Bad breath is also a problem in dogs just as much as it is for humans which are a red flag for impending dental problems. If a home dental care is not established, without daily tooth brushing, plaque and tartar can form and harden on the dog’s teeth. The build-up of plaque and tartar promotes the growth of bacteria that produce unpleasant odors, therefore causing bad breath. Dogs would benefit from getting used to a dental routine very early on. The buildup of unwanted substances such as toxins because of a kidney dysfunction could also be the reason behind your dog’s foul-smelling breath. Dogs harboring fungal or bacterial infections in their ears can also produce an offensive odor. Typical symptoms of ear infection that accompany the foul odor include redness and ear discharge. Fur or hair around the dog’s eyes can sweep bacteria directly into the eye causing an infection that could make the dog experience eye discharge or make it tear up excessively.
If you’re worried about what’s causing your dog’s foul odor, have a trip to the animal hospital Jacksonville FL to get them checked.
