There has to be something for a dog's bad breath other than greenish and chews. And what can cause the bad breath other than teeth? Also what can I use to remove tartar from their teeth?
First of all, get the dog a dental checkup. If the dog has cavities you don't know about this will cause a smell and lead to bad teeth.
For plaque reduction use a spray like this one: smile.amazon.com/
You can also get dog toothpaste and toothbrushes or an additive that goes in their water.
I have a 1 year old Yorkie with really bad breath. What can I do about it? Please don't suggest brushing his teeth because it takes 2 of us to brush his teeth and I have been almost bitten by him by brushing his teeth.

Get the germ killing spray. You just spray it into his mouth to help kill plaque and germs. You should also try a powder that you put in his food.
Have you had his teeth examined by a vet? Many times bad breath signals an infected tooth.
We have a mixed small breed dog who is 13 yrs old. His teeth were bad when we got him and he will not let us anywhere his mouth. His breath is horrible and he has to eat soft food because his teeth are so bad. We tried the stuff that you spray in his mouth with no results. Does anybody know of anything that will help his breath or his teeth. The vet has said he is too old and fragile to go under to get his teeth cleaned.

What I use for my two girls, both are 9 years old, is ProDen Plaque Off Animal. It really helps remove the plaque and bad breath. All you need is one tiny scoop a day. Scooper is included. I get mine from www.seniorpetproducts.com/
Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me.
I give my two girls Pro Den Plaque Off. Both are 9 years old.
I get it from www.seniorpetproducts.com

I have a little dog, part Chihuahua and part Pomeranian. He is 7 and was diagnosed with lymphoma (leukemia) in May. The last month his breath started to smell so bad, really bad. I have tried the Denta bones, but they don't seem to help. Any suggestions?

Denta bones won't help if it's not coming from his teeth. It could be his stomach and if that's the case he may need a vet poor poochie.
He's been to the vet, he is losing his teeth. I love, love, love him but the smell is awful. Both of us need a solution.

This is a page about puppy with bad breath. Puppies can have very bad breath when they are quite young.
My dog got skunked last night and I used the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and liquid soap method that worked very well on his coat. The problem now is that when the dog got sprayed by the skunk, he was barking and apparently got a mouthful of the spray also.

I have a Yorkie that is nine years old. Just recently she has developed bad breath. I have started brushing her teeth. It helps somewhat, but it has to been done everyday. I just wanted to know if that is normal?
My Pomeranian has very bad breath. I have her teeth cleaned but it doesn't last more than a few days.
I have a need to understand about a dog's bad breath. I have a 9 month old Chihuahua. Her breath is very smelly. Not in a good way, for a young dog.
My dog is a 14 year old terrier mix. While I love him dearly, I have a very limited income and cannot afford high vet care. Do you have any low cost suggestions for dealing with his bad breath?
I have a 5 month old Pitbull and I was wondering if I could give her Listerine Pocketpack sheets for bad breath? And if so how many?
I have two dogs. When the older dog does his business outside the younger dog licks up the pee. Consequently the younger dog has horrible breath.
