    You say that her teeth are clean - has your vet recently dealt with your dog and told you this or is it just your opinion? If it is not confirmation from your vet then I would make an appointment for investigation.

    Some dogs get accumulation of food (and worse depending on their habits) in the folds at the sides of their mouths which can smell foul. This needs regular careful cleaning as if left can cause irritation.

    If the vet cannot identify a problem then you may just be unfortunate. You can buy charcoal to sprinkle on food which should help (ours refused to eat it) or doggy breath fresheners (which ours wouldn't eat)! In the end we just had to live with it.:o

    What are you feeding your dog? That could be having an effect.
