What can be done to help prevent gum and teeth problems which cause bad breath?

After your dog’s mouth has been professionally examined and any necessary dental work attended to, it is recommend that a few steps are taken to help reduce the process of plaque and tartar build up on your dog’s teeth. Why not start this preventative regime from puppy hood?

Feed your dog raw bones

Brush your dog’s teeth

Feed hard foods

Feed your dog a commercial diet specially formulated to reduce tartar buildup

Use a vet prescribed “mouthwash” that is added to your dog’s drinking water or placed in the mouth
