Hi XXXXXXXX,

For how long have you noticed this bad breath?
Have you recently changed their food?
Are they acting sick in any way?

The past week or so. Their food is the same and they are acting normal. They are active and they do enjoy eating...

What you are describing is referred to as halitosis. To answer your question, this problem can have MANY different causes, and in order to give advice on how to make the halitosis go away, first the cause must be identified.

I am attaching a client information handout that I use in my practice that discusses this problem, its causes, and the treatment for it. I hope that you find it helpful.
