Is it normal my dog's breath makes me sick?

My dog's breath smells so bad it makes me sick. It literally makes me nauseous. He always breathes with his mouth open and it's really hot, and he always has to sleep right next to your head or have his nose on your arm. Nothing makes it smell better!!! I feel so bad becuase I don't even want to cuddle with him.

    Bad dog breath means rotting teeth and infected gums! You need to take him to the vet right away! His breath will smell better when you get that taken care of.

    Have you had your dogs teeth checked? Bad breath usually means bad teeth and/or gums. Infected teeth can kill your dog. Be a good guardian and take your sweetie to the vet.

    You should probably take your dog to the vet and get his teeth scaled. Dogs can get tooth and gum decay just like humans if you don't take care of their teeth.

    What a dog eats has alot to do with how their breath smells.
    Our dogs get dry dog food, raw bones and pig ears mainly and their breath doesn't stink at all.
    Maybe you should take a look at what you're feeding yours because that just may be the cause. I'm not saying it is but it MIGHT be.

    Maybe he has a gum/tooth problem. Could you take him to the vet for some advice?
