| Help! Stinky breath alert! Does anyone else have trouble with stinky breath with their little ones? I have tried oxyfresh in her water, greenies, dentabones, mint gel chewie things...and her breath always seems a bit on the not-so-fresh side. Her vet says there's nothing wrong with her teeth currently (they've been cleaned, too!). I can't seem to get it under control...if you guys have any advice, I'd appreciate it...so would my pup Zoey! |

| Zoey is almost 3 years old now. I know what you mean...her breath was definitely worse back when she was teething (she actually had a couple back baby teeth that kind of stuck back there and kept germs and nastiness harbored back there! Yuk!). Her breath is definitely not as horrible as THAT, but still...just smells a bit musty and icky. Is that just dog breath? |

| I found some breath tablets at Wal-mart in the dog aisle by the flea meds and it has worked great for Sebastian. Maybe you should give it a try. I usually give him 1 a day. |

| it's a phase...maybe I think sometimes, dogs go through phases of bad breath. Some days, Sully's breath is fine and other days it's like UGH, DOG-BREATH! Haha. I tried those "Hartz" breath strips, you know, the kind like you could get for humans from listerine? Well, not only did Sully HATE them....they only "helped" his breath for like five minutes. So much for that! Don't EVEN bother! There are bones for dental health, too. And in the dog-toothbrush section at petsmart they have a lot of different things. Good luck with Zoey! (She doesn't mind YOUR morning breath! )

| Man, I remember Dozer having horrible breath *GaG* I switched him to a raw food diet & he doesn't have bad breath anymore... Bailey still has somewhat of puppy breath, which I don't like, but I can't wait until he gets switched over so he doesn't have bad breath either. I'm not sure what you can give them to make their breath smell better |

| Speaking of bad breath and teething, when do they lose their teeth? I don't know if I missed it or it hasn't happened yet.
