Breath?

[Mark]

My dachsie's breath is like . . .

For those with more than one dachsie (or dog) . . . multiple votes are allowed at a time.

[TessieMom]

Other: Dog food most of the time for all 5 except my senior foster boy who likes to clean up the yard behind everyone else and his breath will knock you over after he has been picking up dachsie waste. Yuck!!!

[lauraleeno]

tootsie's breath smells like puppy breath which I think smells wonderful. i love puppy's breath:dog:

[Brenda]

Ruffies breath is a mix of raw sewage and stinky socks. Had him to the vet and he said that all is fine. Just recently started to give him doggie breath mints and they are helping..., also have to make a point to brush his point little fangs more often.

[dox_no3]

Bugsy's breath is much better since I started brushing his teeth daily with dog paste and that rubber finger thingy. Now, it smell like the last toy he's been playing with.

On a side note, for some reason his coat/body has a faint cinnamony smell like homemade baking. Not complaining though!

[Belle71901]

My puppy's breath smells like a puppy. after she eats it smells like her food.

[twodoxielover]

Both Peanuts and Bear have foul breath, but Bear we put up with as he was our puppy mill baby and we feel all he ate was puppy chow all his 8 years and vet says he needs all his teeth pulled

[Lillie's Mama]

I chose other. Lillie's breath usually smells like food, treats, or just straight nasty!! :rofl:

[Pandawags]

Is there a "Gag me" cetegory? :D
Panda's is horrible. She about knocks
me over some days.

[Mia's Mom]

Mia's breath smells like a clean puppy or like her food, depending on how long it has been since she ate.

[Jenn]

charlie has never had a breath problem, well he did have the puppy breath as a puppy and that did not bother me. now on the other hand my mom's part terrier/chiauaha mix, Boo Boo, his breath is so ranknasty, that if he is in ur lap and he yawns....it will make u heave big time!! and we have tried everything for him and nothing works!

[maddoxies]

Butt breath in our household.

I have found a great solution that you add to their drinking water and it does help a lot (when I remember it).

Both my guys had their teeth cleaned and it did not help the butt breath. One eats Nutro and one eats Wellness, so it is not the food either. I think it is just a "doxie" thing. My golden's breath was never this bad.

[Cocoa and Me]

Well...I think it depends on if she had that urge to eat a doxie made tootsie roll...or was a good little :angel: and waited until mommy disposed of her tootsie roll :rofl:

[SirOliversMom]

Oliver's breath is generally pretty good..good for a doxie that is. Tammy's breath depends on what she's eaten...UGH or if she's been sleeping. She has nasty morning breath! Phew!

[abiose]

Lucie has a bad reputation for her *ewwww* breath around here :yuck:
I brush her teeth often, she chews a lot natural bones, chew toys... has tones of mint treats (talk to me breath fresheners and Yip Yap) but niah... she still stink but only after she wakes up from night or naps :sotired:

Beware the awakening of the Lucie :eekdevil:

[MicheleS]

Sophie's breath is :yuck: :headache: no matter how often her teth are cleaned and how many doggie mints she has had. Sometimes the breath mints work for about 10 mins, but that's it.

[Lee]

Mostly it smells like puppy---with a little peanut butter thrown in for treats. Yummy peanut butter:party6:

[beausmom1]

We may not be so lucky in the training department--but as for breath, I must admit I would let Beau kiss me anytime! He has really good breath (for someone who eats dog food) haha.

[Sabrina]

Zeus' breath definately smells like raw sewage. He gives -lots- of very stinky kisses:D

[Joyce]

Most of the time Dexters breath is ok, but I wouldn't go as far as to say fresh as flowers. :rofl:

[goldie]

I put Other .... Olana's breath has the tendency to smell like a tuna fush can for some reason. And she has never even seen tuna fish or a tuna fish can. It's stinky!

[Heide]

vote for raw sewage. :sorry: :sorry: :sorry: :blush: I tried some stuff one time from the pet store, for their breath....didnt work

[Elrial]

Alex still has puppy breath!
:hearts:

[Schatz's Mom]

Kipper is my poo eater so his definitely smells like raw sewage if he has had a snack. Schatz's was fine until he started scavenging the yard for rabbits and squirrels! Now it has a distinct smell but I have no idea how to describe it!

Note: I read on a raw feeding forum that feeding pineapple to the pups will stop poo eating. The enzymes in pineapple are supposed to really taste bad on the way out! I started two days ago and have not seen Kip have a snack yet! I'm crossing my fingers on this one! :crsfnger: All three love their new treat!

