πΎ What Causes Bad Breath in Dogs? π¦΄
Bad breath in dogs can be more than just an unpleasant odor; it could signal underlying health issues. Here are common causes:
1. Dental Disease: Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease.
2. Oral Infections: Abscesses or infections in the mouth can cause foul breath.
3. Diet and Foreign Objects: Certain foods or objects stuck in the mouth can create odors.
4. Gastrointestinal Issues: Digestive problems or an upset stomach may result in bad breath.
5. Kidney Disease: A distinct, ammonia-like smell may indicate kidney problems.
6. Diabetes: Sweet or fruity-smelling breath could be a sign of diabetes.
If your dog has persistent bad breath, itβs time to visit the clinic for an evaluation. Early detection can help maintain their oral health and overall well-being.
