Does your dog’s breath smell? As they grow older, many dogs seem to suffer from doggy breath.
Here’s a tip: add mint to his diet.
Three cookbooks advocate organic foods for dogs — Newsday.com reports:
“Herbs, such as mint and parsley, are not only good for dogs, they’re good for dog owners. All three authors use mint and parsley in their recipes, and Mehanna even includes a recipe for ‘after-dinner mints’ including both herbs.
‘Most dogs have doggy breath,’ said Anne. ‘The cookies that I make with mint really help freshen their breath.’”

Puppy or older dog?

If you’re looking for a dog, which is best, a puppy or an older dog?
For families with children, an older dog might be the best choice.
“Puppies are very often turned over to animal shelters weeks or months after being purchased because they are ‘too hyper’ with the kids, even though their activity level is actually totally normal for a puppy. This is why a slightly older dog, even one who is 7-12 months old, or older, can be a perfect match for a family with kids. They have lost their sharp baby teeth so their play bites don’t hurt as much, and they have done most of their teething on someone else’s shoes and furniture.
Many people give up on their puppies just at the point that they would have started to calm down, so their desperation and frustration is your gain when you visit the shelter. Many young adult or adult pets are already housebroken, and some even have had some training in their former family, making your life much easier, because your pet has a head start.”
