Alright, let’s talk about this dog breath thing, you know? That stink can knock you over sometimes, like a garbage truck on a hot summer day. So, we gotta figure out how to get them fresh breath drops for dogs, somethin’ that works, ya hear?
First off, I ain’t no fancy vet or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about keepin’ things clean. And a dog’s mouth? Lord, have mercy! It can be a mess. Just like them teeth of yourn, them dogs need somethin’ to clean ’em up.
- Brushing is good, they say. Yeah, right, like my old Buster would sit still for that! But if your dog’s a good boy or girl, maybe you can try. Get yourself one of them doggy toothbrushes and some toothpaste made for dogs. Don’t go usin’ your own stuff, it ain’t good for them.
- Chew toys can help too. Them tough ones, they gnaw on ’em and it scrapes some of that gunk off their teeth. Kinda like eatin’ an apple, I guess, cleans things out a bit. Pick somethin’ that won’t break into pieces though, we don’t want them chokin’ on it.
Now, about them fresh breath drops for dogs… there’s lots of stuff out there, makes your head spin. You gotta look for the good stuff, the kind that really works. Some of it just covers up the smell, like sprayin’ perfume on a dirty shirt, you know what I mean? We want somethin’ that gets rid of the stink, not just hides it.
I heard tell of somethin’ called the “VOHC Seal.” Sounds fancy, but it means that some smart folks tested the stuff and it actually works to clean them teeth. They say it helps get rid of that plaque, that sticky stuff on their teeth, and that tartar, the hard stuff that’s tough to get off. So, if you see that VOHC thing on the bottle, it might be worth a try.
There’s gels, too. I saw this thing, TropiClean Fresh Breath Advanced Whitening Clean Teeth Gel Kit. Sounded like a mouthful, but folks seem to like it. It’s like a toothpaste, I reckon, but you don’t gotta brush. You just put it on their teeth and it does its work. Might be easier for them dogs that don’t like that toothbrush in their mouth.
And then there’s them mints and gum. Now, for us folks, a mint can do the trick if you gotta talk close to someone. But for dogs? It’s just a quick fix, doesn’t solve the real problem. If you are in a pinch though, like takin’ the dog to see the preacher, you can use those Altoids mints or Eclipse gum to freshen their breath for a bit, you know, just for show. It won’t hurt but don’t be countin’ on it to make the problem go away for good.
But the best way, I reckon, is to keep them teeth clean all the time. Just like us, what goes in their mouth makes a difference. If they are eating soft slop all the time, that stuff sticks to their teeth and makes a mess. Give them some crunchy things to chew on. Carrots, celery, apples even, without them seeds of course. It’s like nature’s toothbrush, helps scrape that gunk off. And I heard tell of somethin’ called parsley, that curly kind. It’s got somethin’ in it, chlorophyll they call it, that helps with the smell too.
So, there you have it. Fresh breath drops for dogs ain’t the only answer. You gotta brush if you can, give ‘em chew toys, and watch what they eat. And when you do get those drops, make sure they’re the good kind, the ones that actually clean them teeth. Don’t just cover up the stink, get rid of it! And if the stink is real bad, and nothin’ helps, you might just have to bite the bullet and take them to the vet. Might be somethin’ more goin’ on than just bad breath.
And one last thing, keep them water bowls full and clean. Fresh water helps rinse out their mouth, just like it does for us. A clean mouth is a happy mouth, and a happy mouth don’t stink so bad. Now go on and take care of them doggies!
