Keeping Your Dog's Mouth
Healthy and Odor Free
Most people agree that “doggie breath” is annoying to live with. Even worse, your dog's bad breath can reflect poorly on you.
Picture this:
You invite a friend over and sit down together in your living room for a visit. Your dog wags his tail and jumps up to give him a kiss. Your friend instantly turns his head away. You can smell your dog's breath from here and even you gag a little.
Are you a bad pet parent? Of course not. Your dog's bad breath could signal an underlying medical issue. Many dogs get bad breath. The key is to address the issue as quickly as possible.
So, today I want to share some practical tips on how to deal with doggie breath. Let's start by understanding what causes doggie breath...
Bad breath could be a sign of poor oral health. As bacteria on teeth (plaque) build up and harden into tartar, it can spread and turn into periodontal disease affecting your dog's teeth or gums (gingivitis).
The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that oral disease is one of the most frequently diagnosed health problems for dogs, with 80% showing some signs of this by three years old.
However, bad breath could also be a sign of something far worse. Conditions such as kidney failure, diabetes, nasal or facial skin infections, gastrointestinal problems or even cancer might also give dogs bad breath. If your pet's breath is foul-smelling, he's been vomiting or has a loss of appetite, visit your vet right away to find out what's going on.
In my practice, I can't emphasize enough to my clients the importance of a yearly in-clinic dental cleaning and daily teeth brushing.
But I am also realistic and know that most people do not brush their dog's teeth.
So what's the solution? Does your dog just have to live with bad breath and gum disease?
Of course not. There are several ways to keep your dog's teeth clean even if you don't have the time or the desire to brush your dog's teeth on a daily basis.
I am really, really excited about an amazing new breakthrough in pet oral health that can put an end to doggie bad breath. It's called Be Fresh Dental Care Solution.
It's simple to use, convenient and effective … and you don't have to brush your dog's teeth every day to see the benefits. You just add it right in your pet's water bowl. This astonishing new solution contains safe ingredients, which kill the bacteria that cause plaque and tartar and even stop bacteria from growing in your pet's water bowl. It's colorless, odorless and flavorless and cleans your dog's teeth without you having to touch his mouth.
Customers are raving about Be Fresh Dental Care Solution:
“We started using Be Fresh Dental Care Solution last summer … and stopped during the winter for financial reasons. Needless to say, the dogs, Oscar, a 6-yr.-old chocolate lab mix, and Molly, a 3-yr.-old shepherd/blue healer mix, don't even notice it in their water and it has really made a difference in the whiteness of their teeth as well as their breath. Being off of it for the winter was a good way to compare whether or not it was worth buying. They will not be without it again.”

“I have a shih-tzu, now 8 yrs. old, and she has had very bad breath for about two years. I bought this hoping it will help. It has done wonders. Her breath doesn't have a foul odor anymore, and it works instantly. My family just loves the results. She loves it, too. We all just love it!!!!!”

P.S. Big dogs can have big bad breath but small dogs' breath can be just as stinky. If your boxer's or bichon's bad breath is bowling you over, don't just ignore it. Either brush your dog's teeth daily or give Be Fresh Dental Care Solution a try.
