Bad Breath

I would suggest a trip to the vet-maybe a dental would do some good. At least the vet can see if there's any rotten ones back there-one rotten tooth can make a nasty smell. Otherwise, a dental should help, and it's usually not that expensive-$100-$150 (around here).

I would suggest a trip to the vet as well. It could be a bad tooth. Tartar will make an odor too. I would have the vet check the mouth.

I've read that adding a small amount of freshly chopped parsley to your dog's food helps with bad breath.

If there is no problem at the vet try giving raw bones. They help alot with teeth and bad breath.

the only dog I ever had to have their teeth cleaned, is Femka. She never ate raw prior to coming to my house. Either its from a balence of calcium and phorphorus, or lack of additives- the fact is, none have ever had their teeth cleaned in 19 years. However- the only bones I use are poutry in base. The beef bones appear to be too hard, and I never feed them in any shape or form. Also- my dogs never have had "doggie or bad breathe". However- you can not feed any bone- cooked or raw if on a commercial ( kibble diet). This is potentially highly unsafe.. Kibble diets take longer to digest and the bones become hard, and do not digest normally. ..
