What should I do if my dog s mouth smells so bad, but he doesn t want to brush his teeth?

Generally speaking, the cause of a dog's foul mouth, such as not brushing his teeth for a long time, causes too much tartar bacteria to accumulate in the mouth. In addition, when dogs suffer from oral diseases, such as periodontitis, gingivitis and other diseases, the dog's mouth will also emit an unpleasant fishy odor. When a dog has a bad smell in the mouth, it means that the dog's oral hygiene problem has become very bad.

Dogs are carnivorous omnivores, after each meal, food debris is easy to stay between the teeth, if not cleaned in time, food debris will rot and breed bacteria, and in severe cases, it will lead to a fishy smell in the mouth. Of course, if the dog's mouth is foul due to oral inflammation, gingivitis, periodontitis or gastrointestinal diseases, then it is best to take the dog to the doctor. The disease must be treated in a timely manner, and at the same time, in daily life, it is necessary to brush the dog's teeth and clean the mouth in time to ensure that the pet dog's oral hygiene will not emit a fishy smell.

Try the Tooth Cleanser! Just drink it directly in water, which is much easier than brushing your teeth, and completely free your hands haha.

There are many reasons why a dog has a foul smell in its mouth, and the following situations are common:

2. It is also possible that the dog may not have taken a bath for a long time, and the food it eats is relatively greasy, resulting in some foul smell from the hair on the side of the mouth, you can give the dog a bath or wipe the mouth to see if the bad breath can be improved.

3. It may also be necessary to consider whether the dog's kidney metabolism is abnormal, and some bad breath will also occur.

4. When the dog's gastrointestinal tract is indigestion, bad breath may also occur, such as being late for some high-protein or fish products, which will also aggravate bad breath.

My dog also has this problem, come and see the answer, hehe.

The causes of bad breath in dogs are as follows:

1. Oral or dental inflammation: gum inflammation, periodontitis, caries inflammation, oral stubborn catarrhal inflammation, tartar, etc.

2. Disharmony of the spleen and stomach: The gas exhaled from the throat has smelly, fishy, foul odor and other gases.

3. Food accumulation and food stagnation: improper feeding, such as overfeeding, or irregular feeding time. The feeding habits of people and dogs are different, although dogs have been domesticated by humans for a long time, but there is little change in feeding habits, dogs eat food as much as possible to the stomach to be safe, under normal circumstances, how much will be eaten, many dog owners do not understand this habit of dogs, if the dog asks us for food, it is not full, and many times feeding, the spleen and stomach of the dog will be broken for a long time, and the food is stagnant.

Most of the dog breeds I have trained are due to this reason.

4. Conditioning methods for food accumulation and food stagnation: (1) Hunger treatment, that is, only water, no food, for 1-2 days, the spleen and stomach will recover after resting; (2) Daily feeding method, I have always recommended this method, the effect is good, you can give it a try: continuous feeding for 6 days, the 7th day is only to give water, not food, and has been circulating, the dog to health; (3) If you have bad breath, after ruling out oral inflammation, it is recommended to use Baohe pills, spleen strengthening pills, hawthorn pills, soothing liver and stomach pills and other Chinese patent medicines, and give the dog 4-5 days.

It is recommended to go to a pet hospital to find a doctor to make a correct diagnosis.

It depends on what causes it, whether it is gastrointestinal problems or dental calculus, or organ failure, just find the right symptom**, dental calculus can be ultrasonic tooth cleaning, teeth will be whiter, not so smelly, gastrointestinal and organ problems depend on what symptoms symptomatic medication.
