feed her bones always helps
especially bones with meat on them
Take her to the vet for a dental cleaning
They sell dog toothbrushes and dog toothpaste. Dogs should use the dog toothpaste because if you use people tp they swallow and there system cant digest it very well.
In most cases, bad breath is a sign of sickness. You may want to check with your vet.

my dog was the same and when we took him to the vets we found that a few of his back teeth we’re really rotten even though we cleaned his teeth every week so he had the rotten ones taken out and the others professionly cleaned at the vets now we clean his teeth every evening and use a mouth wash and dental sticks his breath is now a lot better hope this helps
it cost us £90 to get it done (uk)
Check the mouth for any injury(wounds).Lips area too
Please take your dog to see a vet.
It may be a simple case of bad breath or it may be something a lot worse. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Wishing you all the best.
If all the things you tried haven’t worked, then it could be due to gum disease or a build up of plaque, the vet will be able to clean the teeth.
Although bad breath is also associated with kidney disease and liver disease. You should see the vet and find out the cause of the halitosis.
Bright Bites Daily Dental Treats are the fun way to help keep your dog’s teeth free of plaque and tartar. Your dog will love eating this star-shaped treat!
Plaque and tartar on the teeth cause gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums. Gingivitis not only leads to a painful mouth and loose teeth, but also allows bacteria in the mouth easy entry into the bloodstream, potentially leading to heart or kidney disease. Bright Bites help maintain a healthier mouth, which leads to better overall health.
Developed by veterinarians, Bright Bites are the first step in promoting good oral hygiene and preventing gum disease. Their shape and texture help to fight plaque and tartar, and promote whiter teeth.
Everyone else has already said it, but, take your dog to the vet and let them see if there is an underlying issue. We adopted a Yorkie mix with HORRIBLE breath. She retained her baby K9s and food has been getting stuck between them. She also has a cavity in one of them.
She will be having both teeth removed on July 17 at the same time she is being spayed.
Have the vet check to make sure it’s not a sign of an infection. I regularly give my dogs chew toys and dental treats like Bright Bites http://www.brightbites.com and that has worked well for him. If things like that don’t help, I think the next step is to have him checked out by a vet.
