My dog has a bad breath and yellow teeth at only two years old. Is this normal?

[]

Answer

Bad breath and yellow teeth in a two-year-old dog are not normal and suggest early onset dental disease. This typically means there's a build-up of plaque and tartar, which can lead to gingivitis and eventually painful periodontal disease, potentially affecting overall health. It's crucial to schedule a veterinary dental check-up. Your vet may recommend a professional dental cleaning under anesthesia to assess and address the issues. Regular home dental care, like brushing, is vital for prevention. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
