Question
we have a 2 year old mini dachshund "bella" we love her to death but her breath is enough to kill us what can we do?

Answer
Lift up her lip and take a look at her teeth, particularly her molars way in the back. Those teeth should be pearly-white, all the way up to the gum line. If they are not, she needs her teeth cleaned.

It is also possible that she could have tonsillitis (which would need to be determined by your veterinarian) or something stuck in her teeth that is causing the odor.
