Porky and Buddy Pet Health – Dealing With Canine Bad Breath

My dog, Frou Frou, (he’s a Doberman, it’s a long story) has suddenly, like in the last week or so, developed bad breath – really stinky, disgusting bad breath.

Pet of the Week – Autumn

Pet of the Week – Ben Hur

Ben Hur is a big, devilishly handsome boy, sort of like his namesake, don’t you think? Unlike his namesake, however, he is a true pussy cat who loves laps and backscratching. He may be skittish at first and will probably require some time to adjust to you. It took his foster mom all summer to make friends with him. They are BFFs now!
