Where are the inredients?
Leema is so right, my rescue was a severely malnourished dog when we first met him, and his breath coulda knocked you over back then.
Peeough! It was
nasty.
.
Now he is well fed, eats a healthy properly nutritious diet, and has absolutely no bad breath at all. None. at all.
.
I think Leema is right. Bad breath is not "natural" in dogs.
.
A dog with bad breath should be takent to vets for exam, pointing out to vet
that IS the reason you want dog checked out, to rule out dental decay or some stomach problem or whatever that could be
causing the bad breath.
.
and also, the owner should review the dog's dog food and even
what type of treats he is being fed.
Most dog foods bought in grocery stores are mostly bags of
corn, which is UNDIGESTIBLE to dogs, and corn can ferment a bit in the stomach, and cause bad breath.
.
Many dogs are fed top-notch dog foods,
but then,
the same dog who gets
great dog food, is given
horrible dog treats. (But, it IS kinda hard to find actually nutritious dog treats that are not super expensive.)
.
and giving dog bits of
human food, some of that might not be healthy for dog, either, lotsa sugar too, to promote dental decay in dogs.

HOW LUCKY AM I?-------->
my dog flosses his own teeth by
gnawing on stuffed toys almost daily. lol. We initially rubbed cheese and peanut butter onto stuffed toys to increase his interest in stuffed toys,
and we highly encourage him to do this, and still praise him for doing that.
.
He gets the occasional raw bone to gnaw on, too.
.
It's cute, he acts as if he is removing fleas or ticks of the toys, rubs his teeth all over the toys, for a long time, gnawing imaginary'fleas' off of the toy. He is at least 4 years old now (best guess, could be older) and still has gleaming white teeth and great breath. I *think* it is his healthy diet and his TOYS that keep his teeth so good looking.
