Banish
Baaaad Breath
 Nobody
likes doggy ‘dog-breath’ but tracking down the true cause is
the key to fixing the problem.
We’ve narrowed down the options to provide a handy ‘this’
goes with ‘that’ type ready-reckoner to determine if the
foul smell’s actually coming from the mouth or from further
south.
For example, baaaad breath might be the result of tooth decay
but it could just as easily be the result of a digestive problem
or even the one we all hate to deal with – dodgy anal glands!
Whatever the cause, you’ll find a simple remedy to make Fido
or Fiona decidedly kissable in this story.
But remember, if you ever think there is a problem with your
dog – don’t delay… see your vet today!

Corrects Dr Harry! - Listener Jerry from
USA  Well it's rare that the man voted Australia's most trusted male three years running - Dr Harry Cooper
- makes a mistake!
But something that Dr Harry said in last week's show
prompted a listener to write to us to correct the man who is patron of the
Greyhound Adoption scheme in two states – NSW and Victoria.
 Not only did
this listener correct Dr Harry, he also provided photographic proof!
We always rely on our guests to provide factual information, so we were very pleased to hear from Jerry from
Good Greyhound.
Listen to this segment. Did Dr Harry get it wrong?
