My dog has a bad breath, even after teeth cleaning. What could be causing it?

[]

Answer

Persistent bad breath (halitosis) in dogs, even after dental cleanings, can indicate issues beyond typical plaque and tartar. It might suggest more severe periodontal disease, requiring further dental intervention. However, bad breath can also be a symptom of systemic diseases like kidney disease, liver disease, or diabetes, or even oral tumors. A comprehensive veterinary examination, possibly including blood work, is recommended to pinpoint the underlying cause and ensure your dog's overall health. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
