Redcorn say it just beacuse they get same bacteria and plaque humans do, and they need to have something to get it out of there and clean their teeth.. Try givey them bones or chewies.. this usually work really good for our dog… They also sell those ‘greenies’ at the pet store that are designed to clean their teeth, and freshen their breath!

The most common cause of bad breath in dogs is tooth decay. Check your dog’s mouth or get your vet to check for plaque build up and bad teeth.
Possible Causes of Bad Breath in Dogs
Broken, Decayed or Abscessed tooth.

If the dogs aren’t getting any dental care (dental cleanings) or have gum problems, that could cause rank breath. It is suggested that you brush a dogs teeth regularly.
It is easiest to get them used to it when they are puppies but it will help with their overall health if you can swing it.
Bad teeth or stomach. Check with your vet.
You need to brush your dog’s teeth.
