Mini Schnauzer Bad Breath?

Question

My puppy is 6 months old and she has been teething. I believe that she has bad breath now because of the bleeding that's going on. Is that the probable cause, and if so, will it just improve once she is done, or is there something we can do to help.

Answer 1

Check with your vet to make sure her teeth and gums are healthy. She may need a professional cleaning if she has a lot of tartar build-up. Give her lots of Milk Bone-type treats to help her scrape off excess tartar.



You can use a product called "Happy Breath" if the problem isn't medical: http://store.yahoo.com/animalmedicstore/habrdogdespp.html