[doxunzX3]

I sure hope that works. If not the doxies will just all have a nice treat. That is if I don't eat it all myself first. I love pineapple when it is fresh. If it can get them to stop the poo snacks it will be worth every penny. Then I won't be embarrassed when they give others kisses. (Ewwwww they are poop eater'z.)
I had just decided not to go anywhere or do much today. But now I gottttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaa get some pineapple now. :thanx:

[Susa]

I said damp basement. LOL

[Doxie_88]

To be honest, I've never met a Dachshund (or any other small breed for that matter) that didn't have absolutely awful breath as they age. Tia's isn't as horrible as some small dogs, but it's not pleasant either. Seems the bigger the dog, the better the breath and the smaller the dog, the more disgusting the breath. Tia's breath confuses me really though, as it smells horrible but her teeth are as white as can be and she's 7 years old almost.

[Annie's Mom]

Dachshunds are known for bad teeth. When Annie was 5, we noticed that her breath became seriously toxic, and I brought her into the vet to have her teeth cleaned. Sure enough, they had to remove a tooth in addition to cleaning the tartar off the rest.

Her breath has been very sweet for the past six months, although as time goes on, it's started to degrade. I know I should brush them for her... When it gets noticeably bad, I'll take her in and get the teeth cleaned again.

[NICOLE1590]

kane still has his puppy breath !!

[marthooo]

Cathy's reply made me LAUGH so hard the dachsies all looked at me! It's different for all of them--and I DO brush their teeth once a week. Arnie's is pretty innocuous. Ludie's is also fairly unnoticeable. Dieter's can reach you across the room. Gunther's is a "hold your breath" for a while proposition. I think Gunther is still working out his digestive track.
But I really wonder what my breath smells like to them...
Smell is a really funny thing, isn't it? Gosh, this morning the guy who cuts my hair used some hairspray on it and it took me RIGHT BACK to 1992--and sure enough, same brand hairspray!!! Smell is, perhaps, underrated!!!

[marthooo]

Schat's mom---thank you thank you for the idea about pineapple--our dachies don't eat poo, but our lab mix gal does--YUCKKKKKKKK---and I'm going out to get some pineapple in the morning!!!!

[Lambygyrl]

Scooter has sweet puppy breath !!! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: And in the morning he has morning breath just like hooomans :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

[7dachsmom]

Bad enough if they breath next to the wall the paint peels.:D or if they breath across the hardwood floors they shed the polyurethane off it:D

[karob]

OMG -- my two older ones (and all my fault) have halitosis out the wazoo -- it certainly smells like it's coming out of the wazoo!!!

All about teeth and gum health .... I know! working on the young one's habits (he's all of 1 year and 1 month!!! - and well travelled too... all three made it just FINE from Germany.... and now we are on a trek from Dallas to Seattle in a Ford F150 extra cab!) .... he seems to be okay with the brushing.

hope all is well with everyone... we are sporadic on the internet, and I'm sometimes on German time, sometimes on Central, soon to be Pacific ---- we are all wonky!

Amy

[oti'smom]

I always tell Otis he has "portapotty breath." I hope I'm not hurting his feelings. Of course, he would probably take it as a compliment!

[Paul Coover]

Well, I have heard from others that Our gang has some very nasty breath, but I do not know for myself.

I have a condition with my olfactory nerves that makes me unable to smell things, or almost unable. I f I try really hard, and the smell is really strong, I can smell things just a little. I guess it's a little weird, but that's me!

It is a blessing in disguise I guess. I can't smell the poop and pee from our gang! But, because of that, I am always the one who has to clean it, because my wife CAN smell it!

Oh well...

[Petey's Mom]

I just had to add to this one: Petey has zero breath odor...but Chief...OMG...I call him Chief Halitosis :D He wants SO badly to give me mouth kisses, but dang..I just can't do it. He's getting a dental as soon as I scrape up the money.

[longtimecouple1]

Coco's breath usually smells of fresh beef. :puppy: He loves his marrow bones, and with his teething, they are a good source of chewing for him right now.
Eileen

[kristawing]

Hubby says he smells like fish.
Kids say cat food.
I used to get cat poo

[Ellie]

Tuckers breath is so bad that if he licks me under my nose I'll have to wash my face or smell it all day. Buffy's isn't bad at all. Just normal food breath. Sweet little kisses.

[girlandetc]

britten doesn't have bad breath at all. sometimes after treats or chewies he will smell a bit livery or dogfoody, but otherwise no smell. he gives the best kissies :)

(although i have to admit after getting into and eating a bunch of his fish oil capsules the other day he smells slightly fishy hahhaha)

[Petey's Mom]

Petey's breath has no odor at all. Chief, however.....GAG!!! His breath smells like...yeah..raw sewage :icon8: He desperately needs a dental, as soon as I have the $$$ to get it done. I bought some Breath Busters dog biscuits, but my son commented that they only make Chief's breath smell like minty butt :D

Has anyone tried those breath drops you put in the water bowl? And would those be ok for the cat, as he drinks out of the same water bowl as the dogs???

