Your dog's breath is supposed to smell a little, well, doggy, right? Wrong.
Stinky breath isn't normal or healthy, and gum disease is an all-too-common
doggy ailment. Brushing every day is the best prevention. But choosing hard
food over soft can also help scrape your dog's teeth clean as he chews, and
it's less likely than soft food to get stuck between teeth. Chomping on chew
toys can also have a cleaning effect. If you're considering treats or food
formulated for oral health, ask your vet if any of the products would be
helpful.

你以為狗狗的呼吸總會有些味道的,但是錯了!呼吸時的臭味絕對不是正常的也不是
健康的。牙齒及牙齦的病變是很常見的狗狗疾病,最好的防護就是每天刷牙,除此
之選擇硬的食物也可以在他咀嚼幫助刮除牙齒上的髒東西,如果是軟質的食物就可
能會卡在牙縫之間。使用可以咬的玩具也能達到清潔效果。可以詢問獸醫關於口腔
健康的建議與配方。
(譯註:其實不一定硬的狗食就有效果,像我們家小黑吃東西都用吞的,即使買硬
的狗食也沒有咀嚼的效果,所以勤刷牙才是王道。如果要省錢的話,到西藥房買紗布
纏一小段在手指上面每天幫他擦牙齒就有不錯的效果,當然使用狗用牙膏的效果更好
。口腔出問題的話容易導致整個消化系統的問題,還有營養不良的問題,因此一定要
小心。當然帶去洗牙也是可以的,只是上了年紀的狗狗在麻醉上風險較高,因此趁年
輕時就要幫他把牙齒顧好,老年了才不會滿口爛牙。)
