Instructions
Step 1
It is possible that there is nothing serious behind the bad breath. After all, what seems disgusting to a person can be a captivating aroma for an animal. Keep an eye on your pet to make sure it is not lugging waste out of the bin or picking up spoiled meat and herring heads outside. If this is the problem of an unpleasant smell, then it can be easily solved - take the dog outside in a muzzle and isolate the trash can.
Step 2
Examine your pet's mouth carefully. Is there plaque, tartar on the teeth, is the mucous membrane inflamed? If you still have problems with your teeth, get a special toothpaste for dogs. You can also buy a dog's toothbrush or use a children's toothbrush. It is also convenient to brush your dog's teeth with cotton pads, applying toothpaste to them. Include dried black bread crumbs and special dog bones in your dog's diet to help brush teeth.
Step 3
If you haven't found a problem in the oral cavity either, think about your pet's diet. Did you start feeding him something new, and then the smell from the mouth appeared? The dog may have an individual intolerance to even fresh and high-quality food. Include greens in the dog's diet - parsley, alfalfa. Chop it finely and add to the animal's usual food. Chlorophyll in greens not only improves digestion, but also freshens breath.
Step 4
If your puppy has bad breath, see if your pet's teeth have begun to change. During this time, dogs may also have profuse salivation and fever. Rinse your puppy's mouth with a mild baking soda solution to get rid of the odor that bothers you.
Step 5
If brushing your teeth and diet have not helped your pet get rid of the odor, be sure to show it to your veterinarian to rule out the possibility of a more serious illness.
