| Piper's groomer brushes her teeth which helps somewhat...I also use a dental spray from Nylabone called Advanced Oral Care Dental Spray (with denta-C) which Piper pretty much hates. However, since I only use it when we're going out or when company's-a-comin' she bounces up readily as I shake bottle (I don't fake her out with stuff she finds unpleasant) She knows the sooner she comes and sits next to me, the sooner we're "....Allllll done...!" and then it's on to the fun stuff. Per directions, I spritz each side of her mouth while her mouth is closed. There are also additives to drop in water dish and that seems a popular option.

Yorkie Yakker | I brush their teeth when we get up in the morning before I head to work they have the water additive in the water bowl. I will try the spray see if that helps. They use to sell these breath minta at Walmart for dogs that really helped but I haven't seen any lately. |

| If you brush their teeth every morning, and have gotten them a dental recently (within the past year or two) it could be a digestive issue. I had a foster who still had pretty bad breath after a dental and I mentioned it to the vet. That was what he told me, it could be coming up from the digestive tract not necessarily bacteria in the mouth.

| my girl hates having her teeth brushed but my groomer suggested a tiny amount of pet kiss water additive weekly. luckily when she had her spay, she had a cleaning and my vet said her teeth actually looked good. |

Piper's breath isn't horrible by any means, but she gets 'chicken' breath on occasion...Do you think an additive is necessary or should I stick with the "as we go" dental spray? By the way, how is that beautiful Emma? I think she is just the most darling girl. | |

| Hi! I thought her breath was decent to begin with but yes this really takes away any doggie breath. It says to use daily but I only use a couple of times a week. Ella is our angel, thank you! Piper is beyond precious too!!! |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The bad breath has to come from something so either your vet isn't looking close enough (and btw, you can't diagnose "good teeth", really, without an xray) or there is some other issue. Could it be GERD? See the GERD thread in the Health Library. I'd also get a dental opinion from another vet or a vet dentist. I use Healthy Mouth for mine.

| Btw- my vet just noted that bc of whatever type of rope chew toys Ella is using that she doesn't have any visible plaque, tartar or bad breath. (To clarify) |

| Same with Piper. Also, she gets CET(?) chews, but I have to convince her to chomp 'em--run hot water over the edge then play keep-away...Is there anything we won't do for these little wonders?!!! |

| How long has it been since he had a dental? He could have a rotten tooth or two, that is why his breath is so bad. Toto's breath is really bad. I'm sure he has a bad tooth somewhere. He hasn't had a dental in about 2 years. Time to take him back in.
