All dogs have breath that can quite literally take your breathe away occasionally. The causes are varied it may be food between the teeth, tooth decay, gum disease or just the diet the dog is eating. Many tinned foods make a dog’s mouthy smell. Regular visits to a veterinary surgeon can keep the build up of tartar under control. Giving your bog a large raw bone lamb or been bone twice a week helps the dog clean its own teeth. This bone should not be cooked as cooked bones can lead to constipation.

Somne dogs have a tendency to bury foos particles and eat them later and this does not help oral hygiene.
