My puppy has bad breath, is it normal for puppies?

[]

Answer

While some 'puppy breath' is normal, strong or foul-smelling breath can indicate an issue. This could include retained deciduous (baby) teeth, gingivitis, or even dietary issues. In some cases, it can signal more serious problems like kidney disease or gastrointestinal upset, although these are less common in young puppies. It's a good idea to have your vet check your puppy's mouth during their next check-up to ensure there are no underlying dental or health problems. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
