February 9th, 2011 at 2:13 pmJust like in humans, halitosis can be a sign of dental disease or some other health problem, so the very first step is to take your pooch to the vet. Chances are pretty good your dog is going to need to have his teeth cleaned. There are tooth brushes specifically designed for dogs on the market, and these are great for reducing tartar build up and plaque in dogs. There are highly palatable toothpastes on the market as well that will help build fido’s tolerance to having his teeth brushed. But definitely a trip to the doggy doc. Gum disease can seriously shorten your pup’s life span.

February 9th, 2011 at 2:13 pmVets recommend that you get a dog tooth paste and brush their teeth every day. You can get it at the pet store. Every dog should also get a yearly teeth cleaning from the vet.

February 9th, 2011 at 2:13 pmMy dog likes peppermints! Only in moderation…the sugar, you know. But there are dog breath mints to be had at Petco and/or Petsmart.
Not nearly as nice and sweet smelling as the peppermints, though!

They will also check to see if there may be something else causing this funk, such as an abscessed tooth. Giving dog biscuits or a denta bone will also help with plaque. If your dog is old there is nothing you can do. They get funky mouths and you just have to deal with it.

February 9th, 2011 at 2:13 pmI have never brushed my dogs teeth in the 12 years I’ve had him. His teeth are pearly white and his breath smells just fine – Actually its quite enjoyable lol – A lot of raw hide chews.
Did dogs brush their teeth when they lived in the wild? Hmmm.
