| Bad Breath Help!! Hello everyone, I just recently joined YT and it has been very informative. My dollbaby is 4 and he has horrible breath. I have heard it is common in small breeds for this to occur. I had some of his baby teeth removed a couple of years ago that did not fall out on their own, and thought that was the problem. I just have his teeth cleaned at the vet every so often because he will not let me brush them he freaks out. Any tips on getting him to let me brush, or something? Thanks for your help. |

| I use a product called Life for Teeth and spray in Maddie's mouth each day. If your dog has tartar or plaque, this would clear it up and I believe it also helps with breath. There is also a Brush Away gel that you can brush the teeth with. I have that too, but mostly use the spray. Maddie is about 20 months old and I've been using this for about 5 months. She's never had plaque or tartar on her teeth and I think it's because I'm using the Petzlife products. My sister started using it on her dog that did have a lot of plaque or tartar and they are totally white again! Hope this helps...I think it's great stuff and lasts a long time too! http://www.petzlife.com/

| You will have to let us all know how it works for you! It is quite an amazing product and so easy to use...and you're right...much, much cheaper and safer than having them put under to have teeth cleanings! Like I said, with my sister's dog, I saw the improvement with my own eyes! It's great stuff!

| I have a question and was hoping someone might know the answer. Scampers will be 6 months at the end of this month. His adult teeth are just starting to come in and I noticed that he has really bad breath. He gets his teeth brushed regularly and he did not have bad breath before his adult teeth started coming in and actually started getting bad breath at the same time his teeth started growing in. Can this bad breath be because he is teething???
