Your dog is a wonderful companion, and you spend quite a bit of time with him. This means that not only will your pet be close to you for a good portion of the day, but that you will notice things about him that others may not, like his breath.

If your dog’s breath is less than stellar, you should try to address the problem head on. He may be eating something that is causing the odor, so take note of any new foods or treats that he has been given and consider switching him to alternate options if this continues to be an issue. He may also need some help keeping his mouth clean. This is where regular teeth brushing can come into play, and you can use special toothbrushes and toothpastes designed to combat bad breath. Your local Oconomowoc, WI veterinarian can help you care for your pet.
