BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | Bad Breath ?? I have noticed my Yorkie has very bad breath lately, I give her chews that are suppose to help dental problems. But they dont seem to be working. Any body else have breath problems? I have never brushed her teeth, but I'm going out today and getting her a doggie tooth brush. Hopefully she will cooperate! |

| Does she have a bad tooth maybe? Or something stuck in the teeth? Good luck with the brushing anyway, it's a good idea!

| I haven't actually got into Mitzi's mouth yet! LoL!! But from what the other members have told me, once they get used to it, they seem to like it just fine

| Just curious if you read any of the Teeth for Life thread. I think it looks like it is a great product. I'm gonna start using it on Emma, who is 11 months old now. Might as well nip bad breath in the bud before it starts!

| We discovered that Lucky loves Listerene breath strips when I accidentally dropped one and she snatched it up. She shook her head for a while like she was trying to get rid of it, but then she came back for more. When her breath gets really bad, we break a tiny piece off for her and it clears it right up! She seems to really like them! You might want to check with your vet or some other yorkie owners before doing this though. It has never bothered Lucky, although she is remarkably large for a yorkie and she definitely does not have a sensitive stomach. |

| If you just brush their teeth everyday (no exceptions) their breath will be just great. There are minty toothpastes for dogs that you can buy at the vets or pet stores and they work as long as you brush their everyday. It makes a huge difference. Also if her baby teeth haven't all fallen out, she will have some stinky breath.
