How does dog food help with bad breath?

Dog food can help with bad breath in several ways. First, mechanical action from textured kibble helps remove plaque and tartar buildup to eliminate one of the main causes of bad breath. Second, certain bad breath dog foods contain ingredients like herbs or enzymes to help neutralize bad breath-causing bacteria and other stinky compounds. Finally, foods formulated with probiotics aid digestive health, eliminating a root cause of bad breath in many dogs.

What ingredients should I look for in food that helps lessen bad breath?

Ingredients to look for in foods for bad breath include odor-neutralizing botanicals like parsley, cinnamon, mint, or chlorophyll. Recipes with added probiotics can also help reduce odor by improving gut health, which plays an important role in breath freshness.

Is dog food for bad breath suitable for everyday feeding?

Dog food for bad breath should be suitable for everyday feeding, as long as it's a complete and balanced formula. Most bad breath dog food formulas are made to be nutritionally complete for daily use, but check the label to be sure. Ask your vet for recommendations on bad breath formulas that meet your dog's particular dietary needs.
