Puppy and their teeth..?
yes they do lose teeth like we do. they usually start losing deciduous (baby) teeth around 4 mons of age starting with the incisors. the last teeth to come out are the canines and those start around 6 mons of age.
Reply:yes puppies do loose their teeth like humans do. my dog started to lose his puppy teeth at around 5-6 mnths old but u may not see it around...coz they tend to eat it. i don%26#039;t know why they do that but my dog was losing his teeth n i didnt know where they all disappeared to until i caught him one day abt to eat his own tooth. his brother also did the same thing.





u have to keep a really good eye on ur puppy when they do come around to losing their teeth if u want to collect them. not sayin u do but u mite.
Reply:yes they usually start to loose their puppy teeth around 3-4 months. they start with their little front incisors and then the larger molars will go, and usually last to go is the big k-9 teeth. some dogs, especially small dogs sometimes do not succesfully lose the baby teeth. they will actuall stay in place and the adult ones will grow in beside them. make sure your dog is losing the baby teeth. if they don%26#039;t it can cause malalignment of the adult teeth and dental issues later on. if this should happen to your pup usually the vet will remove the retained puppy teeth when you have your dog spayed or neutered. good luck with your new little one!
Reply:Yes they do, starting in the back (molars) at 3 months, and moving toward the nose until the adult canines (fangs) come out at 5-6 months. Usually you won%26#039;t see it happen, they tend to swallow the teeth. If you do see one fall out, it will probably be a canine since those teeth are the most visible.





Toy breed dogs don%26#039;t always lose the baby teeth when they should, so you should ask the vet to check for and pull any retained bably teeth when you have him/her fixed. The adult teeth still come in, so these dogs end up with 2 sets of very crooked teeth and a lot of dental disease if you don%26#039;t pull them. Yorkies, chihuahuas, and toy poodles especially like to retain teeth.
Reply:this happens early. usually, they lose all teeth efore they turn 1 years old. =)
Reply:Yes, they do. Those are called %26quot;deciduous%26quot; teeth (in humans, too). It occurs in dogs (and cats, too) around 6 to 7 months of age. Humans take a little longer ;-)
