    |
|
Hi all
We have noticed that both our boys seem to have quite bad breath now. We noticed it with Smudge at first and Jester seems to have got worse too.
I'm just wondering if it's anything to do with their diet? They are both on Burns (the Venison one) and we never noticed it with either of them before the switch.
Their teeth appear to be in lovely condition <<<holds nose whilst inspecting them>>> but you just get this not very pleasant smell when they yawn!
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone offer any suggestions? Chris is convinced it is their food and is on about changing it but it suits them so well for everything else.
They purely eat Burns and nothing else (except if I leave anything out!).
All the best,
Nic

Amber's got quite fishy breath... urrgghh.. but have a feeling it might be the things she finds to eat on walks  would you try giving them dentastix or bonios (you can get mint flavour!!) to help their breath?

Hi Nic,
Ive not noticed Harvey and Charlie's breath smelling but they have the Lamb and Rice. We've not tried the venison. Hmm no too sure why its happening to them.
You need a survey on Burns venison eaters lol

Majic is on Burns Lamb & Rice and I haven't noticed any bad breath either.
May just be the Venison one.
