Bad breath in dogs – which dog owner isn’t familiar with this? Bad breath often occurs in older dogs, but it can also be unpleasantly noticeable in younger dogs or even puppies. The breath is often described as foul, fishy, or sour. In this guide, we explain the causes and how bad breath in dogs can be sustainably and naturally combated.
How does bad breath develop in dogs?
It’s usually caused by bacterial cultures in the mouth and throat, which can cause unpleasant odors and even gum inflammation. However, food residue that gets stuck between the teeth or rotten teeth, which often occur with age, can also cause bad breath in dogs. Disorders in the gastrointestinal tract can also play a role. It’s important to know that in most cases, bacteria in the mouth and throat are actually the cause of unpleasant bad breath in dogs. To stop this permanently and not just mask it, the causes must be treated to restore a healthy oral flora and harmonious digestion.
What helps combat bad breath in dogs?
Nature often offers us a wealth of options to restore our dogs’ bad breath flora. However, we should take a step back and first rule out food residue between the teeth as the cause. Consider whether you’ve changed brands of food, or whether your dog previously had no bad breath on the same brand of food. If you’ve changed food, first return to the previous food. If you’ve switched due to intolerances, please try a different food. Keep in mind that dry food isn’t necessarily the best choice. Dry food can actually be just as unhealthy as fast food for humans.
After a few days of unsuccessful attempts to combat bad breath by changing the food, we should reach into Mother Nature’s tried-and-true herbal box. A special selection of natural herbs is suitable for addressing the problem holistically. Unlike some dental sprays, drops, or dental snacks for dogs, which only mask the symptoms, these address the root cause of the problem.
What doesn’t help: People often ask whether there are any home remedies that can help. Among these tips are also “insider tips” such as vinegar essence, citric acid, or mints. However, I wonder how anyone could even consider giving these to their dog? Parsley is also often recommended. The chlorophyll and essential oils in parsley can actually mask bad breath somewhat. However, it should be noted that all these “great” tips do not help to combat the causes. It merely temporarily masks the odor.
