What is the best method of dealing with bad breath in dogs.?

that's so cute! i've had the same problem with my dog, she puts her head on my pillow so our noses are almost touching, very cute but dogs breath in your face is a bit gross at 3am!

brushing her teeth is a stupid human idea though. do dogs in the wild brush their teeth with a brush? no, so why should trained dogs!

the way dogs in the wild brush their teeth is by chewing on bones. chewing on a bone gets rid of tar tar build up and basically does for a dog what a tooth brush does for us. plus they love the taste and it's great for their diet. you just go to your local butcher or super market and buy some, they're really cheap too.

this will make your dogs breath not smell gross, but it will still smell a bit meaty like a bone. so if you hate the meat smell too give her raw hide bones! they're a bit more expensive than real bones, they're basically the pressed skin of pigs, so they're still good for dogs but her breath won't really smell at all.

personally i use both, my dog has a real bone outside that she eats and burries and digs up and keeps her entertained all day, then at night when she's inside she has her raw hide bone or pigs ear to chew on. These are seriously so much better than brushing your dogs teeth with a tooth brush, it keeps them entertained, mentally stimulates them, they're an excellent treat and your dog will love them.

Get her some dental chews. Just make sure that you portion what you give her as part of her daily food/treat intake. Rawhide bones are also good for keeping their teeth clean, but they are sometimes controversial because the process of making rawhide bones may allow for tiny amounts of harsh chemicals to be present, and they might be a choking hazard for some dogs. Most vets though, say that they're fine as long as you supervise them if you're concerned their chewing habits may result in choking on small pieces. My dogs have never had bad breath, and I think it's because they adore rawhides and tugging on ropes. Every time I take them to their vet, she always comments on how beautiful their teeth are.

They have dog treats that are designed to deal with this. Check out your local pet store. Or you can go the route of brushing her teeth every day. Is the dog food canned? Or dry? Dry dog food is usually better because it cleans teeth while they eat.

You can either start brushing her teeth, or they do sell dog mints now that should help. I was in a obedience class with a dog that had eaten poo before coming, and the mints really did help a lot.

Brush her teeth.

You can get dog toothpaste with a regular brush & a fingertip brush for less than $5 at most walmarts. Or you can probably buy it from your vet.

You can use a baby toothbrush ir the regular size is too big, but...

NEVER USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE!!!!

brush her teeth!! go to a pet supply store & make sure you get dog toothpaste & brush. You can also find breath friendly treats, bones, etc..

well if you go to pet smart they have this thing and its like a mint for dogs and they are usually in the treat section
