My dog's breath stinks! He won't let me brush or use dental gel.

Question

How can I get rid of my dogs bad breath? I tried the Dental Gel from a brand that was recommended by vets on my dog but he would use all his strength and move a lot to get away. Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 6 months old | 20 lbs

You may want to have your vet examine Bow to make sure he doesn’t have any dental disease or other oral disease causing his bad breath. If your vet has already examined Bow your best bet would probably be to brush his teeth using a dog toothpaste. You should acclimate him slowly to tooth brushing and try to make it a good experience by pairing with treats. Try brushing for a very short period of time each day and stop if he starts to get upset.
