Puppy with bad breath

[MyDogIsNutz]

My 5 month old cocker spaniel (Chloe) is teething at the moment and her breath ronks!! IS this normal when teething? Apart from that she eats well, sleeps well, plays well everything else well really, its just her breath could peel paint......

Teething can cause bad breath which is common. If it's really, really terrible, you may want to take her in and make sure she doesn't have something else wrong.

We once had an older dog come in with terrible breath. The vet thought it was just poor dental hygiene and time for a teeth cleaning. When the dog was put under and the mouth opened, we discovered a small stick lodged in the roof of his mouth. There was a horrendous infection that was causing the foul odor :yikes:

Thanks showpug - so if its teething (which i think is most likely) how long does it usually last??

Dogs generally have all their adult teeth by 8 months.

Daisy's breath has not smelled like daisys for a couple weeks now too. She's got hardly any pup teeth left and a bunch of adult ones coming in.
