My roughly four month old kitten, Daisy, has awful breath! Even if she opens her mouth only a little bit, for half a second, the most horrible smell comes out. Almost as bad as puppy breath! :wink: I've switched her food (though not for that reason) and that hasn't helped at all. I have an older cat who doesn't have this problem and never has. After reading over some of the topics on this forum, I've read a lot about brushing her teeth, but is there anything else I can do or should know?

LOL, at four mths, your kitty is teething, hence the extra horrible breath. Hopefully in another month or two, it'll clear up. Nothing much to do in the meantime.
IF it doesn't go away though, we're talking a whole other problem, and we can address that if that happens.

Here's a thread with links to a couple other threads about this. Teething. And welcome!

Oh, puppy breath gags me!
Most people I know love that smell, but my stomach turns.

my puppy's breath has become foul in the last week. could it also be because she is getting her permanent teeth in? (we can see them coming in).

thanks!
