Bad Breath!

Oh has she got some awful breath lately! :dead:

I checked her teeth to see if she had something stuck or a sore or bad tooth and everything's fine in her mouth. I though maybe it could be she was sick cause I know sometimes they will get bad breath from that, but she acts fine and seems perfectly healthy and happy.

I guess she just has bad breath? Do they make breath mints for puppies??
 
Hi Brie,

Check out the Sheltie Nation article titled Does your Sheltie have bad breath? on this very subject.

It might not be the reason Madi has bad breath, but it is a good place to start for information. I know Ive seen breath mints for dogs, but they just temporarily mask the problem.

My little Toby tends to have horrible breath. :dead: It is much improved after a good cleaning with a dental tool (to get the tarter off at the gum line) & then a brushing with dog tooth paste.

I'd take a vet visit first...then if nothing comes up wrong, look into doggie breath mints.
I saw some in the store (Food Lion) once. My mom was like :rolleyes2:.
 
Thank you for the article. My husband already mentioned that maybe we should brush her teeth, so I think that maybe we will now ;)
 
I use Leba III, a spray that keeps tartar from building up. Now that we have five dogs (yes, we rescued another one -- a Chow/Golden Retriever cross from a kill pound), I have to be thrifty as well as healthy!
 
Deffinetly brush the teeth : ] I try and brush Shelbie's teeth twice a week or more if I find the time and her breath has never been bad since! Good luck!!
