Likewise, brushing your dog's teeth regularly will maintain their dental hygiene and reduce unpleasant bad breath. So how should we prevent and treat dogs with bad breath?

Prevention and treatment of bad breath in dogs:

Understand the real cause of your dog’s bad breath so that you can prescribe the right treatment. If it is due to poor digestion, you can give your dog a kind of digestive yeast (lactobacilli tablets), which can help the dog's gastrointestinal digestion by accelerating intestinal peristalsis and lactic acid bacteria to decompose incompletely digested food. For problems caused by poor gastrointestinal digestion, you can use green tea (one green tea bag soaked in 500ml of water, soak for 5-8 minutes and then discard the tea bag, drink up to two times a week) as a dog Daily drinking water can also help improve bad breath.

Another problem is tartar cleaning. Dental problems can be divided into two types. One is bad breath caused by the accumulation of tartar and dental bacteria caused by the inability of deciduous teeth to fall out when the deciduous teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. The other is bad breath caused by the fact that the permanent teeth have grown in, but because parents do not regularly Give your dog teeth cleaning to cause bad breath.

The former is a problem caused by the permanent rear molars and the front canines that have not fallen out. Because the molars have not fallen out, it is easy to leave residue when chewing dog food, which can cause tooth decay in the deciduous molars, and the permanent molars have not yet been born (due to calcium supplementation, the deciduous teeth are therefore not easy to fall off), at this time, in addition to regular oral cleaning, you can go to the supermarket to buy a human mouthwash, choose a light mint flavor, dip it on a dog-specific toothbrush, and gently clean the dog's back molars and Brushing the front canine teeth removes tartar and sterilizes the bacteria at the same time, and prevents the permanent teeth from attracting seedlings in the fish pond! Tooth decay will continue.

In addition, you can buy cowhide bone dog chews or an imported Greeies teething stick (or a deodorant biscuit) for your dog to bite, which will help the dog's teeth change faster. As for the front canine teeth and deciduous teeth, there is no need to rush. Then remove it and try to play more tug-of-war games with the dog. This will also speed up the time it takes for the canine teeth to fall out. The latter’s permanent teeth have been fixed. Parents must clean the dog’s teeth at least once a week. Of course, you can use the front teeth. In the above method, you can also use dog-specific tooth cleaners (including toothpaste and tooth cleaning spray). It is up to the parents to decide on their own.

Another point to note is that when giving teeth cleaning bones to dogs, you should not just leave the teeth cleaning bones to the dog to bite. This is a misconception. If it is a deodorant biscuit or a small cowhide dog bites The glue can be chewed by the dog on its own, but when feeding the dental bone to the dog, parents should ask the parents to hold it and feed the dog, and let the dog's incisors and left and right rear molars bite the dental bone interchangeably, so that the dog can Only by cleaning the dental bone can you make the most of it, otherwise this dental bone cleaner may not have 5 points.The bell was bitten by the dog in two or three bites (bite less and swallow more). In this way, this tooth-cleaning bone is actually just a dog snack.
