| Resolution for Bad Breath My new puppy has some nasty breath. She was started out on Science Diet and I think that is the reason for the smelly breath. Has anyone else experienced that from that food? I'm weaning her off of that and have her eating Canidae. I have started brushing her teeth, but is there anything else I might be able to do? The water additives sound good, but I'm afraid she might not drink the water then. Let me know. Thanks in advance!! This site is an amazing resource! |

| Science Diet is not great food so you're right to switch her to Canidae, which is great food! It's possible that your puppy is starting to lose her teeth. Sometimes when the teeth get loose, food and bacteria get stuck in them and makes the mouth smell horrible. Franklin's was almost unbearable! Just keep brushing and hopefully it'll pass soon.

| How old is she? Is it possible that she's retaining baby teeth that she should have already lost?

| How old is your puppy? A young puppy should not have bad breath unless you're talking about normal puppy breath which I love. |

| I started using liquid oral care and I love this stuff, my vet recommended it and it has helped out so much. I highly recommend it. Liquid Oral Care for Cats - Health Care - Cat - PetSmart
