Prevent Dog Bad Breath: Tip
We have a very sweet, very gentle natured dog that is quite the lady. However, her breath can get a bit overpowering 
. Here are some tips to keep the bad breath blues at bay:
- If your dog has the bad breath blues, try adding fresh parsley to his food each day.
- Your dog needs his teeth brushed too, please do this regularly with toothpaste made for dogs. This will help prevent bad breath as well. Here are some tips: How To Brush A Dog’s Teeth.
- Give your dog chew toys as well as crunchy treats–helps fight tartar buildup.
- Try giving your dog a big beefy bone to chew on once a month, gives a good dental workover when he’s chewing on it and that helps fight bad breath.
If your dog has unusually bad breath that’s almost rancid smelling, he may have a health problem. Please check with your vet.

I give my dog a pig ear as a nightly treat. Her vet says she’s amazed at how white her teeth are. No doggy breath either..
Hey Art you might want to try some other treat. Dogs should not eat any type of pork, especially boxers.
Hey, Jen… why no pork? I’d rather pork than rawhide…
I also have learned that canned food isn’t a good idea, because at least the dry can sort of scrape at the teeth! One of my dogs actually “had” to eat Science Diet’s T/D, and that really helped! Uh, t/d, you have to get at a veterinarian’s place.
I get frustrated learning about different toys/treats. sometimes! Rawhide is’nt supposed to be good because when a dog swallows it it can swell and cause problems, bone, hoofs & hard rawhide can break the teeth, and pig’s ears are supposed to be high in sodium/salt, and if a dog has heart problems or could develop it, its not a good thing, there seems to be something wrong with everything, and even the experts don’t always agree!
I think it is a matter of knowing your dog and watching carefully, especially as they age, to decide on toys/treats. Hey, even true of ourselves and non-K9 family members!
