Losing Puppy teeth?

My puppy is nine months old. I haven%26#039;t found any puppy teeth and in her mouth it doesn%26#039;t LOOK like she lost any. She should have lost them by now, right? I was just wondering what you all think.


(She does have some crooked teeth and when she was really young she didn%26#039;t have an underbite, now as she grew, she does.It%26#039;s kinda cute though.)

Losing Puppy teeth?
Are you sure your pup does not have retained teeth? It happens usually in toy breeds and I am not sure what kind you have. What happens is they keep their baby teeth as the adult teeth try to come in and it pushes the adult teeth out of line which can cause the under bite your seeing now. If you are absoultely sure he never lost his baby teeth make an appointment at the vet.
Reply:Puppies usually have the perm. teeth by 9 months, at least in our breed.
Reply:don%26#039;t worry about it my dogs did not fall out until she was about 1 year old.
Reply:She should actually have all of her adult teeth by now. Puppy (milk) teeth usually start to fall out around 4 months, and adult teeth should all be in by 7 or 8 months. But you might not have even noticed that her baby teeth were falling out, I`ve only actually seen a couple of my puppy`s. He`s lost quite a few, and they often swallow them because they are so tiny.





Have the vet take a look, just to be sure. If you are getting her spayed soon, the vet will probably remove any remaining baby teeth while she is `under`.
Reply:all of her puppy teeth shouldve fallen out by now. and they can swallow their teeth so you usually wont find them.
Reply:Your dog should be fine, by now all of her puppy teeth are more thna likely gone, plus you usually don;t see them because they swallow them most of the time, I only saw one or two when my dog lost her%26#039;s so I wouldn;t worry about it.
Reply:It all depends on the puppy just like with babies some are slower then others in looseng their teeth and getting their adult teeth. My King is 9 mos old and he has all of his adutl teeth. He is a german shepard nlack lab mix. Sometimes they will loose there teeth and you wont find them laying around I never found any of Kings. If it would make you feel better call your vet and ask him about.
