Causes of bad breath in dogs:

1. Dogs suffer from oral diseases. If the dog does not brush his teeth for a long time, it will easily form dental plaque and calculus, or the dog will suffer from oral diseases such as oral ulcers and periodontitis, which will lead to bad breath.

2. The dog does not clean the mouth regularly. During the dog’s eating process, food residues will remain between the teeth. If the owner does not have the habit of brushing the dog’s teeth, the food residues will rot and ferment after a long time, giving off a bad smell.

3. Dogs lack vitamins. When the dog's body lacks vitamin B, it will lead to indigestion, and it is easy to cause oral diseases, which will lead to bad breath in dogs.

4. The dog's digestion is not good. If the dog has constipation, diarrhea, or eats indigestible food that causes flatulence, food accumulation, etc., the smell of food fermentation in the stomach will also be emitted through the mouth.

5. The dog's diet is unhealthy. If the dog always eats human food, eats too much greasy food or eats food with pungent smell, it will cause bad breath in dogs.

6. The dog has diabetes. When a dog suffers from diabetes and develops to the stage of ketosis, the mouth will emit the smell of rotten apples. The owner must take the dog for treatment in time to eliminate the symptoms.
