Let’s Talk Dog Breath…

My dog’s breath smells awful, what can I do ! ?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it a million times: health starts with what’s in the bowl!

The REAL cause of most dental issues is diet. This also means that a proper diet can promote a healthy mouth! Let’s kick the myth, kibble does not clean the teeth!

Most pet parents feed kibble. And while kibble is convenient and affordable, it presents all sorts of health problems for your dog.

In fact, the ingredients in kibble create more tartar build-up. Kibble is often high in carbohydrates (upwards of 40% of the recipe). Dogs aren’t designed for diets with this many carbohydrates. For one, they have minimal amounts of salivary amylase (an enzyme in saliva that breaks down ingested sugars or carbohydrates), so those high carbs are not broken down as they would in an omnivore.

As scavenger carnivores, a species-inappropriate diet like high-carbohydrate kibble can lead to chronic inflammation, which can then lead to diseases like pancreatitis and cancer.

So tartar buildup is just one of the many ways high levels of carbohydrates can cause problems for your dog.

So… how to help that stinky breath!?
