Take your dog to the veterinarian for a check-up -- often, bad breath can be cured with a simple dental (scrape the plaque off his teeth, inspect his gums for possible gingivitis, and the vet can even use doggy toothpaste).

Why does your dogs breath stink?

Dogs with bad breath can either have bad teeth or stomach problems. It's best you see the vets and let them examine your dog's teeth to see if there is any work to be done on them. Dogs teeth are just like humans and can decay. Also, be sure you feed your dog some hard food with the soft, and there is IAMS low-fat bones (different sizes for different sized of dogs) to help with bad breath. Dogs should have their one big meal broken down into two small meals (once in the morning and then around 5 PM or when you have your dinner.) This helps the dog from having digestive problems and will also help if a dog should vomit up acid. Be sure there is lots of fresh water as well.AnswerThere are various underlying causes of halitosis or bad breath in dogs. When you sense that your dog's breath is unnaturally offensive, it might be because of gingivitis, periodontitis, or tartar buildup. Improper digestion can also be one of the causes; in this case it is not actually the dog's mouth that smells but partially digested food. Finding a cure or solution for your dog's bad breath depends entirely on its underlying causes. For best results, it is best to consult your vet first.Of course, brushing your dog's teeth won't hurt either. There are toothbrushes made especially for our canine friends and they are readily available online.AnswerBad breath is caused by not brushing your dogs teeth.

Is mint okay for dogs?

This is probably not a good idea. Your dog's breath spray is formulated to address the specific causes of bad breath in dogs and whatever mint you add may not work well with the ingredients already in the breath spray. Also, depending upon the mint product itself, this may be toxic to dogs, even if it is safe for humans. If your dog truly has rotten breath and not just normal-dog breath, I would suggest a visit to the veterinarian for an oral exam. There are several known causes of rotten breath smells, including abscessed or infected teeth, that can be fixed by your veterinarian.


How do you get rid of a dog's zombie breath?

A healthy dog does not have foul-smelling breath. There is a good chance that your pet has at least one rotten tooth or some other health problem, so a trip to the vet may be in order. You might also check the contents of the food you're feeding your dog; since canines can't digest corn, soybeans or wheat, these ingredients might be the source of your dog's bad breath.


What would cause disgustingly bad breath in your dog?

Bad breath can be caused by a heavy worm load or bad teeth. More often the worm load than the bad teeth. Worm with Pyrantal pamolate according to dog weight and label dosage then worm again in 10 days and again in another 10 days should clear up the breath problem. If it doesn't then you need to take dog to the vet and have his teeth cleaned and inspected.The poor dear needs his/her teeth cleaned. This can be done by your vet.Dogs and humans have bad breath because of the bacteria that live on the top of the tongue. The tongue is the problem, not the teeth. You can see the bacteria by looking for some white stuff on the top of the tongue. That is the bacteria and this must be removed if you are going to get rid of bad breath. The best tongue cleaner is OraBrush. Here is the website: http://www.orabrush.com
