  • Mini Schnauzer with BAD Breath

    I agree with you. Cleaning the dogs teeth is crazy, cost wise. Just a few bucks under a thousand dollars, was the estimate.
    Not sure why a vet needs that much money. We've tried the various bones, plus brushing.

    Generally it's a lot less but comes as part of a monthly vet plan
    (20-25$ a month and that also covers basic shots and a checkup every 6
    months plus standard bloodwork). Call it 400$ a year and dental
    included.

    I own a very affectionate 5 year old minature schnauzer, who loves
    attention and affection, and we have no problem what so ever responding
    to his affection, but we have just one BIG problem!! Schnitzie has really
    bad breath.

    I've had conversations with friends of mine who are fellow
    schnauzer owners, and they have found the same problem. We've tried doggy toothpastes and breath sprays, but nothing seems to be helping. The vet
    has told us that one of the few ways to get rid of the problem would be
    to have his teeth cleaned. We would do this in a instant, but for those
    of you who have also been given this advice know that it is VERY
    expensive to have done, at least it is here in Newfoundland. If there are other schnauzer owners out there who have encountered this problem and
    have some other advice, both Schnitzie and myself would be very appreciative!! He loves his attention and affection and wouldn't be too pleased if he had to go without! :) Of course we'd NEVER think of doing
    that to our baby, but his breath is becoming intolerable!!

    Any advice is more than welcome!!

    My mini schnauzer has always had bad breath. We had her teeth cleaned 2 years ago and that DIDN'T help one bit. I was wondering if we gave her probiotics for her guts if that would help.
