How can I get rid of my boxer dogs bad breath?

My boxer dog has started to get really bad (fishy) breath and I do brush his teeth and I even got him dog breath spray, is there anything else I can do ? Thanks

When a dog starts getting smelly breath then it is no good just covering it up with sprays etc, but you need to find out the cause.

It could be coming from his teeth / gums, and could have infection there. If he does and this is allowed to go on then they can get infection setting up in the jaw bone, and that gets very expensive to treat as they can need ongoing antibiotics for years.

The other thing a bad breath can be is the start of kidney failure as the urea in the system causes the breath to really stink. I mean you can smell it from 6 ft away.

It can also be as simple as his diet not agreeing with him. I don’t like to push the raw diet onto people, but quite honestly, you never get a bad breath from raw fed dogs unless there is a tooth / internal problem.

So before you just try to mask it then find out what is causing it.

My dog smells like a skunk, but was not sprayed by one? Help?

No matter how many baths I give her, she still has a skunk odor. Her breath is even worse! Her breath smells like a skunk sprayed her inside the mouth. Has anybody else had this problem? What can I do to help it? Thanks!

Then it must be an internal problem. Stomach problems could cause bad breath and where she sleep could cause the bad odor.
