Have you had their teeth cleaned? This is the number one cause of bad breath. The second is diet.

damn, I read it as "horrible death" and cringed. I saw one of my dogs die in an accident and I can't get rid of that image. I would take it's gawd afull breath back any day!

I know those green bone chews don't work....lol I tried that.

Good teeth cleaning should take care of it. Use to have a yorkie and I had to clean his teeth every month to keep the smell down. Vets charge a lot to do a "professional clean." You can do a google search and find out how to do it yourself.

All I did was change the food.
Also you can brush there teeth.

Couple of Ideas!!!!

Get a Finger Brush & some beef flavored paste

Take them to the Vet and they will put him/her under and make them brand new in that mouth of theirs I did that will my Chow Chow and she had wonderful breath.

Any dog that eats old poop, milkbone bisquits, or rawhides has bad breath usually.

Thats what i was going to say. Maybe a rotten tooth, or sometimes their gums and lips hold bacteria that can smell bad. they make wipes to clean their jowels(spelling) and mucous membranes

I scrub my dog's teeth with a toothbrush and bakingsoda tooth paste. I then take some clean gauze and soak in Hydrogen Peroxide and wipe along his gums. It really helps

A note of caution: If you have a breed with strong jaws (like a pitbull), he can accidentally chomp your finger while squirming away from you. They generate so much jaw pressure, even accidentally, that they can really injure you if they are trying to get away.

Most vets give them some sort of sedative or anesthesia... I personally don't like the risks involved in that. I have had success with a low dose of valium, which leaves him calm, coherent, and conscious-- but relaxed while I clean his teeth.

When any danger coming soon then its people says something bad happen may be.
So dog is the animal which could get know from previously. so its breath gets high.

How nice man.

Def Teeth cleaning but could be various reasons. My childhood dog was old and his breath was pure misery but we cleaned his teeth and it didn't help much so got his labs drawn and he was diagnosed with cancer and our vet said this was the reason of the breath. Their are many measures you can take get his blood drawn and check it out. GLuck

I use a product my vet recommended called breathalyser. You can find it online a lot cheaper than at the vet though. Really helps with my two bull terriers breath. It's gets old mixing it with their water, but it's worth it in my opinion.

My 11 year old husky mix has had bad breath almost her entire life. It doesn't matter what we do, it still smells like hot trash. Even after having her teeth cleaned, it smelled bad within a few days. She is currently on the BARF diet (if you love your dog then look it up) and has been for over a year (and it has saved her life) but even that didn't get rid of her bad breath.

She is the exception to the rule but sometimes dogs just have some nasty breath.

there is a certain type of bone toy that they have for dogs that actually help clean there teeth why they are chewing on the thing, usually can be found at pet smart or any pet store.

Its could be from coprophagia or diet,kibble isnt the natural food for dogs,it lays inside on their teeth and causes dental problems.Plus the junk they make commercial pet food from,usually the majority being corn and diseased by products.Try switching to a good frozen raw diet,and give your dog meaty bones a couple times a week.Their digestive tract isnt like ours ,they are meant to eat raw food.It'll add years to its life and prevent most health issues

If the dog is still a puppy then don`t sweat it ! My dog had the same problem when he was a puppy and I started to worry too. Took him to the vet a found out it was because of teething. Yep, teething . Later when his new teeth settled in he was find. It took about six months but when he finally got his choppers all in, the bad breath stopped and he`s fine now. Don`t panic and pay a Vet for a visit. Just wait it out a few more months and you`ll both be lapping tongues together.
P.S. It`s not a bad idea to brush his teeth either.
