Bad breath.

[vmac66]

My elderly dog has really bad breath. He has various health issues so putting him through a dental at the vets isn't an option. He's at the stage in his life where we are keeping him comfortable. Any ideas what we could tryto make his breath smell better. He won't let me brush his teeth.

Using a plaque remover can help it's basically seaweed meal and you just sprinkle it on his food, you can buy it on eBay or pets at home.

As above we use a product called 'Plaque Off'.

Ive been using that but doesnt seem to make any difference ! My old dogs breath could stop a charging rhino !

I think if the plaque has really built up it's too late, plaque off does soften the plaque so you can brush or scrape off but unless you do that it won't work.

My old boy had a condition called lip fold dermatitis. The smell was horrendous and his saliva stank as well. The vet gave us a sort of toothpaste to rub on his gum and just squeeze along his teeth, no brushing required. This worked miracles. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was called.

This worked on our JRT - no brushing required!
