Your dog’s breath shouldn’t smell like spring, but it shouldn’t have a repulsive odor either. If your dog starts to smell out of his mouth, it’s usually caused by leftover food. This increases the risk of plaque and can lead to tooth decay. You can do a lot about it yourself by brushing his teeth or by giving the dog other food. Give the dog crunchy snacks as a snack instead of sticky snacks.

Causes

A dog always has a certain smell from its mouth, but normally this is not repulsive. Sometimes the dog does not smell at all from its mouth. If this does happen, it could be that food particles have remained behind his teeth.breath

Terminal Illnesses in Dogs

The Heartbreaking Reality of Common Terminal Illnesses in Dogs

The longer this remains, the stronger and more unpleasant this smell becomes. In addition, bad breath can also be caused by stomach problems, tooth decay, or a build-up of plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance that sticks to teeth and is full of bacteria. As an owner, you can do a lot to keep the dog’s breath fresh.

Brushing often

The best way to get rid of bad-smelling breath is to brush your teeth. If your dog is not used to this, you can first rub some meat stock on the outside of the teeth with your fingertip. If the dog doesn’t mind, you can immediately move on to brushing the teeth.

Use a special toothbrush especially for dogs for this. In the beginning, the gums may start to bleed. This is because the gums still have to get used to the toothbrush.breath

Use toothpaste

It is best to use a special toothpaste specially developed for dogs. This will make the breath nice and fresh. Do not use toothpaste specifically for humans, as it contains chemicals that are very unhealthy for the dog. You cannot teach a dog to spit out the toothpaste again and he will swallow it.

Quick solution

If you don’t have time to brush your teeth, wipe the outside of your teeth with a cotton washcloth. Most plaque accumulates on the outside of the teeth, about 85 percent. So with a few quick swipes along with the teeth, you can make a big difference.

Flossing playfully

Dogs like to chew, and there are toys that help keep their teeth clean. There are also play ropes available that are specially made for this purpose. The threads of the rope floss the teeth every time your dog plays with it.

Make sure that the frayed end is not tangled and do not play tug-of-war with the rope. Because it’s made of wires, a wire could get around a tooth, and you could pull it out.

Give healthy snacks

Dogs are always hungry for a snack. Crunchy snacks act like little brushes and clean the teeth. This also keeps the breath fresh. Carrots are particularly good for keeping teeth clean and fresh, as are apples and hard, crunchy dog ​​biscuits.

Give special food

There are foods available that are specially designed to remove plaque and clean the dog’s teeth while he eats. It is dry food with a fibrous structure and it crumbles less quickly than regular kibble. The dog has to bite into the chunks so that the teeth are cleaned.

Avoid sticky snacks

Avoid giving the dog snacks that stick to his teeth, such as peanut butter or liver treats. It can even stick to the teeth for hours, causing plaque to build up quickly.breath

puppy bad breath

When a puppy approaches you enthusiastically, you’ll probably smell a whiff of his breath. It has a specific sweet and sour smell and all puppies have this. This smell has to do with the bacterial content in the mouth.

When a puppy is changing teeth, the gums bleed a little, creating a perfect environment for bacteria. The enormous amount of bacteria that arise is responsible for the sweet smell. This will pass as the puppy gets older.
