Hi there, I had my tonsils removed 5 months ago because of my tonsil stones. Tonsil stones are actually a build up of plaque, bacteria and any other debris that finds its way to the small concave shaped holes in your tonsils. You can have the tonsil stones removed by any hospital/a&e however they would probably recommend to have your tonsils removed all together which I promise you is a lot better. I suffered with tonsil stones and tonsillitis for my whole life and I am so glad I had them removed. Go to your GP and tell them about the stones, they will refer you to the hospital to either get your tonsils or the stones removed

Yes, dogs can sometimes require tonsil removal, a procedure known as tonsillectomy. This may be necessary if they have chronic tonsillitis, recurrent infections, or tumors affecting the tonsils. Symptoms that might indicate a problem include difficulty swallowing, excessive drooling, or persistent bad breath. However, tonsil removal is not common in dogs and is typically considered only when other treatments have failed.
You will feel no different than before you had them removed. Your body will work just as well after it is removed.
Tonsil removal, or tonsillectomy, is typically recommended when a person experiences recurrent tonsillitis, which is characterized by frequent throat infections, or when the tonsils are enlarged, causing breathing difficulties or obstructive sleep apnea.

Tonsils are a normal part of your body - everyone has them unless they are removed. No medicine is needed.
Bad breath from tonsils is generally caused by tonsil stones. Possible treatment includes removing the tonsil stones at home, gargling with warm salt water, using antibiotics, or having the tonsil stones removed by a surgeon. Since tonsil stones contain bacteria and other debris, things like mouthwash and gum will not help your bad breath.
