Dog Recipes for Pet Bad Breath

Want to cut back on that bad dog breath and create some healthful treats for your dogs?  Here are three recipes we've found that profess to help with their breath as well as tickle their tastebuds.

Be sure to check that your dog doesn't have some serious dental issue going on that is causing more than the normal bad doggy breath.  All of the great food in the world won't overcome dental and medical issues.

This first recipe and the next one are are fromCare2.com.  The first recipe was adapted from Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals by Kristen Leigh Bell (Findhorn Press, 2002).  Many dogs love the taste of this recipe.
