Quick Tips on How to Keep Your Dog's Breath Smelling Fresh
Here are some quick tips on how to keep your dog's breath smelling fresh:
-
Brush your dog's teeth regularly: Just like humans, dogs need to have their teeth brushed to prevent plaque and tartar build-up. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for dogs, and try to brush at least once a day.
-
Give your dog dental treats: Dental treats and chew toys can help to keep your dog's teeth clean and their breath fresh. Look for treats that are specifically designed to promote dental health.
-
Use a plaque spray specifically designed for dogs: There are mouthwashes/plaque sprays available for dogs that can help freshen their breath and kill bacteria in their mouths. Follow the instructions on the bottle carefully, and never use a human mouthwash on your dog.
-
Avoid feeding your dog table scraps: Table scraps can contribute to bad breath and dental problems in dogs. Stick to a high-quality dog food to keep your dog's mouth healthy.
-
Keep your dog hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help to flush away bacteria and food particles that can cause bad breath. Make sure your dog always has access to fresh, clean water.
-
Consult your veterinarian: If your dog's bad breath persists despite your best efforts, it may be a sign of a more serious dental issue. Consult your veterinarian to determine the cause and find the appropriate treatment.
Even though these tips help you in making sure that you are able to maintain the overall dental hygiene for your dog, but in case of any complaints please visit a doctor.
Till then, lots of woofs and wags for you!
