Dogs can get bad breath (halitosis) for several reasons, including:

1. Poor Oral Hygiene & Dental Disease
Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and infections, all of which cause foul-smelling breath.
Gingivitis and periodontitis are common in dogs that don’t get regular teeth cleanings.
2. Diet & Eating Habits
Eating smelly food or low-quality dog food can contribute to bad breath.
Some dogs eat garbage, poop (coprophagia), or rotten food, which makes their breath even worse.
3. Underlying Health Issues
Kidney disease – Breath may smell like ammonia (urine-like).
Liver disease – A strong, foul odor along with yellow gums and vomiting.
Diabetes – A sweet, fruity smell could indicate high blood sugar levels.
4. Gut & Digestive Problems
An imbalance in gut bacteria, acid reflux, or other digestive issues can cause bad breath.
5. Oral Infections or Tumors
Infected wounds, abscesses, or tumors in the mouth can create a rotting smell.
How to Improve Your Dog’s Breath
✅ Regular Teeth Brushing – Use dog-friendly toothpaste and a toothbrush.
✅ Dental Chews & Toys – Helps reduce plaque buildup naturally.
✅ Vet Checkups – To catch dental disease or health issues early.
✅ Healthy Diet – Avoid table scraps and feed high-quality dog food.
✅ Fresh Water – Ensures proper hydration and oral health.

If your dog’s bad breath is persistent, strong, or suddenly worse, a vet visit is recommended to rule out serious health problems! ???????? #Dogs #BadBreath #DogKisses #PetPointers #Tips #Health #ThePetCollective✨????????Subscribe
