My GSP's gums are red and inflamed. Any ideas what could be the issue?

How old is your dog?
Teeth/gum problems are almost for sure with an older dog.
Wiggle those teeth.Any loose ones?
My 12 year old just had 6 fall out / pulled out by the vet.

He is almost 4. Teeth are not loose at all. He always has bad breath! :roll:

I always look at his teeth and they are normally not like this. This morning the one side is not inflamed but the other is still inflamed and redish.

I think he needs a good cleaning!
