Breath
Never noticed before but tonight Oz seems to have a bit of a smelly breath . Nothing has changed at all in his diet, is it normal? Is there anything I can give him to be a bit sweetener or could it be something else? I've looked in his mouth and cant see anything odd with his teeth?

Re: Breath
You can get teeth brushes, basically like we do ours but I have a feeling it is something we should have got them used to at a younger age as I think Moo would hate it, but its really something we should all be doing x

Re: Breath
How about a bone? Darcy's teeth are pearly white. But it could always be his belly is off? Call the vet if your worrie Hun. X

I used to do their teeth with doggy toothpaste and my finger as they'd try to eat the toothbrush. A good knaw on a bone does the trick now. DO you get Dentistix for breath?

Re: Breath
Chewing on a raw bone is a great natural toothbrush Adding a little apple cidar vinegar to water can help with smelly breath.

Re: Breath
We were told about brushing their teeth at puppy class...you use a toothbrush and doggy toothpaste which is normally flavoured like chicken or something?
It seemed like a bit of a waste of time as the pups just ended up with toothpaste all over their faces! Bones would do the same and I am sure they would enjoy them a lot more and would be a lot better for them than the toothpaste

Re: Breath
Doggy breath could also be caused by an intestinal problem and not just from a bad/dirty tooth, best to let the vet have a look a to make sure there is nothing else going on there.
