We all love our dogs, but dental hygiene isn’t always on the top of their list. Good dental practices play an important part in ensuring your dog’s overall good health up to old age. Bad breath occurs mostly due to improper dental care. However, it can also be the result of poor nutrition or digestive issues.

At Merrick we are working to improve your dog’s overall oral health. Merrick Breath Elements™ are made primarily from rice, white potato and peas, which along with concentrated alfalfa extract, parsley and fennel give Merrick Breath Elements their all-natural green color.

Prevention is always better than a cure and a healthy preventative diet plays a huge role in supporting dental health. A nutrient-rich diet, like Merrick’s gourmet dry entrées, is the first step to building your dog’s immune system and continuing good oral hygiene. The crunchy texture of Merrick’s dry food helps keep teeth and gums clean and healthy. In addition, for those with dogs that just have a bad case of halitosis, Merrick’s Breath Elements contain natural breath fresheners alfalfa, parsley and fennel.
