So our pup is two years old and has been fairly healthy so far. He's going to be boarded at the vet in two weeks and we're going to have him get his yearly shots and all of that jazz while he's there.
However, he has the worst doggie breath I've ever smelled. Ever. I mean it's rank. It seems to be a recent development within the past month or two. When I called to make the reservation to board him, I asked if they do teeth cleaning as well. They said they do, but the vet will most likely want to look at him first and they only do it on certain days of the week. They also have to put him to sleep to do it, which is kind of a big deal.
Have any of you ever had your dog put under to do a teeth cleaning? Was it a big deal or hard for them to wake up from the anesthesia? I know it needs to be done (and he wont let us try to brush his teeth) but it scares me having him be put under.
We're also worried that he might have some type of tooth infection which could be causing the bad smell. If that's the case, I feel bad waiting until next weekend (the 13th) to have him seen. He doesn't seem to be pawing at his teeth or anything, but it makes us wonder.
