What are the homemade treats to freshen dogs breath

Dogs, these companions like the warmest little suns in life, fill every corner of our lives with their passion, loyalty, and liveliness, bringing us endless joy. However, when the dog approaches, the unpleasant breath may instantly break the beautiful atmosphere, not only affecting intimate interaction with the dog, but also suggesting health issues for the dog. To give dogs fresh breath again, we can make some delicious and practical snacks by hand. This not only satisfies the taste buds of dogs, but also helps with their oral health, keeping them charming and charming at all times. Behind this is our deep love and care for dogs.

There are various reasons for bad breath in dogs, and understanding these reasons can help us better improve their breath by making homemade snacks. Poor oral hygiene is a common factor. After dogs eat, food residues are easily left in the gaps between their teeth and gums. If not cleaned in time, bacteria will grow in large numbers, decompose food residues, and produce unpleasant odors. Long term consumption of excessively soft and rotten food is also not conducive to cleaning dogs' teeth, as such food is difficult to clean the mouth through chewing. In addition, certain diseases such as periodontitis, gingivitis, dental caries and other oral diseases, as well as gastrointestinal problems, may cause bad breath in dogs. For example, dogs with periodontitis may have swollen and bleeding gums, and the odor produced by inflammation can make their breath very unpleasant.

Homemade teeth cleaning bones are an excellent choice for helping dogs breathe fresh air. Prepare an appropriate amount of chicken breast and carrots. Wash the chicken breast and cut it into thin strips. Peel the carrots and also cut them into thin strips. Wrap the cut chicken breast strips and carrot strips around each other like braids. Then place the wrapped meat bones on a baking tray and place them in a preheated oven. Bake at 180 ℃ for 20-30 minutes until the chicken and carrots become dry and crispy. Chicken breast meat is rich in protein, which can provide nutrition for dogs. At the same time, the toughness of chicken meat can help dogs clean the dirt on the surface of their teeth during chewing. Carrots are rich in vitamins and fiber, which are not only beneficial for the health of dogs, but their texture can also help to rub their teeth during chewing, effectively reducing the formation of dental plaque and tartar, and thus freshening their breath. Watching the dog gnaw on the homemade toothbrush bone with relish, every bite striving for fresh breath, our hearts are also filled with satisfaction.

Vegetable and fruit snacks are also very helpful in improving a dog's breath. For example, apple slices are rich in pectin, a natural dietary fiber that helps promote intestinal peristalsis in dogs, improve digestive function, and indirectly reduce bad breath caused by gastrointestinal problems. Wash the apple, remove the core, cut it into thin slices, put it in the oven, and bake it at 150 ℃ for 30-40 minutes until the apple slices become dry and crispy. Apple slices have a sweet and refreshing taste, which dogs usually love. And during the process of nibbling on apple slices, the fibers of the apple can clean the teeth, remove food residue, and reduce the growth of oral bacteria. There are also broccoli snacks, which are rich in vitamins C, K, and antioxidants, and are very beneficial for dogs' oral and overall health. Cut the broccoli into small pieces, steam it until cooked, and let it dry slightly. Then put it in the oven and bake at 160 ℃ for 15-20 minutes until the broccoli is dry but not burnt. The unique texture of broccoli can massage the gums of dogs while chewing, reduce gum inflammation, and freshen breath. When dogs happily enjoy these fruits and vegetables snacks, it feels like they are doing a 'big cleaning' for their oral health.

In addition to teeth cleaning and fruit and vegetable snacks, yogurt jelly is also a good choice. Choose sugar free and additive free pure yogurt, pour the yogurt into the mold, which can be a cute animal shaped mold to increase the dog's interest. Put it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and freeze for 3-4 hours until the yogurt is completely set. Yogurt contains probiotics that can regulate the balance of dogs' gut microbiota, improve digestion, and reduce bad breath. Moreover, the cold and refreshing taste of yogurt can bring a hint of coolness to dogs in hot summers, while also serving to clean their mouths. When a dog licks on yogurt jelly, its satisfied appearance makes us feel the joy and value of making snacks for it.

When making these homemade snacks, it is important to ensure that the ingredients are fresh and hygienic, and that the production process strictly follows hygiene standards to avoid bacterial contamination. At the same time, it is necessary to control the amount of snacks given to dogs based on their age, weight, and health condition, in order to avoid obesity or other health problems caused by excessive feeding.

The fresh breath of dogs is a sweet catalyst for our intimate interaction with them. Every homemade snack is filled with our deep love and care for dogs. By making these snacks by hand that can help dogs breathe fresh, we not only safeguard their oral health, but also establish a deeper emotional connection with them in the process. Watching dogs grow up healthy and happy, always accompanied by fresh breath and bright smiles, we know that all efforts are worth it. Because dogs provide us with unconditional love and companionship, we should wholeheartedly protect their health and make their lives full of sweetness and beauty.
