Here's The Answer If Your Doggy Has Bad Breath

If doggy breath is a problem, here's a doggone good solution
By John Kelso


Does your dog have breath that would knock a pill bug off a
garbage truck? Is it so atrocious that you've started calling
him Hal for short - as in halitosis?

When your dog walks into a room, does someone invariably
ask, "What died under the sofa?"


If that's your problem, pal, there may be hope for you and your
smelly little best friend. A company in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has
a product it claims will cure your dog's mouth P.U. factor and
make him socially acceptable.


About a capful of Oxyfresh Pet Oral Hygiene Solution in your
dog's drinking water, says Oxyfresh CEO Richard Brooke, and you
can stay in the same house with the animal without holding a rag
over your nose. "Where we get most of our business is from pets
that humans sleep with or ride in the car with, where the pet is
in such close proximity to the human they can't stand the pet's
breath," said Brooke, who doesn't have a dog. If I knew as much
about bad dog breath as this guy does, I wouldn't have a dog
either.


Pet owners are buying the jeepers out of this stuff, Brooke
added, so there must be a lot of raunchy dogs out there. "It's
really going crazy," Brooke said. He estimates 20,000 bottles of
this stuff are sold a month. The retail price is about $7, and
much of the selling is done by distributors. "We have
veterinarians and pet stores and breeders and everybody else
coming out of the woodwork to buy it and sell it." Only in
America, or perhaps France, would a product sold for the purpose
of improving doggy breath be a hit. What's next? Doggy deodorant?
Probably not, but only because dogs don't have underarms. Of
course, if you keep your dog on the floor where he belongs, you
might not need this product, unless you sleep on the floor with
the dog. "One lady who sleeps with her dog said that her dog had
such bad breath that she couldn't tolerate sleeping with the dog
anymore," Brooke said. "So she went to the vet and asked if he
had anything." He did. "She was just ecstatic," Brooke said.


Brooke said his company also heard from a rancher who, thanks to
the product, can again ride in the cab of his pickup with his
previously stinky dog. "We get letters all the time," he said.
The reason dogs can use this mouthwash is that, unlike many
mouth rinses, it has no alcohol. Instead, it contains an
ingredient called Oxygene® that acts on the cause of bad breath -
a gas-creating microorganism that hides in dental cavities and
around the gumline. Wow. And I thought dogs have smelly breath
because they eat weird things. Like my dog, Rufus, who loves used
Kleenex. He even sneaks up on it and steals it. Don't even ask.
Actually, for the past 10 years the company has been marketing
Oxyfresh Mouth rinse for humans, a product that, except for its
peppermint flavor, is the same as the dog product. But when the
company found out through word of mouth that many of its
customers were putting their mouthwash in their pets' water bowls
to clear up dog breath, it decided to capitalize on the
situation. About a year ago, the company began marketing a dog
mouthwash by putting a new label, one showing a dog and cat, on
the human mouth rinse. (It also works on cats.) "It was not the
result of any brilliant marketing or research development on our
part," Brooke said. "It was just creative uses of our products by
our customers, and us listening to our customers."


But will your dog drink water with this stuff in it? No problem,
Brooke says. In fact, he's heard from customers that dogs prefer
it that way. "I just heard one the other day where the dog's
water was downstairs and the cat's water is upstairs, and they
started treating the dog's water and the cat started drinking out
of the dog's dish," Brooke said. "Don't ask me why." Maybe the
cat had a date. Yeah, that must have been it.
