Get rid of your dog’s bad breath
4 important tips to help get rid of your dog’s bad breath
Dog breath can be one of the most nauseating smells to most people. Everyone loves to run up and pet a dog when they see it walking with its owner but it is a huge turn off if your dog’s breath smells like week old trash!
If your dog has a problem that is causing his breath to wreak of bad odor, then the chances are that the root cause is plaque. With easy care you can turn those dog teeth around to brand new. Below are some tips:
1. Start off by getting into a routine of brushing your dog’s teeth about twice per day, just like you probably do for your own teeth. Remember, a dog’s teeth will develop plaque just like our own do and if you have not brushed your dog’s teeth in a long time then you can probably imagine what it would be like for your mouth if you went the same amount of time without brushing.
2. Brush your dog’s teeth from the time they are a puppy. Attempting to brush a full grown adult dog’s teeth for the first time will probably prove to be disastrous because it’s quite an odd experience having something jammed up in their mouths. So, if you do have a puppy or are planning on getting one then it would behoove of you start the teeth-brushing ritual early so that when the dog becomes an adult it will be conditioned to the experience of having its teeth brushed.
3. Try feeding your dog carrots as an afternoon snack. Be sure that they remain raw when you feed your dog because they act as a gentle ‘tooth scraper’ which helps to rub away the plaque.
4. Trade in the canned food for hard food. I realize that your dog probably loves the soft texture and the juicy flavor of his favorite canned food but your dog’s dental health will improve with hard foods, should you make the switch. A major benefit to switching to dry food is that the odor of the dog’s mouth clears up. This happens because the hard dry dog food acts as a ’scraper’ to the plaque.
