The puppies have bad breath already

Both Milo and Phoebe are only 5 months old and they already have bad breath, kind of upset about this as they are still puppies!

Any remedies that I could use?

I'm looking to buy some of the CSJ's "Simply 'Seaweed and Parsley' " Herb or the CSJ "Simply 'Dem Bones!"

Has anyone tried these for their dogs?

Re: The puppies have bad breath already

Rupert had smelly breath at one point when he was a pup, for him it turns out that his anal glands needed emptying and he was going crazy itching his bum, it wasn't a poopy smell at all, but that was the only time he had bad breath as a pup, might be a possibility..?

Not too sure about those treats in particular but ones with parsley and the like in tend to do the trick people have told me

Re: The puppies have bad breath already

They are currently teething so I'm not sure if that may be one of the reasons.

Re: The puppies have bad breath already

I think it's normal for puppies to have bad breath and should improve over time. My dog had the same problem and I switched him over to hard dog food, which I believe is better for the breath and teeth, and a couple times a week I give him a clean bone to chew on. Seems to have worked for him.

Re: The puppies have bad breath already

Could I put fresh parsley in their meals everyday, would that sort it out because Zeus also has bad breath but no where near as bad as Milo's.
