Improving your dog's breath can involve a combination of good dental hygiene, diet, and possibly some specialized products. Here are some of our suggestions:
1. Regular Brushing: Just like humans, dogs benefit from regular tooth brushing. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for dogs. Start slowly to get your dog accustomed to the process.
2. Dental Chews: There are many dental chews available that can help reduce plaque and tartar buildup while freshening your dog's breath. Look for ones that are appropriately sized for your dog's breed.
3. Breath Sprays: Some sprays are formulated with enzymes that help break down plaque and tartar that contribute to bad breath in dogs. Mintier's Breath Spray is uniquely formulated with Zinc Chloride & Zinc Citrate to help fight bad breath and Hyaluronic acid to repair and protect the gums.
4. Water Additives: Consider adding a water additive to help freshen your dog's breath while also promoting dental health. These are typically added to your dog's drinking water and can be an easy way to supplement their oral care routine. Mintier's Water Additive is both odourless and colourless and dogs love it!
We always recommend consulting with your veterinarian before introducing any new products into your dog's routine to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your pet.
