answered a question What can I give my dog for bad breath?

Most often, bad breath is caused by dental or gum disease, and certain dogs -- particularly small ones -- are especially prone to plaque and tartar. I think the best thing to do is try to brush their teeth regularly, but this can be difficult! Especially if they HATE the process. It's best to start slow, be gentle and offer treats for rewards. I've also used a gel that just needs to be rubbed on the surface of their teeth. If you can get it somewhat on their teeth, it can usually distribute pretty well naturally in your dog's mouth. There is also a water additive that I hear works really well!

answered a question Why does my dog eat a lot of grass?

Grass-eating doesn't usually lead to throwing up. Although, sometimes it does and this can help them naturally relieve an upset tummy. Other reasons may include improving digestion, treating intestinal worms, or fulfilling some unmet nutritional need, including the need for fiber.