[stacicakes]

I voted other...it's usually not too bad but sometimes it smells like fish breath :sick012: !

[2tweenies]

Frankies breath is not too bad but Oscar has an unual copper or metalic smell......wierd.....

[catstamm]

I noticed a lot of pups w/ bad breath....If your dog has fowl breath it's time to get them to the vet for a dental or blood work.....
Dogs don't have breath like flowers :) but it shouldn't be fowl either...

[LoriZ]

i had to put other...it smells something climbed up in his mouth and died a few weeks ago lol

[LoriZ]

Its not anything medical his teeth are very healthy its just stinky

[ems736336]

Generally they smell like whatever was the last thing eaten be it worms or dirt or sticks or dog food or who knows what?

[EdieBird]

For now, GingerSnap has puppy breath. I'm trying to teach her to let me brush her teeth so she doesn't end up with Death Breath when she grows up.

My Shepherd just has a general "doggy" smell to his breath now, but back in January he had to have a dental and had four teeth pulled after a sudden onset of Death Breath...smelled like he'd been eating rotted corpses or something. The fact that is was sudden prompted me to have senior bloodwork done, too, just in case it wasn't his teeth that caused it. Fortunately it was just the teeth, and now he's letting me brush the rest of them a little, but he's sort of iffy about the whole process. At least he doesn't just want to chew on the toothbrush!

[Girrl's mom]

Butt breath in our household.

I have found a great solution that you add to their drinking water and it does help a lot (when I remember it).

What kind did you get? I got some green stuff and my dog would not drink it until she had to and then she'd only take small sips.

[nissy65]

Cocoa actually has nice breath..like her mint toothpaste I get her at Petsmart... Kiki on the other hand has stinky breath..it isn't nasty just not minty!!

[vferraro99]

I had to multiple vote, as I have 4. Jewels and Bambi's breath now is not exactly flower smelling, but not damp basement either... thank God. Tinha's is the raw sewage one, maybe because she takes so much medication. Sammy's breath smells like food all of the time :0210:

[jzutis]

I would say more like low tide...:sick: but, sometimes like vanilla raw hide:coolthmb:.

[stefle]

Beanie's smells like...this is gross..puss. She just had a dental a week or 2 ago. Hoping it gets better with time. I call her "stinky breath mcgee." I have no idea why. I call the bf that too.

[loveisxblind]

Riley has puppy breath!

[doxiemommy3]

Well lets see,

Speedy has a sticky sock smell most of the time

Cowboy--OMG has the worst it smells all the time it smells like rotten dead something ewwwww

Kenna- always smells like the last thing she had to eat, a lot of the times kids snacks that they drop. carrots apples, and fruit snacks....ohhh and Twizzlers

Kleo---smells like cookies (not sure why but it really smells like cookies) either she has cookies hidden around the house or somthing

Girtty---smells like POO half of the time (because she will pick up one of Speedys speed bumps he dropped and eat it) and other times it smells like old wet basement

[DachsieLVR]

Leyna - just bad bad bad. Blecchh!! I know I need to brush her teeth more. I'm a bad mom.:oops:

Eli - Ew ew ew!! He's a poop muncher, as I'm seeing that other Weenies are. :faint: I can control it at home, but the girls at our doggie daycare just aren't fast enough sometimes! Poor girls.

I do give them CET Dental chews. It helps considerably with tartar, but not with their breath.

[PetMother]

Macy has really fresh breath! Getting her used to teeth brushing. Sammy on the other had has nasty breath! Trying to get him used to teeth brushing, but its kinda hard because the pet store didn't do it when he was there. :banghead:

[Frankiesmom]

Frankie's breath is fowl. Smells good for a day or two after we brush, but then goes right back to stinkin'! :pull_hair: Frankie is not neutered yet, and has a little bit of pee-pee crust around the tip of his penis and is always licking it. :faint:I always thought his breath stunk because of that! But I love him anyway, I always tease him and tell him, "It's a good thing your cute!":sillylove:

[Hannalei]

I chose other..

I'm simply not sure. It's a mix of grass & butt flavorhttp://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c180/vintagekitti/fart.gif with a hint of rawhide chewy that she seems to adore lately.

[Caidanbi]

Umm, I picked other. Ringo's breath is normally not so bad, but when his allergies are bad it gets pretty nasty because of all the drainage. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but it's just rotty :P
