Hey Mercy, these are great tips for reducing smelly mouth odours most of our dogs produce.
I remember our dog having terrible breath odours – bless her, but no one 20 years ago recommended solutions like your blog suggests. Common sense really however I can imagine most of these will work wonders, especially mixing carrots & coconut oil in with food further to squeezing lemon juice into water.
I read another remedy the other day suggesting to add the odd mint leaf into the dogs water bowl, this works with great results too but the advice was to introduce a leaf first then keep adding additional leaves over time to get the dog used to the taste, alike parsley I suppose.
Thanks again for the tips,
Simon.

Good Morning Mercy,
First of all, I love the photo of that dog having fun on the beach. So sad that a lot of people keep their fur friends in a small apartment to be taken out on a couple of short walks a day.
Cindy, my Rottweiler lady of 12 years, has it nice as she lives on a farm in the south of Spain. She can do what she wants and run around as there is space enough.
As she is so old she has a couple of issues which I treat with natural things. I recently read that vitamin D3 helps against cancer so she gets 10.000 IU a day. I also give her a soupspoon of coconut oil which I take myself too. Therefore she has no bad breath. I am very happy about that as I have a very sensitive nose.
I know from other dogs I had that bad breath can be quite awful besides indicating some problem for the dog. That is why your article comes in so handy.
Regards, Taetske

I can definitely vouch for coconut oil. My spaniel loves the stuff and it does a good job of controlling his smelly breath.
