My puppy is 8 mos. old and still has her upper k9 puppy teeth next to her adult ones.?

shouldn't she have already lost her puppy teeth, ALL of them by now?

These are called deciduous teeth and they will need to be removed by your vet if they don't fall out soon on their own.


They can cause problems if not removed.


This is not a complicated procedure. Just call your vet and tell them the situation and they can set you up an appointment.

Reply:Yes, dogs have all of their adult teeth by 6 months. What you are seeing are retained puppy teeth and they should be removed by a vet.
Reply:yes, it sounds like she retained her puppy teeth. she will need to get them pulled by the vet. she will need to be under anistisia for the procedure. just give your vet a call and let them know what;s happening
Reply:Dogs do not have all their adult teeth by the time they are 6 mos of age. Depending on the breed, they can still be losing and gaining teeth til they are 8 or 9 mos of age. As long as the teeth aren't blocking or stopping adult teeth from coming in. And as long as they aren't red and inflamed or infected looking, she'll be fine. If it looks like they are in the way and stopping the adult teeth from coming in, you'll want the vet to take a look, he might have to pull the baby teeth so the adult teeth can come in properly.





I have a 6 mos + puppy, who lost a pre molar the other day. She still has several puppy teeth to go.
Reply:If she has her puppy teeth AND her adult ones as well you need to take her to the vet and have the puppy teeth surgically removed.
