Look in his mouth and make sure there isn't any food stuck in between the teeth and make sure the teeth look white and the gums look pink and healthy.





If those look okay, it could be something he ate.





You can try brushing his teeth with a dog toothbrush and paste that you can get at the pet store.





If you are concerned about it, see a vet.
Reply:Have you been to the vet? Sounds like his diet may not be the best. Your not feeding him Salmon, so change his food. Get Royal Canin it's formulated by breed and weight,age.


Smells wonderful the moment you open the bag.


Does he get suppliments that could cause that smell.


Petco or any good pet store sells it.
Reply:i would have his kidney functions tested.
Reply:My puppy had the same problem... Ask your vet for a liquid medication called Clinsol liquid. My vet perscribed it, instructed me in how much to give her (since she's so small), and told me to go a week on the medication. I gave her the liquid twice a day, and by the third or fourth day, I noticed that her breath wasn't smelling at all.
