| Stinky Breath My dog Rudy has real bad breath....what can I do to stop it other than brushing his teeth. His coat gets stinky too. I bathe him every two weeks....he is offensive at times. All suggestions welcomed. |

| Fleece toys seem to help Bella. Also hard chews like bully stick/ carrots. Good luck! |

| Make sure that he isn't in need of having his teeth cleaned. Also, 'table foods' can contribute to the problem. There are crunchy dog treats that are mint flavored that work pretty well. Also, I have one with stinky breath that nothing seemed to help--got a recommended product (Liquid Oral Care) that you add a cap of to their drinking water. It helps break up plaque and really does help to freshen their breath. Took about 2 weeks to notice a difference. It is wonderful stuff! |

| Have you looked into Petzlife oral gel? Many people on YT use it on their yorkies and swear by it. It worked wonders on my two, combined with regular brushing. Here is the link if you are interested. www.petzlife.com From my own experience, the gel works better than the spray since my boys freak out when I try to spray their mouths.
