My dog has no teeth and stinky breath. Anyone else have this problem?

...his bark really is worse than his bite ;-)

My uncle had that problem but now he has dentures and uses Listerine.
Reply:They probably rotted away. This can easily be prevented by feeding your dog dry food, providing bones and dental chews, and brushing the dog's teeth at least a couple times a week.
Reply:Sounds like severe malnutrition. Well-fed animals of any kind (including the human ones) won't have those problems. It's too late to save his teeth, but you can save the rest of him by putting him on a holistic diet - no by-products, no fillers, just good wholesome food. Solid Gold is an excellent food. There are many others as well. Go to a health food store or a pet supply store that sells holistic/organic foods. They will be able to help you find something to help your dog be healthier.
Reply:You should take him to the vet. His teeth probably rotted out and his gums are likely infected and what is stinking.





good luck!
Reply:They will if they feed their pooch nothing but human food or canned dog food.......





Dogs must eat hard kibbles(dry) to keep their gums healthy and teeth clean. Teeth that are not cleaned of food particles will cause a build up of tartar and plaque which leads to gum loss, which then causes Periodontal Disease (red, swollen, bleeding gums). Their teeth rot out and that causes the fowl odor (stinky breath).





Feed your canine dry dog food. Give them Greenies (treats that when chewed, help to pull food, plaque and tartar off of their teeth. And try brushing your hounds teeth. They have flavored toothpaste for dogs.





I realize your dog won't be able to eat dry food, but I want to warn you! Your dog's health could be in danger. Having Periodontal Disease allows all kinds of bacteria into the blood stream. Bacteria in the blood, travels through organs and could very well end up with serious health issues. Your dog may need a dental done at the Vet's office. I recommend having a blood panel done too. This will tell what is going on internally, if him/her is a healthy pooch.
