Bad breath

[Hilary Crosswell]

Can anyone suggest something to stop my dogs having bad breath? I do not want to change their food as they are doing very well on it, they have raw tripe and Burns complete. I did try garlic granules but that smelt the whole house out!

Well, you could try brushing their teeth or using chewing bars. I started to use the bars a while ago and it hepls a lot both with the breath and the cleaning of the teeth. The brushing alone won't help reducing the bad breath, just prevent it to increase... I personally combine both and it works perfectly, but i only give them dry dog food.

Thank you I will try both.

I use something that I add to my dog's water bowl - it is suposed to help with tartar and bad breath, and it does help. I purchased it on the Drs. Foster and Smith website, but have also seen it at pet stores. You may also consider getting your dog's teeth cleaned at the vet. I also use Greenies.
