T had lovely breath (for a dog!) until very recently. It has quite suddenly become pretty nasty. If he licks us or even dribbles on anything, the smell he leaves behind is not very pleasant.
I did start giving him some wet meat recently as he wasn't eating his dry food. I'm giving him wainwrights from pets at home with some dry food mixed in. The only reason I'm mixing it is for the biscuits to keep his teeth clean.
His teeth still look nice and white and his gums look normal. I have some doggy wipes which I have cleaned his face with. The wipe was a bit mucky when I wiped his mouth but I still think the smell is coming from inside his mouth rather than around. I also cleaned his teeth today with dog toothpaste which I'll continue to do for a week or so.
Should I cut out the wet food and just assume he will eat the dry food when he is hungry? Or does he needs to be seen by a vet?
