Worry-Free Dog Boarding in Las Vegas Nevada
Good dental health is critical for a dog’s overall well-being. The keys to maintaining good oral health are regular brushings and feeding a fresh food diet . If you are doing those things and your dog’s breath is still consistently terrible, be sure to visit your vet for an assessment.
But if your dog’s breath could use just a little sprucing up, you can enlist the help of some additional natural remedies. The best part? You can probably find most of these ingredients right in your kitchen.
What causes bad breath in dogs
First, it’s important to understand why your dog’s breath might be offensive. The most common cause of bad breath in dogs is periodontal disease, a condition suffered by over 80% of dogs over the age of 3.
Whenever a dog eats, food particles mix with bacteria in the dog’s mouth, and if your pet’s teeth are not brushed soon after eating, the residue forms a film called plaque. Plaque buildup in turn can harden into tartar if not brushed away and when tartar buildup develops beneath the gum line it can lead to periodontal disease.
There are a range of other medical issues that can lead to bad breath, including diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and gastrointestinal issues. If your dog’s breath is consistently foul, and you notice other symptoms, like loss of appetite, excessive drooling or drinking, or vomiting, be sure to consult your vet.
