Abstract
Halitosis is defined as a noticeably unpleasant odour emitted from the mouth during breathing. Clinically, halitosis can be subdivided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Halitosis is common in dogs and cats and is a significant cause for concern among pet owners. This chapter covers pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, signalment, history and physical examination, diagnostic tests and treatment.
