I have already spent lots at the vet so hoping for some ideas. He is a feisty little chap and I can't se him agreeing to the teeth being brushed, oh have also been trying the dental chews. |
Sometimes even though they remove baby teeth at the neuter, there are still some left behind. If he still has retained baby teeth, this will def cause bad breath - AND teeth problems; so I'd have your vet double check the tooth situation.
Dogs' breath isn't bad when things are healthy and normal, so there is definitely something going on in his mouth that shouldn't be happening. After you get it fixed w/ the vet, then you may want to consider some maintenance products like Healthy Mouth, Plaque Off, Wysong Denta Treat Powder, Leba III ($$$), brushing if you can.
Also, good chews that challenge him will help scrape off some tartar and keep teeth cleaner. You may want to get some CET Chews from Amazon (too expensive at the vets), as they have some dental chemicals on them that are beneficial.
