Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend brushing the teeth with a enzymatic toothpaste such as CET enzymatic toothpaste. If the breath does not improve after using this, or the breath worsens I would recommend having a veterinarian examine the mouth to ensure there is no infection in the mouth or other disease. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
