| stinky breath My yorkies have the worst breath - even after having their teeth cleaned at the vet. I tried brushing them, I give them greenies and other dental/breath chews, they are on a special dental food (hard w/special enzymes) but their breath is just horrendous!!! Anyone have any suggestions? |

| Welcome to YorkieTalk Quite a few Yorkies have bad breath. Do they have periodontal disease? Most dental chews and greenies won't do much. Are you brushing their teeth?

| Ellie gets here teeth brushed everyday and right after here last cleaning the same thing was happening. I don't have an answer but my thought for Ellie is that her liver might be causing it. I don't know what would be causing your Yorkies' problem, but I think it could be intestinal.

| Now I see that you have four Yorkies, so my guess is it is not intestinal.
