Heya guys.
I got a new foster dog over the weekend. He's a Rat Terrier.
I don't have any vet records or background on him, other then what his previous owners told me.
At any rate, he seems in good health and he's going to the vet this week, he will need all the vacs and to be neutered.
However, his breath smells terribly bad to me. It smells like musky dog pee, not like ammonia. And when he licks himself, it causes the rest of him to smell like doggie pee!
We just gave him a thorough bath on Saturday and the dirt was pouring off of him, so we know he needed it.
We've been giving him good chew treats like Greenie's and getting him used to having his teeth brushed.
What else can I do to help this breath problem? He LOVES to lick, so he's always got his tongue in my face.
