Diagnosing Gingivitis in Dogs


If your dog has bad breath it could be an indicator of gingivitis or another type of periodontal disease. Call your vet to set up a wellness exam to determine the source of the bad breath. Gingivitis is usually the culprit of bad breath. This disease involves inflammation, redness and swelling of the gums due to the build-up of plaque, which is food or other debris. Only your vet can tell you if your dog has gingivitis. Your vet will need to perform a physical exam on your dog and will most likely ask you for a detailed history of your dog’s overall health. Be prepared to describe any symptoms your dog may be experiencing including when the symptoms appeared and how long they last. You should also talk to your pet clinic London, ON about the type of food your dog eats and whether or not you clean your dog’s teeth.
