Causes of bad breath in dogs:

Halitosis is one of the symptoms of periodontal disease, and gingivitis is an early symptom of periodontal disease. In fact, early gingivitis has already begun to cause the problem of bad breath. However, in addition to periodontal disease, gingivitis and other oral problems, there are gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases or other systemic diseases that can also cause bad breath. But whatever the reason, the oral cavity has the biggest impact. Because even if the bad breath is caused by other causes other than the oral cavity, brushing your teeth or scraping the tongue coating every day will help reduce bad breath. On the contrary, bad breath caused by gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases and other reasons will also make bad breath stronger due to the relationship between tartar and periodontal disease. Therefore, the relationship between oral hygiene and bad breath is the closest and most direct.

Prevention and treatment of bad breath in dogs:

Understanding the real causes of bad breath in dogs, so as to prescribe the right medicine. If it is because of poor digestion, you can give the dog a digestive yeast (milk raw tablet), which can help the dog's gastrointestinal digestion, speed up the intestinal peristalsis and decompose the food that is not fully digested by lactic acid bacteria. For the problem of poor gastrointestinal digestion, it can be improved, and at the same time, green tea can be used (one bag of green tea bag is soaked in 500ml of water, soaked for 5-8 minutes and then discarded, and can be drunk at most twice a week) as a dog's Drinking water daily can also help improve bad breath.

One is the bad breath caused by the accumulation of tartar and dental bacteria when the deciduous teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, and the other is that the permanent teeth have grown. Qi, but because the parents did not regularly clean the dog's teeth caused by bad breath.

The former is the problem caused by the permanent molars and their anterior canines not falling out, because the molars are not falling off, and it is easy to leave residues when chewing dog food, causing the deciduous molars to decay, and the permanent molars. The molars have not been born yet (the deciduous teeth are not easy to fall out due to calcium supplementation for a few hours), at this time, in addition to regular oral cleaning, you can go to the supermarket to buy a human mouthwash and choose a light mint-flavored one.

For the former canine deciduous teeth, don't rush to extract them first, try playing more tug-of-war games with the dog, which will also speed up the time for him to lose the canine teeth, and the latter permanent teeth have been fixed, and parents must clean the dog for at least a week. For a tooth, of course, you can use the methods mentioned above. In addition, you can also use a special tooth cleaner for dogs (there are toothpaste and tooth cleaning spray). It is up to parents to decide on their own.

Smelly biscuits or small cowhide dog chews can be eaten by dogs by themselves, but when feeding dogs with cleaning teeth, parents should be asked to feed the dogs, and the dog's front teeth and left and right rear molars can be interchanged to bite. To the cleaning bone, so that this cleaning bone can make the best use of it, otherwise this cleaning bone may be bitten by the dog three or two in less than 5 minutes (bite less and swallow more), so this tooth cleaning bone is beautiful Its name is that the toothbone is actually just a dog treat.
