Do you love cuddling with your furry friend, but their breath makes you want to hold your breath?

To fix your doggy's breath, you have to fix BOTH their (1) Gut Health and (2) Dental Hygiene...

Here are some tips to safeguard your dog, so that you can enjoy smell-free kisses and unlimited cuddles!

(Read on to find out the root cause behind smelly breaths!)

1. Brush their teeth regularly: Just like us, dogs need to brush their teeth to maintain good oral health. Brush their teeth daily, or at least 3 times a week, with a dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste.

2. Give them chews and toys to gnaw on: Gnawing on chews and toys can help scrub away plaque and freshen their breath. Plus, it's a great way to keep them entertained.

3. Stay on top of their dental check-ups: Regular dental cleanings by a vet can help keep your dog's mouth healthy and their breath fresh.

4. Feed them a balanced diet: A well-balanced diet can improve their gut health, which is a critical part (and the root cause for smelly breaths)... More on this below!

5. Cut back on stinky treats: treats are a great way to reward your pup, but some can be real breath killers. Some of these treats contain high sodium and KNOWN toxins that can seriously damage your dog's gut health (and breath)...

6. Stay hydrated: a well hydrated dog is a happy dog, and it also keeps their breath smelling fresh. Make sure your pup always has access to fresh water and encourage them to drink throughout the day!

The root cause of smelly breaths is often times due to poor gut health...

Here - let me explain:

Digestive problems in the gut can also lead to the growth of harmful bacteria, which can contribute to bad breath by producing foul-smelling gases. These bacteria can also cause infections in the mouth and throat, leading to even more unpleasant odors.

Additionally, when a dog's gut is out of balance, they may be more susceptible to food intolerances and allergies, which can lead to digestive issues and bad breath.
