Cleaning your dog’s teeth is an important part of providing for your dog’s overall health and wellness. If your dog has bad breath then try cleaning his teeth once or twice a week. You may also want to ask your vet about adding a dental powder to your dog’s food to help combat bad breath and keep teeth and gums cleaner and healthier. If your dog’s bad breath is severe and doesn’t go away then take him to the vet. There is a medical condition called Halitosis which refers to bad breath. This can often be a sign of gingivitis or other gum related illnesses. Your dog may need to have his teeth professionally checked and cleaned by your vet which often requires sedation. This is usually done once or twice a year. For dogs that don’t need a professional cleaning you can simply use a piece of gauze to wipe the teeth routinely to help with cleanliness. Ask your vet Butler County for more tips. Schedule an appointment today!
