Tips to Fight Your Pet’s Bad Breath – Associated Content



We’ve all had the experience of your pet jumping on you and breathing directly in your face, you love your pet but you hate the smell of their breath. It’s enough to make you lose your appetite. Pets,

especially dogs, sniff around digging and eating almost anything so you really shouldn’t expect their breath to smell fresh and clean. There could be many reasons why your pet’s breath smells bad. Just like humans, your pet’s bad breath could be caused by plaque buildup on their teeth. However, there are things you can do to help freshen up your pet’s bad breath.

The first tip to help your pet’s bad breath is to fight plaque. Unlike humans, pets don’t need to brush their teeth everyday. However, brushing their teeth a couple of times a week can cut down on the plaque buildup. The best time to start brushing your pet’s teeth is when they’re puppies or kittens – about three or four months old. Just like other activities like wearing a collar, staying in a dog or cat house, sleeping and relieving themselves in certain areas, pets get use to doing certain activities. If you start brushing their teeth when they are young, they will get use to it and become more comfortable with it. Brushing your pet’s teeth will make your pet feel as if you are forcing something in their mouth, so be gentle. To comfort and relax your pet, pet them and stroke their mouths gently for a few minutes while you gently put the toothbrush in their mouth.
