[Lolli_lah]

When Lolli was spayed they did a deep cleaning on her teeth. None of the teeth were loose or extracted. I have been brushing her teeth daily with Pet Dental vanilla toothpaste and a 3-headed doggie tooth brush.

She still has bad breath! I don't ever have any bleeding and none of her teeth seem loose, and there doesn't seem to be any signs of infection either i.e. gum swelling or bleeding or pus.

Is this still a cause for concern that I should take her to the vet for, or is it possible that she just HAS bad breath from food or whatever? It's not that bad after I brush but it's not long before it's back.

Also, BESIDES bully sticks and other things like that, do any of you use any type of chews/treats that are for teeth and breath specifically? I have been using Dingo, I know it contains rawhide but she absolutely loves them and they have never made her sick or any of my sisters dogs sick. But they don't seem to DO anything for the breath. The Dingo chews are not made of 100% rawhide, they are made with real chicken (not by-product) so I didn't see them as horrible.

I've heard about the greenie chews (and other brands that have similar gummy chews) are bad and I can see how. So is there any actual dental-related things I can give her that work?
