Can I Freshen My Puppy's Breath?

Puppies should received regular veterinary dental exams at every vaccination and again at age six months. You should also start a daily tooth-brushing regimen at this time, since your puppies are more able to accept and learn the process. If these things fail to freshen your puppy's breath, give your puppy breath-freshening dog treats and firm (but not hard) chew toys.
