The Most Common Cause of Chlorine-Breath in Dogs

The most common reason that a dog’s breath may smell like chlorine is due to kidney issues. When the kidneys are working correctly, they remove waste products from the dog’s blood. These are filtered and excreted into the urine.

It’s possible for kidney disease to develop suddenly or come on slowly. When the kidneys have something wrong, they’re no longer able to filter out the waste products in the dog’s bloodstream. This causes the waste products to build up in the dog’s body, which can lead to foul-smelling breath and other symptoms.

Kidney disease can develop for many reasons:

  • Certain dog breeds are more prone to kidney problems, including English Cocker Spaniels, Bull Terries & German Shepherds.
  • Older dogs develop kidney problems more than younger dogs.
  • Toxic substances can cause kidney problems (such as anti-freeze, plants, chocolate, and more)
  • Urinary tract issues can lead to kidney damage (such as stones, infections, and more)

Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has developed kidney disease:

  • Foul breath
  • Lack of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Lethargy
  • Depression
  • Vomiting (usually continuous)
  • Drinking more water than normal
  • Increased urination

If you notice these symptoms in your dog, then call the vet immediately. This is a medical emergency.

Treatment of Kidney Disease in Dogs

Treatment will depend on the severity of the kidney problem. The vet can treat kidney issues with medication, IV fluid therapy, special diets, and more.

In some cases, a dog can live with kidney problems for months and years. It just depends on how soon the issue is found and treated. The sooner a kidney problem is diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis will be for the dog.
