"People think that 'dog's breath' is normal, but the reality is that it's often a sign of an underlying dental problem," Petbarn Warners Bay manager Michael Gibbons said.
"Much like people, dental problems can have a significant impact on overall health and wellbeing, so it's important that pet owners take care of their pet's teeth."
Regular pet check-ups with your vet are recommended.

These include chewable doggy toothbrushes and dental-specific food through to natural treats, such as beef ears or veal bones.
