They make a solution for teeth and gum health that you just add to their water, but Pomeranians are prone to teeth problems and most end up having to have them removed if you don’t brush them regularly so you really should brush their teeth. You could try using a different kind of brush maybe, but also, just like brushing their coat or anything else they don’t like, for some of them it just takes repetition, routine, and patience, and eventually they become okay with it. If you do for very brief/short sessions for a little while (like 15 secs or just the front for the first week, then 30 secs or just the front +one side the following week,etc) over time you can gradually work towards doing the whole mouth, and it will save the Pom a lot of pain and problems in the future and save you a lot of money

Your dog likely desperately needs a dental. If the breath is that bad, probably teeth extractions. If bad teeth are left untreated, it WILL cause health problems and shorten your dog's life, not to mention that decayed teeth are painful.

Please take your dog to the vet.

Dehydration? Maybe dilute some electrolytes or broth and give plenty of water. I bought a portable water bottle I take every time we go outside (even for quick potty breaks). She enjoys drinking out of it just because she knows I have it, not because she necessarily needs it. Poms are also prone to teeth problems, so consulting with the vet wouldn't be a bad idea either.

You could get his teeth cleaned and then start using the tooth gel daily or twice daily to prevent it getting bad again. But if it smells its probably gum disease

If your dog’s breath smells to the point that it’s making you gag, he definitely needs a vet to look at and clean his teeth - under anaesthetic. There’s likely not only plaque on his teeth but plaque and bacteria under the gum, on the root. As someone else mentioned, there may be gum disease/gingivitis.

Greenies and home cleaning with a toothbrush, water additives, they probably won’t help at all at this stage.

It’s expensive, but it’ll help prevent future infection, rotten teeth, tooth loss and other systemic health issues in the future.

I got a little kit by tropiclean from PetSmart, and it comes with a dog toothbrush and a little hollow brush tip type thing that just slips over your finger, at first mine didn’t like the dog toothbrush and it was a little awkward to figure out how to brush someone else’s teeth much less a dogs cause they squirm and their mouth is shaped different and it’s a different angle than when you brush your own teeth, so I used the finger tool first, and I let him sniff it and bite down on it and just check it out and then rubbed it around a bit and after a little over a week he got more comfortable and patient and I switched to the full dog toothbrush

Just to flag, there could be other issues causing smelly breath, eg kidney issues. I strongly recommend getting some bloods run at the vet alongside getting a dental check

Go to the vet to check, especially if this is new, but it could just be how she is. My poodle/schnauzer has really bad breath, always has. He had a few teeth pulled but it’s still bad. Vet says everything is fine he just has stinky breath. Changed foods, brush his teeth more often, keep his face hair clean, it helps some but his breath is by far the worst of all our dogs past and present.

She needs a dental, you could brush her teeth a few times a week.

Ask you vet. That kind of stink means infection or decaying tissue.

I’m currently using Chlorohexadine mouth wash cat safe for my boy and plaque off which you sprinkle over the food. It’s definitely helping the bad breath but the gingivitis is still bad. I was brushing his teeth but he really dislikes it and hurts me alot. He still even hates when I put the mouthwash on his gum and teeth and poops and pees himself :(

Vet.

Get the poor animal to the vet and get it sorted.

That’s sweet ig but take them to the vet please

I’m glad it’s not just me 😂 it is so comforting

Dental disease is a serious thing that can have many other consequences, including shortening your beloved stank breaths life. Time for a dental prophy and examination.

A better diet for the dog.

If you're feeding them food that has ash and byproduct in it their mouth is acting as a sewer gate to the festering contents of their stomach.

Trust me, with olfactory systems of suc a level, dogs hate your breath even MORE.

Stop kissing dogs.

Brush the dog’s teeth. Sounds simple, but takes a willing dog. Rope chew toys and dental treats help a bit, too.

Editing to add that I am no dog expert and am not a vet. I am owned by a Aussie x Great Pyrenees that is likely much more clever than I will ever be.

Start smoking. I can’t smell a thing

Brush his teeth nightly. Better for him, cheaper for you.

Salt water will stop the bleeding.

After one of my pups had a $700 extraction/cleaning, I started brushing their teeth.

Best decision I made for them.

