Does your dog have bad breath? Just like humans, dogs are susceptible to oral issues, including plaque, tartar, toothaches, gum swelling, and bad breath. To ensure your pal’s teeth remain as strong and healthy as possible, the expert veterinarians from Montgomery Animal Hospital in Cincinnati, OH, will explain what to do.

The first step is a professional evaluation so any painful mouth issues can be found and treated. Then, daily brushing is the best way to keep your dog’s mouth healthy. To get started, check out Montgomery Animal Hospital’s helpful video

You can also give your pal a few treats to boost their oral health, such as:

  • Dental Chews: From chicken to mint, there are a range of dental chew treats on the market specially formulated for your canine. For the best quality, check for ones approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council, or talk to your veterinarian. Montgomery Animal Hospital particularly recommends CET HEXtra® Oral Hygiene Chews.
  • veterinarianRawhide: Rawhide is a classic treat most dogs love. Not only will this treat keep your pooch entertained and satisfied, but it’s also good for their oral health. Try to find preservative-free rawhides to avoid exposure to chemicals – in general, stay away from the flavored varieties. 
  • Dental Dog Bones: Similar to dental chews, there are dental dog bones that will help keep your pooch’s oral health in check. Popular brands like Greenies®, Nutri Dent®, and Checkups® are all tasty and veterinarian-approved.

Since many of these treats contain fat and calories, be careful not to overdo it. Your dog’s dental health is important, but so is a healthy weight.
