I am not a nutritionist, so I always purchase a good quality manufactured pet food as the basic food source (not any of the popular brands found in supermarkets, even those touted as healthy or natural or "top of the line" --rather, purchase from select pet stores--likely not any of the box pet stores--which stock foods having only healthy ingredients. My pets "brush" their teeth by eating raw, not cooked, beef/chicken/rabbit/etc., meats on the bone. Chewing raw--not cooked--bones is nature's natural toothbrush. As a result of good eating and food habits, your pet's breath should be fresh, they should pass no gas, and their stools will not be horrendous smelling." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=RN_34860 /Pets/bad_breath.rss3 Sat, 14 Nov 09 11:42:17 -0600 Evie from Torrance, Ca writes: "My 12 year old cat has really bad breath and her teeth have gotten bad with age. I noticed that she is drooling lately. She was a ferrel cat and is still skittish. I tried to look in her mouth to see what was going on but she would not let me. She hates the vet and has major anxiety when I try to put her in her carrying case. Do you have any recommendations to help her?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=RN_24360 /Pets/bad_breath.rss4 Mon, 23 Mar 09 00:00:00 -0500 Bridget from Hull, UK writes: "Hi I have just found his website and would really like some advice from all you guys - I have a 14 1/2 year old jack russell cross who was originally a rescue dog. She used to have the sweetest breath but now it is simply awful due to her bad teeth. she has never been fed on sweet things by us in the last 10 years or so since we had her - but now she has teeth covered with plaque and it is effecting her gums. The vet won't do anything about it manually because of her age and she has a heart murmour. She is very fit and exercised well daily and is very perky but I know her teeth bother her because she does this displacement thing of licking her front legs when they hurt and sometimes she drops the ball she's carry during a game of ball and I can see that her mouth is paining her. Any ideas at all? I wondered about anything homeopathic - or would apple cider vinegar help do you think?" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=GRAPEFRUITSEEDEXTRACT_23124 /Pets/bad_breath.rss5 Tue, 24 Feb 09 00:00:00 -0600 Diane from Saratoga Springs, New york writes: "What is carmal extract?

I surfed the net for toxic plants and food for cats. At least three websites posted the same thing: garlic, onion, chocolate, raisins, among other very common food ingredient... were said to be poisonous to cats - they may not be for dogs, but accordingly, garlic for instance kills red blood cells in cats if I remember right... and since cats are different in that they have very slow metabolism, the bad effects would not quickly manifest. ...good for humans but never for cats!!!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=TOOTHPASTE_19129 /Pets/bad_breath.rss7 Sun, 23 Nov 08 00:00:00 -0600 [YEA] Crystal from Beaverton, Oregon writes: "Hello all I have had many dog's. I even had a litter if 6 puppies. The best thing that I found is brushing my dog's teeth with childrens toothpaste with my kids old tooth brushes. The dog's love the taste and I love the smell!!! Must brush once a week if not more. The vet say's they have perfect condition teeth too. Bad breath is just a tad of kids tooth paste away you really don't need very much." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=HYDROGENPEROXIDE_11364 /Pets/bad_breath.rss8 Mon, 24 Mar 08 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Dorothy from Valley Glen, California writes: "Our eight-year-old Jack Russell Terrier had very bad breath and ugly black-stain teeth for most of her life. We tried everything, chopping parsley and adding it to her food, brushing her teeth with pet toothpaste, Greenies which gave her hemorrhoids, tried getting the Vet to clean her teeth but he never did, and everything we tried, failed. That is until I tried a drop of hydrogen peroxide. Now I\'ve gradually worked up to adding an eye-dropper full (5-8 drops) to her water bowls daily, and her breath and teeth have improved much to our amazement. Her black teeth are now pure white, her breath is fresh and she seems to have a lot of new energy. Now I\'m ready to give it a try myself for my arthritis." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/bad_breath.html&name=GRAPEFRUITSEEDEXTRACT_11365 /Pets/bad_breath.rss9 Thu, 06 Jul 06 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Alan from writes: "We use: Grapefruit seed Extract. H20, carmal extract, xylotol for sweetness -- found in sugar free gums. A solution of 20 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract with 10oz. H20 and carmel extract for taste has cured incoming dogs to the pet rescue of bad breath and tarter build up. This took about 2 days of having it sprayed into the mouth for bad breath and a week to notice loss of tarter. Daily maintenace of 4 drops in water also showed a reduction in weight in our heavier dogs. Give chew toys or carrots to dogs during this time to assist with the cleaning process. GSE is an excellent anti bacterial element and has many uses for people and pets. Great for raising the pets PH level as well."
