Get Rid Of Fido’s Bad Breath
Yeah! Our doggies don’t have bad breath any more. We heard about this Pet Oral Hygiene Solution from a friend who’s a new Oxyfresh distributor. The stuff really works.
Since we have four (don’t ask) dogs, three of which are true lap dogs, their bad breath was a BIG problem in our house. The three small dogs also sleep with us, and we were constantly putting them back at the foot of the bed to keep from being offended in the middle of the night. Now we actually like for them to snuggle with us. Whenever we come home they jump up to greet us, especially when we’ve been on a trip; they’re not satisfied till they can give us a “kiss”. This used to be a turn-off for us, but now we think it’s sweet. My husband says I should be as glad to see him as they are, but that’s another story altogether.
I checked out this product before buying it from Chris. According to comments from other customers, veterinarians and groomers, it not only works great, it’s easy to use and their clients love it. I can add my “Amen” to their testimonials. Once a day when I change their water bowls, I just add a little to the water. So easy, and I’ve noticed their bowls don’t get slimy like they used to. I told my friends about the Pet OHS and now they order it for their dogs.
Oxyfresh also points out that the Pet OHS really helps keep our pets’ (dogs, cats, ferrets, etc) mouths cleaner, which helps their teeth and gums stay cleaner and healthier. And they use natural ingredients, don’t do any animal testing and it’s completely safe. According to what I’ve read, the active ingredient is de-activated once it hits the stomach; something to do with the Ph level of the stomach being a lot different than the level in the mouth.
Oxyfresh also makes dental products for us, which I absolutely couldn’t do without. They taste good, have no strong flavors and no alcohol, and they last much longer than products from the local stores. The rinse doesn’t just cover up my bad breath, making it smell “minty fresh” or like some weird medicine. It actually makes it smell fresh. I also have dry mouth, and the rinse really helps with that.
Anyway, if you want to try it, here’s what I do: I just go to my friend’s website and order. Here’s the link: Chris’ Oxyfresh site. You can also call them at (800) 333-7374, but be sure to mention his name, Chris O’Kelley. It helps him out, which he needs right now.

Dog Bad Breath
Since you dog has no way of telling you that is has a toothache, dog owners must take care to look after the dental health of their dog. An untreated tooth infection can lead to very serious problems with your pets\’ vital organs.
You dog\’s diet has a real impact on their dental health. Dog food and treats which are fortified and made specifically to keep your dogs\’ teeth in good shape are a healthy choice for your pet. While you can have your dogs\’ teeth cleaned by your vet, this is very expensive and since your dog must be anesthetized for this to be done, can actually be dangerous for your pet! Professional cleaning should only be done in extreme cases.
With some patience, you can train your dog to accept tooth brushing. Adult dogs and puppies can both be trained by starting with your finger and some peanut butter.
As your pet licks your finger and the peanut butter, begin rubbing the teeth and gums while offering plenty of praise. After a day or so of this, or as soon as your dog begins accepting this new process, use a piece of gauze wrapped around your finger and do the same thing as above. Rub the gauze around the teeth and gums using a circular motion as you would with the toothbrush. Once they are used to this, it\’s time to introduce them to the real thing.
You should not use toothpaste which is made for humans, as this will cause your dog to have an upset stomach. There is toothpaste designed for dogs which have a taste and smell which appeal to your pet. Let your dog lick a little off of the brush and then add more and start brushing.
Lift the sides of your dog\’s gums so you can access their upper teeth, aptly called the canines, and hold the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle for the best results. This allows you to clean the gum line as well as the teeth to keep the gums equally as healthy. Brushing two to three teeth at a time, brush in a circular motion anywhere from eight to ten times or so in order to get each area clean. A dog\’s upper back teeth tend to be the most susceptible to decay and periodontal disease, so if anything, focus your efforts there first.
Make dog teeth cleaning a happy occasion for your dog. Keep low key to prevent your dog from getting too excited to hold still. You should only need abut a minute to get your dogs\’ teeth clean and make sure that they stay healthy and happy.
