Oral cleaning & natural chews to combat dog bad breath

Always playing with your pup and noticing how it has dog bad breath? You don’t have to live with. There’s something you can do to ease the problem. For starters, you can bring your dog to the veterinarian to see if there’s an underlying dental problem that’s causing the doggie breath.

If your dog’s over three years old, chances are, your pet may be afflicted with periodontal disease. Without proper dental care, most dogs above three years in age start manifesting such dental disorders. Left untreated, periodontal disease will not only produce dog bad breath but also lead to continuing discomfort (emanating from the dog’s mouth, which can lead to refusal to eat and impaired health) plus a host of possible complications like infections and disease that can spread throughout the body.

When the veterinarian confirms the oral dental problem, a thorough cleaning may then be conducted. The veterinarian will also most likely recommend a natural pet food and a regular home dental care routine that includes regular brushing for your dog. The challenge lies in hand brushing a jumpy dog. Bringing your dog to a pet grooming center may be an alternative. Some natural products stores recommends protecting your beloved pet’s teeth from plaque, tartar and dog bad breath by giving edible dog chews. Choose quality brands that offer bacteria control and have natural breath freshening ingredients and are highly digestible.

There are flavors that dogs will instinctively love. That way, you lessen frequent visits to the veterinarian and dog grooming clinics.
