating cat poop. His mate is also picking up the habit, and their breath is horrible from eating the stuff. They sleep at the head of my bed with me and it's gag city when they yawn!! I'm going to get some of the pet breath stuff payday so that I don't dream of sleeping in the garbage dump at night!! (LOL)

I have to take both of them into the vet for oral care. The male has a bad gum problem that I know is going to cost for me to get fixed...but he's worth it (even more when he gives up the cat poop habit!).
