Okay, I know that dogs don't necessarily have the best breath going... but my soon to be 7 month old terrier mix puppy (Lola) has got the nastiest dog breath ever....ewwwww I've just never had a puppy have such bad breath.
I'm thinking it might be the food she is currently eating. I have been planning on getting her the innova dog food.. but I was out sick for a couple of weeks without pay and to be honest money is a tad bit tight right now... so I was gonna let her finish up this last big bag of purina puppy chow we have. I've had other dogs over the years on the same puppy chow because I didn't know any better and none of them had bad breath like she's got. It literally gags me.
She's been to the vet recently for her last set of puppy shots and got a clean bill of health... and naturally I had a list of questions for the vet and forgot to ask him about the bad breath.
This is gonna sound soooooo discusting... but I am wondering if this has any factor in her bad breath. Okay, dont' read any further if you get grossed out easy, cuz this really is gross.
She goes nuts for dirty maxi pads, tampons, feminine wash pads dirty with blood. She shreds them all over the house! Yes I have put the trash barrels out of reach, or so I thought. But sometimes my daughter moves the bathroom trash barrel off her sink and forgets to pull it back up and we have the joy of cleaning this shredded mess up everywhere. We've tried keeping the bathroom door closed... and then one of us will go use the bathroom and walk out forgetting to close the door. I guess we just need to do a better job of keeping the dirty feminine products out of her reach.
I had a co worker coming to my house yesterday to pick me up for work and just before she got here.... out of the corner of my eye I see Lola run toward the living room with something hanging out of her mouth. I ran after her and there she stood ... busted red handed with a dirty always with wings hanging from her mouth!!! I would have died if my co worker saw that.
I wonder if that may be contributing to her bad breath... i never noticed her breath being like this until she started shredding those things. I guess I'll try real hard to keep her from them and see if that doesn't help with the breath problem. I'm sorry if I grossed anyone out. I'm just puzzled at how a little dog can have such horrendous breath when her teeth and gums are in excellent shape. She doesn't even have any tarter build up. Her teeth are bright white and shiny clean.
