While your pet’s breath may never smell minty fresh, it shouldn’t have an overly unpleasant, foul odor, either. Stinky breath is usually a symptom of periodontal disease, which, when left untreated, can lead to severe complications. From tooth loss, pain, and difficulty eating to systemic infections and organ damage, periodontal disease causes many problems for pets.
