Pets Bad Breath
Here's what you can do to effectively get rid of or reduce dog bad breath
Dogs with bad breath can keep you from being close to the dogs you love. Halitosis, or bad breath, is an unpleasant odor coming from your dog's mouth. But bad dog breath can also be a symptom of a more serious problem. It is estimated that 80 percent of dogs the age of three suffer from periodontal disease — a serious deterioration of the gums and supporting bonesof the teeth. Left unchecked, the resulting bacteria can enter the dog's bloodstream,causing infection or damage to vital organs such as the kidneys, lungs, heart or liver. That’s why dog bad breath has been the called the "Silent Killer of Pets." Proper pet oral health may extend the life of your dog by two to five years.
Usually Bad Breath or Halitosis has oral causes, although sometimes it can be caused by other disease processes.
Dog Dental Care Tips
Dog dental care tips Proper Diet:
From an early age, dogs should mainly be served dry foods. Dry food provides a crunchy, firm texture that aids in the reduction or removal of bacterial plaque.
In addition, the crunchy texture stimulates the gums to help prevent gum disease.
Cat Dental Care Tips
Cat dental care tips:
Some cats are more prone to plaque buildup than others. Some never need dental care, others need to have their teeth cleaned at regular intervals. Many vets encourage you to bring your cat in annually for teeth cleaning, using a general anesthetic.
If your vet cleans your cat's teeth, see if your vet is willing to try a mild sedative (rather than putting the cat under entirely) first when cleaning the teeth.
If your cat is an older cat and it must be put under, see if the vet will use a gas anesthesia rather than an injected form.

Physical examinations, dental care, oral health and a variety of other medical services are provided during the examinations. Large animals such as bears and tigers and small animals such as monkeys and pot bellied pigs are examined and treated.
Early detection of oral disease or other medical problems in exotic animals is vital to ensuring quality health and dental care. Most exotic animals conceal signs of illness because predators prefer to single out weaker animals for an easier kill. Many exotic animals are so adept at concealing these signs, that illnesses may not be detected until the disease is in the late stages of progression or worse. Regular dental care is essential with exotic animals to help with long-term health.
