Dog Bad Breath - Hydrogen Peroxide
|
As kids, almost everyone had a run-in with hydrogen peroxide. Occasionally, even as adults we still find the need for this antiseptic. But these instances were to clean sores or wounds that we got while playing around. This was done to make sure that we were protected from nasty infections. So it is a bit controversial to hear about our handy antiseptic being used as a breath freshener. But many dog owners are using it exactly to cure their dog’s bad breath problem.
If this trend continues then it is highly possible to see in our local pet store tucked in its shelves a brand name called DOG BAD BREATH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. But before anyone rushes to the nearest store for this medicine they better study this compound better or ask their vet about it. This way, they are better informed if ever they do seriously consider using hydrogen peroxide to treat their pet’s bad breath.
First of all, what causes bad breath? Bad breath results when the concentration of anaerobic bacteria in the dog’s mouth grows out of proportion because of poor hygiene. These anaerobic bacteria are normally found in the mouth of most animals, humans and dogs included. It is when dog owners neglect to clean their dog’s mouth regularly that these bacteria become too numerous in the dog’s mouth. This alone should be enough to convince every dog owner to make sure that they regularly brush their dog’s teeth with a pet toothpaste.
Second, how does bad breath develop from these bacteria? It is pretty simple really. The bacteria which have been left alone eat the food particles that accumulate in the dog’s teeth and gums. After this happens, the bacteria will then release compounds that are mainly sulfuric and then will mix with the air and these results in bad breath.
So why do some dog owners use hydrogen peroxide to treat their pet’s foul breath? Most dog owners value this compound to clean their dog’s mouth not because of any wound that they may blame for their dog’s foul breath. Rather, they are valuable in treating bad breath because they add to the concentration of oxygen in the mouth.
Anaerobic bacteria are unable to survive in an environment that is loaded with oxygen. Since hydrogen peroxide is loaded with oxygen it manages to do away with the excess bacteria in the dog’s mouth. Then the sulfuric compounds responsible for the bad breath also disappear from the dog’s mouth. This results in a fresher breath for the dog.
It is very important though that only hydrogen peroxide with less than 1.5% concentration is used. This is not one instance where a stronger concentration will do the trick. In this case, if a too strong hydrogen peroxide is used then chances are it will destroy the enamel in the teeth, leading to tooth decay.
Are there any side effects? Yes! It causes vomiting in the dog though it is not really very serious.
With this in mind, it is more practical to use mouth rinses that can easily be mixed into the dog’s water. They are known to be safe and tolerable to the dog. So before anyone thinks of using dog bad breath hydrogen peroxide on their pet, they better use some other safer product in the pet store.

Dog Pain Relief Tips
|
How many of us have heard of horror stories of seeing a friend’s dog suffer through intense pain? I’m assuming more than a few of you are raising your hands right about now. Perhaps you’re the one who has seen it yourself and have asked yourself—what can I give my dog for pain? You don’t want to see them like this anymore. Well, here are some simple tips to ensure that you keep your pet as far away from that as possible from now on.
One of the most common reasons that dogs suffer is because of arthritis. There are some things you can do to keep the effects of this as minimal as possible. For one thing, maintain a healthy weight for your dog. Give him healthy food as well as beneficial supplements with his diet.
Have regular exercise but stay away from intense sports that put unnecessary pressure on his joints like Frisbee. An excellent physical activity you can engage the animal in is swimming. It doesn’t put stress on the joints and you will find that many canines actually love playing in the water. If you have a small dog, a large bathtub filled with water will work just as well.
A simple way for dog pain relief in the dog’s neck and shoulders is to elevate their food dish and water bowl. You can also make it in such a way that the area they sleep in has layers of warm blankets so he can snuggle inside for the cold and damp days. These small adjustments may not seem much for you but they will go a long way in ensuring the future condition of the animal’s joints.
A source of pain for the dog is also inflammation in some of his body parts. You can help alleviate this pain by applying a cold compress on these areas for 20 minutes at a time for the next two days. Do not put hot compress on swelling as it may aggravate the situation. Warm compress can be applied on tense shoulders and backs but not on inflamed joints.
Another good tip in easing pain is through massage. A massage stimulates the flow of blood, relieving stress and soothing your pet’s frazzled nerves. You can also brush out your dog’s hair and in doing so, check is he has any lesions or open wounds that may cause infection and pain. You can use Aloe Vera to soothe the sting of the cuts.
Never use human prescription drugs in an attempt to alleviate your dog’s suffering. Even the seemingly harmless medications have substances that are too harsh for the dog which can lead to damaging his internal organs. Ask your vet for canine medications you can use specific for your pet’s condition.
A good dog pain relief therapy is always accompanied with a master’s loving attention. You may not be able to shield your pet from every illness and pain that comes upon him but with your loving care on him—being happy is an easy enough thing to do for him.
