Dogs like to lick people. Of course, this is also a sign that the dog likes you, but the moment it opens its mouth, it feels like the whole person is suffocating. Bad breath in dogs is a very common phenomenon. Why is this?
Food scraps
After a dog eats, food residue will inevitably be left in his mouth. These residues will breed a large number of bacteria, causing bad breath.
Healthy dogs can choose slightly harder dog food to prevent food from sticking to their teeth and affecting the dog's oral health.
Gastrointestinal problems
Dogs’ gastrointestinal digestion and absorption capacity is poor. What they eat is not digested and produces gas, which comes out of the mouth.
Bad breath in dogs is not just a problem with the mouth, but is also closely related to the stomach. Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, etc., can all cause bad breath in dogs.
