Tisoy, our 8-year old spitz, was exuding a bad odor in his mouth. Obviously it is a gum problem, gingivitis maybe. It smelled like rotten meat. The vet recommends cleaning but our dog would undergo general anesthesia which I am afraid of. No deal because of that. Now we are cleaning the gums of our spitz with a cotton ball dipped in iodine. We also spray his mouth with a mouth deodorizer. After 2 weeks of that treatment, the odor was greatly diminished.
