Why do dogs have bad breath?

   Mainly because their humans do not take care of their teeth. Some dogs do not like humans because of the way they were treated earlier.

   Many people brush their dogs and cats teeth and that helps. Also, it it’s really bad have the vet clean and get the tartar off the teeth.

   They have bad breath cuz they don’t brush their teeth.I think alot of a dogs behavior depends on who raised him.

   It’s from the build up of plaque and tartar on their teeth – plus they smelly food. People are the same way.

   Dogs are not necessarily all trained properly. Some are trained to be aggressive to people as guard dogs or police dogs. Humans are not always nice to dogs either.

   Bad breath in dogs is the same as bad breath in humans – poor nutrition and poor dental hygiene. Improve both and the breath will improve.

   Dogs are nice to humans when humans are nice to dogs. Be kind, friendly, and take care of their needs and they will love you.

    Not all dogs have bad breath. If a dog has bead breath it could be a sign of a digestive disorder or a dental problem (such as an infected or decaying tooth).

    The reason that dogs are not always nice to humans is because humans are not always nice to dogs.

    in my opinion, dogs are not nice to humans because they have been abused and/or have a 6th sense that the humans are not kewl. for example, my dog knows when people dont like dogs and she barks at them. if its someone who likes dogs then she is ready to play. they have bad breath because their teeth need cleaning and they lick their butt etc. lol
