Does Your English Bulldog Puppy Have Bad Breath?
Bad breath is not always a sign of bad dental hygiene in your English Bulldog puppy. It could be something more serious. Here are some things to look out for and how to avoid getting bad breath.
Usually, bad breath is caused by built up plaque or tartar that leaves odor-causing bacteria between the teeth, in the gums and along the tongue. This can lead to gum diseases, tooth decay and even tooth loss. That’s why brushing your English Bulldog puppy’s teeth is so important. Sometimes, even regular brushings can leave behind plaque or tartar. Talk to your vet about scheduling regular cleanings to be sure everything is healthy in your pup’s mouth.
You may be concerned if your pup’s breath smells fruity or sweet. This could mean diabetes for your English Bulldog puppy. If his breath smells like urine, it could be a sign of a problem with his kidneys. Or if he has foul breath coupled with vomiting and a yellow color to his gums and eyes, this could be a problem with his liver.
But don’t worry – it may not be something that serious at all. Sometimes, even if the teeth are clean and there are no problems with the kidneys, liver or diabetes, it could be something happening in the lungs or gastrointestinal tract. Your vet may suggest that you switch your English Bulldog puppy to another food to help with proper digestion and cut down on his bad breath.
There are many treats and bones on the market that promote healthy teeth and fresh breath. Dental health is just as important for your English Bulldog puppy as it is for us so keeping up with his teeth cleaning and vet check-ups will keep him healthy and happy!
