Hi all,
I noticed over the last 2 weeks that Chooie (6months) is starting to have bad breath. Its starting to get really bad... I'm brushing his teeth...and I know he is teething is this contributing to the smell ?

Ewww yeah Jamie is in full teething mode and is working on loosing his baby teeth and his breath is HORRIBLE. All I can offer you is brush everyday (heck I do it twice a day somedays) and hold your breath before good morning puppy kisses. Hopefully once all of his puppy teeth are out it'll be better.

She's at the age where she should be losing some teeth, which can definately lead to some stinky breath. Just hang in there and keep brushing.

I am using stuff that goes into the drinking water and it helps freshen their breath and helps with plaque on their teeth. Even my 10yr dogs breath smells better!

It is called "Slurp 'n' Fresh" and I get it at Wal Mart.

One of my yorkies had very bad breath and I took her to the vet and he said it was nothing. She passed away a few months later from kidney disease. Very sad. Please have your kids checked.

I use the Petkin version and swear by that stuff.