It’s normal - dogs get plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth just like we do. It’s not a huge concern - your vet will recommend a cleaning when they think your dog needs one. Brushing their teeth daily is recommended. Bones and various chews can also help clean their teeth

It's dental calculus. Needs to be removed at some time. Or he could lose teeth. Same issue with my dog at the moment. She eats raw food. At times I gave her bones she could chew but since she refuse to chew bones it's getting worse. she will get some professional tooth cleaning at the vet in a few weeks. Some dogs get this easy some not. You can brush the teeth of your dog to slow down the dental calculus.

Its normal plaque but it does seem a bit young for it to be setting in.

Treats for chewing will minimize it. There's also products like plaque-off (other cheaper products are available) that just get a tiny sprinkle on their food and work wonders.

I know in the UK you can only get proper dental cleaning if they use anaesthetic to put the dog under, so vets are typically loathe to do it unless they going under for another procedure or its really bad ... which this isn't.

I’d probably ask r/AskVet instead you might get better advice there

Your dogs diet can affect it's breath too.

There are enzymatic sprays and powders you can use in conjunction with brushing, or on their own. Work your way up to daily care. It's a long process and you're working with bad teeth and a small mouth so the challenge is greater than say, a young retriever for example. Don't expect overnight results.

Are you brushing daily with an enzymatic toothpaste? If her teeth are bad enough already though that won't help much.

My dog had bad teeth when we adopted him but I still brush every other day and give him dental bones. It's past repair just for brushing but I can still keep them as clean as possible. At the pet store I've seen mouth sprays and other things you can do quickly to freshen breath and help plaque.

Talk to your vet about different anesthesia. I had a dog who nearly passed the two times I put him under. I didnt put him out again for almost 10 years. I went to a different vet when he was older to get some teeth pulled. They used a milder anesthesia and he had no issues. It was 2 shots, 1 to put him out and a 2nd to reverse the anesthesia & wake him up.

I have. Took a lot but I’m confident now and not depressed

Tonsils stones make my breath worst but It’s not the reason

https://www.reddit.com/r/badbreath/comments/13ce3nm/do_miracles_happen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’ve seen a lot of posts from people claiming getting their tonsils removed cured them. I’m almost 100% sure it’s a big reason for my bb. I’m getting mine removed in September. I’ll keep you updated once that happens. At times I’ve noticed my son also has bb but it’s not constant. If he brushes his teeth and tongue he’s good. Either way getting tonsils removed should be considered if dealing with tonsil stones cause those things smell horrible

There probably are and most of them are probably not here to reply you anymore.

It’s calculus due to inadequate brushing, pushing on the gums and causing them to recede.

The only thing you can do at this point is schedule a cleaning with dentist or hygienist. Then work on brushing afterwards to prevent it happening again and further recession

Title: Need an opinion on how bad this is, and how to treat it.

Full text: My teeth have always been fairly healthy and while my dental health is not the most scheduled, I try to brush as regularly as I can. I've been having these form in those two particular teeth (and somehow nowhere else), and was wondering what in particular it might be and how to deal with it.

In fact most dog lovers in my experience are lower income only like small shopkeepers, security guards, delivery drivers, construction workers, maids etc.

Whenever a dog needs help with injury or medicine, they are the first to help.

Rich people just get foreign breeds to show off

Yup. And so many of these haters are the ones who “own a car and never walk on the streets”. Lol. Was literally fighting with one on a different post who said “I don’t walk. I have a car. But I am fighting for the ones who walk”. LMFAO. I told him to get the fuck off his elitist high horse and walk on the streets first. Before complaining about how the “dogs make life menace for people walking on the streets”. Garbage people.

The animal lovers are the ones actually protesting, rescuing, feeding out of their own pockets, and still getting spit on by the haters. Meanwhile, the haters sit on their couches typing abuse, pretending to care about “real issues,” but never once standing up or protesting for anything themselves. Absolute hypocrites.

If anyone needs to be put into shelters then it is animal haters. They are mostly pro Government but when we started protesting over this - they started being like why no protests over x, y and z? Like mfkers, even if we were to go and protest against these issues you guys will go and vote for this government and bring them back in power. Even after so much protests SC’s judgment seems to be favourable for animal haters rather than animals.

And then there are those who may not be pro government but want us to go out and protests over x, y and z. Like inko abhi protest bhi spoon fed chahiye? Do they want us to go their homes and personally invite them for protests? Why can’t they carry out their own? Are they so dumb that they can’t even do this much on their own?

All in all, all animal haters should be put into shelters and I don’t mind paying for it either. At least other humans and animals can stay safe

Unaware of their own thought process.
