Does your standard poodle’s breath have an unpleasant smell? Not all bad breath is necessarily a serious problem. Some dogs just naturally have an unfriendly smelling breath because of genetics or breeding. However, bad breath can also be a signal of dental or gum disease or even another illness. Before jumping to conclusions, try a few tricks to cure your pup’s bad breath. For instance, try brushing his teeth on a routine basis with vet approved dog toothpaste. Change his dog food or add a fresh breath supplement or chew treats. If this doesn’t take care of the problem within a few days then call your vet and schedule a checkup. If it’s not just plain ole’ bad breath then it’s going to require attention and possibly even dental cleanings or tests for illnesses.
