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!

- Listener Jerry from USA

Greyhounds digging (c) Good GreyhoundWell 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.

Dr Harry & friendsNot 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?
