Help! My dog has bad breath!

Whenever I pet my dog or someone else pets my dog he opens his mouth. I have never been able to understand why he opens his mouth when being petted.  I want to make my dog understand that he should not open his mouth when being petted. How to make my dog not open his mouth when he is being pet by anyone?

The reason i don’t want him to open his mouth when being petted is because he has bad breath. He has no health problems because he is only 2 years old, so i don’t think vet is needed.

    Hi,

    You may be interested to know that dog bad breath is caused by the same thing as human bad breath, the bacteria on the tongue. To cure human bad breath you should clean the bacteria off the tongue. To cure dog bad breath you can also clean the bacteria of the dog’s tongue. OraBrush tongue cleaner can be used by both humans and dogs because it is both a brush and a scraper. I have witnessed a Vet cleaning a dog’s tongue with great results. I suggest you buy two OraBrushes, one for you and one for your dog.
