Staffy with bad breath Posted 171 days ago I have a staffy and a retriever x, and they eat the same, share the same toys and all, but the staffy has the worst breath ever. It smells something like dead fish. I have tried to brush around his mouth, especially where the muscles are on the side of his mouth, with a plain toothbrush (no toothpaste). I give him denta-bones and marrow bones. his teeth are clean and clear but I can't get rid of this bad breath. |

RE: Staffy with bad breath Posted 155 days ago Try giving him some "Yip Yaps". You can buy them at your local petstore. Here what they look like: |

RE: Staffy with bad breath Posted 137 days ago Parsley is natures breath freshener - I use this in my dogs food! As long as your pet doesnt have some underlying health issue (dogs can have similar bacterial gut issues to humans - including but not limited to peptic ulcers and of course halitosis)This should help - I even make my dogs peanut butter biscuits with parsley. |

RE: Staffy with bad breath Posted 22 days ago My labrador had this problem too until I found a dental ball for dogs at our local coles supermarket. Its about the size of a tennis ball with rubber teeth set into grooves. I spread a little peanut butter into the grooves and she will quite happily chew on it for 1/2 an hour or so. Bingo - no more bad breath and clean teeth to boot. |

RE: Staffy with bad breath Posted 21 days ago hey there have you checked your dogs teeth to see if there are any decaying or rotton? we had a similar prob not with a staffy but it turned out our dog needed two of his teeth pulled if you are unsure when you look your local vet will have a look and tell you wheather any teeth need to be removed or maybe need a proper cleaning which your vet can do to hope this helps regards trailie |
