Prevent Dog Bad Breath: Tip

Cute Puppy Pic - Tipnut.comWe 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..

  2. Jen says:

    Hey Art you might want to try some other treat. Dogs should not eat any type of pork, especially boxers.

  3. curious says:

    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!
