Does your pooch have stinky breath? Find out what causes it below!

If something doesn’t smell quite right, it means that something could be wrong.

1. Excess Plaque and Calculus

Plaque and calculus build up when you don't brush your dogs' teeth regularly. Imagine what your breath would smell like if you took a toothbrush to your mouth just once a month.

2. Your Dog Licks at Something Gross

Maybe it was something tasty from the litterbox, a poop from the park or delights from the garbage, but eating something nasty will stink up your dog’s breath.

3. Health Issues

Less common, but far more serious, mouth infections or kidney disease can create smelly breath.

Now that you've uncovered the truth about your doggy's stinky breath, it's important you fix it! Whether it's caused by a lack of dental care or more serious health issues, keeping your doggy safe, healthy and minty fresh will help him live a happy life.
