Bad Breath in Dogs

Infections in your pet's mouth can travel into their circulatory system, just like in humans, and set up infections in other organs of their bodies. That can cause serious whole-body problems. Having a gum infection can mean your pet is at higher risk for heart attacks, stroke, diabetic complications, respiratory problems, and many other life-threatening illnesses. It is no different from the threat chronic infections pose for us humans.

Nancy My 7 month old shih tzu has alot of tartar build up on her back teeth and very
bad breath. She also scratches alot. My vet says it could be a food alergy.
I have been buying "Wellness puppy food" It is a holistic food with no fillers
good chicken, vegetables & fruit with vits & minerals. There is no wheat or
soy in this food. My vet said try changing her food which I have. How long
will it take to notice a difference? Will her teeth improve?		 7/31/2008
Abby The phrase "dog breath" was coined for a reason, because majority of dogs have bad breath. It is interesting to learn that it can actually be prevented and it doesn't have to be the way it is. I've been using Dr. Katz Oral Solution for dogs. I recommend it to anyone who wants their canine best friend to have good smelling breath. 10/15/2007
