Dogs who have bad breath could be a cause of bad teeth or stomach problems. The best way to cure this is to check it up with you're vet and let them examine your dog's teeth to make sure if there is any work to be done on them. dogs are like humans they could also decay.

There are various underlying causes of halitosis or bad breath in dogs. When you sense that your dog's breath is unnaturally offensive, it might be because of gingivitis, periodontitis, or tartar buildup.

Bad breath in dogs is common caused by not brushing your dog's teeth. I mean dogs are like humans, their teeth also decays. Thats why I brush my dogs teeth and it doesn't smell that awful of course.

Of course, brushing your dog's teeth won't hurt either. There are specifically designed toothbrushes exclusively for our dogs, just check your local dog stores.

Improper digestion can also be one of the possible cause; in this case it is not actually the dog's mouth that smells but partially the digested food.

Mouthwash is not appropriate for dogs, because it would affect his/her internal organ. One possible way to prevent halitosis is to brush your dogs' teeth, that way you could almost be sure that your dog is safe against any problem.
