My puppy's breath stinks again despite weekly Dentastix. What to do?

Question

What can I do for my dogs bad breath? I give him dentastix by pedigree once a week and the first couple of days he is fine but by the end of the week his breath stinks again. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 months and 18 days old

At his age, the bad breath could be an abscess or the normal shedding of his puppy teeth. Take a good look inside his mouth to check for any abnormalities. You may also consider having him examined by the veterinarian if you are not sure what you are seeing. Otherwise, I recommend to brush his teeth. This is one of the best ways to maintain dental health: https://www.petcoach.co/article/brushing-teeth-home-dental-care/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
