YorkieTalk Newbie! | Bad Breath in a puppy??? Brody is 6 months old and has terrible bad breath (its not puppy breath). I bought a tooth brush and I have slowly been working with him to begin brushing his teeth, but because he is so cuddly and always in our face, this bad breath has got to go!! Has anyone had any problems with this?? I know there are certain chews and treats that are available to buy, but do they really work and are they safe for a puppy/small dog...he only weighs 4 pds. I could use some advice, I would like to find out why he has such bad breath, is this common in this breed? He eats Purina puppy chow, and sometimes he will steal the cats food.. |

| I am having the same problem with my puppy except.....I know what her problem is..... she eats her poop. Really! She has never had that puppy breath that I just love because she always smells like poop! I finally got some of that for-bid and I am trying that right now. I think it is working. I don't know if this is what your puppy is doing or not. Brushing is always a good idea and when they are young is the best time to get them going on that.

| It's likely because he is acquiring his adult teeth. Completely normal when they are teething and nothing to worry about. Make sure that he has lots of toys that promote teething and gum health and brush his teeth in the meantime. |
