How do I get rid of my dog's bad breath and improve their oral health?

Question

How do I clean or treat Mila's smelly breath? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 7 months and 30 days old

Destini R. Holloway, DVM · Accepted Answer

At this age she most likely has bad breath due to Halle ptosis which is an accumulation of bacteria on the back of her tongue or the beginning stages of dental disease. You want to tackle this by brushing her teeth every day with a pet formulated toothpaste and toothbrush which you can find at your local pet store. You can also do oral rinses with a pet formulated rents also located at your pet store. If the bad breath continues then it is a good idea to have your veterinarian do a complete oral exam to make sure there are no other concerns that need to be addressed. I hope this helps!
