Other Causes of Dog’s Breath Smelling Like Cat Poop

Here are some of the most common reasons a dog’s breath may smell like cat poop:

Dental disease: is the most common cause of bad breath in dogs. Just like us, dogs can suffer from a wide variety of dental issues, including tooth decay, abscesses, oral tumors, gum disease, and much more. The smell is caused by plaque and bacteria in your dog’s mouth.

Respiratory problems: including infections in the sinuses and lungs, can cause a dog’s breath to smell extremely bad.

Liver disease: can cause a dog’s breath to smell like cat poop. Liver disease can even include hepatitis in dogs.

Digestive tract problems: stomach ulcers, gastritis, and more can cause a dog’s breath to smell like poop.

How to Help Your Dog

If your dog isn’t eating treats out of the litter box, then it’s a good idea to call the vet. There are many different types of health issues that can cause a dog’s breath to smell like poop. Some of these are very serious. The vet is the only one who can make a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan for your fur baby.

In most cases, once the underlying health issue has been treated, your dog will feel much better, and his breath will return to normal doggie breath once again!
