Stinky Breath!

Dunny

The dogs breath is stinking! Anyone recommend a solution?

andreac

What do you feed it?

Dunny

Puppy pellets I get from the pet shop. Shes been on it a while but only noticed her breath bad today.

andreac

Yeah but what brand. That can have a huge affect on their breath, depending on the quality of the food.

Dunny

Royal Canin

Do you give any treats as well? A dogs breath doesnt smell great anyway, you sure its not just dogs breath? Is there anything stuck in its teeth or gums that could be causing a bad smell?

Dunny

Nothing that I can see andrea. She gets 2 bonios a day

andreac

Ah right ok, not sure then what could be causing it.

Papillon!

might be something to do with the gums..in that case I'd go vet to get it checked out.

As a test for a couple of days you could try some chicken and rice. I notice when I feed my two on a home made diet theyre full of beans and poos and breath are good.

If you're still concerned then as I said, I think best to get it checked out for your own peace of mind

Worked a treat. Might take her to the vet tho just incase.

Thanks guys

Does she have very red gums around where they meet the teeth? Might be no harm to get the vet to have a look at her?

Dunny

Her gums are fine. She is due to lose her baby teeth, would it have anything to do with that?

Will get her into the vet asap
