    Anything – mint, coriander, basil…

    …anything that would make her breath smell better than the complete funk she’s breathing at the moment 😡

    I know some dog food has herbs in it, I can’t imagine it hurting the dog – in moderation.

    I’m about to force-feed her coriander in a minute.

    Poor thing was a wee bit sick in the night and this morning – and of course being such an intelligent animal, she immediately ate it – Ugh!

    Doesn’t seem to be a problem for Brian, He will eat everything from ice cubes to bananas. Herbs shouldn’t be an issue. He did eat a frog once, he didn’t like that or the slugs he ate…

    I don’t know if this works on dogs, but if my cat has smelley breath I get her teeth checked.

    As above, get her teeth checked or it could be something more serious if it’s been going on for a while.

    As for herbs and food in general, our previous dog ate most things pretty much like a human. When giving her something, we would think; would this make me ill?

    Our dogs breath smells when he needs to go out. Worth a go ? As above, a change of diet try these ? as suggested a dental checkup may help.

    Ah, she’s only a puppy. My OP was sort of in jest – she’ll be reet tomorrow I reckon. She’s only just got her new teeth – bright and shiny white they are 🙂

    Dogs and humans metabolisms are different tho – hence the chocolate thing. They can’t metabolise theobromine.

    Herbs have a lot of complex chemicals in them for all those strong tastes and smells, so I’d avoid tbh.

    Mrs Grips’s folks have this kind of mouthwash they put in their dog’s water. The dog doesn’t like it much but will drink it eventually, and it works.

    She managed a few mouthfuls of horseshit yesterday before we caught her 🙄

    Now…where did I put the mint 🙂

    You don’t want them eating slugs or snails… For a start, it’s disgusting, but it can also mean lungworm for the poor things. My mum’s flatcoat just got over a bout of it… Not fun.

    As for smelly breath, my Springer has a thing for cat poo. Not pleasant at all, in the slightest. Nothing can get rid off the smell.

    Mate of mine’s dog has a thing for broccoli, he goes absolutely mental for the stuff.

    His breath isn’t the immediate problem afterwards…

    Seriously, share a room with a giant Schnauser who’s been troughing a pile of gravy-soaked broccoli, you’ll never complain about puppy breath again.
