Bad Breath Could Be More Than Just Bad Breath!
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of oral issues by age three. And bad breath is one of the most telling symptoms. The good news? Spotting the signs early can help.
Without diving into the boring "technical" details, here are a few simple signs to look out for. Make 2025 the year of fresh breath and fresher kisses!
1. Plaque & Tartar Buildup
Plaque forms when bacteria interact with food. Especially if your pet is on a carbohydrate-rich diet. Now, plaque, if not regularly cleaned and removed, hardens into tartar. Tartar is a bit more stubborn and usually requires professional cleaning.
Prevention: Regular brushing, dental chews and access to fresh water help keep plaque in check.
Try MalsiPree’s Dental Stars which help reduce plaque. Intentionally made a bit bigger in size and with a unique star-shaped design, these dental treats promote healthy chewing and effectively clean every nook and corner.

2. Tongue Coating
Bacteria and food particles can coat your pet’s tongue, causing persistent bad breath.
Prevention: Ensure proper hydration and occasional tongue cleaning alongside tooth brushing.
3. Diet & Oral Hygiene
Unbalanced diets, table scraps and food with added sugars can have a huge impact on your pets' dental health.
Prevention: Stick to a nutrient-rich diet and avoid sugary or preservative-pumped food.
