Halitosis (bad breath)
My new
puppy has bad breath what can I do about it someone told that I could
administer dentamint is that ok?
Bad breath
can originate from dental problems from the stomach, or from internal
dissease. A veterinarian can determine if your pet has any dental or
internal problems. Gingivitis and tooth decay can create very foul
odors, and should be treated to avoid loosing teeth and unnecessary
discomfort for your pet. Internal problems, such as diabetes, liver
disease, kidney failure, esophageal cancer and many others create odors
that eminate from the mouth. Your veterinarian may need to run blood
test or other procedures to determine the exact cause of the problem.
If your veterinarian finds no problems, then an internal breath
freshener is a good idea. Also consider changing brands of dog food.
