Just that really. He's 11 weeks old and we've had him for 5 days (acquired him from someone who hadn't realised how demanding puppies were and was trying to give him to a rescue centre). He's absolutely gorgeous but has quite bad breath which sort of smells like a mixture of poo and the dog food he's on.
We took him to the vet on Tuesday and I didn't think to mention it then and thought maybe he just needed a bath. Well he's had a bath and it's definitely his breath! He's had lots of attention in the housetraining department since he arrived and we're sure he's not a poo eater. He seems in very good health and has masses of energy 🙄.
I've read that puppies' breath can smell when they're teething but that it's more fishy and I don't think he's the right age for that. Obviously will mention it to the vet when he goes for his next jabs. But in the meantime I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what could be causing it?
