Q: I was wondering why my dog has such bad breath?
A: The chances are, your dog has some bad teeth.\ If you don't have your dog on a regular dental care program of professional cleaning and brushing after that at home. it is very likely that your dog has accumulated some tartar and developed gingivitis. Some teeth might even need to be extracted. Normally, dog breath should not be offensive. If it is, please bring your dog in to have his teeth cleaned!
