Are puppy's teeth supposed to fall out?
Well, puppy teeth are called "milk" teeth; I don't know why because they are like needles and I don't know how the mother can stand it, but I believe they do come out and the permanent teeth come in. Although I have to admit I have never found any of these milk teeth lost by puppies that I have lived with, so I don't know where they go. Also, I never noticed any gaps like you apparently have; just noticed when their teeth were bigger and not as sharp. I guess that's why puppies chew up everything they can get, like a teething baby.
Reply:Yes. Puppies lose their baby teeth, just like people do.
Reply:Absolutely normal. They teeth, lose baby teeth, and grow new ones like humans do. Keep plenty of bones and chew toys around the house, especially ones that you can put in the fridge or freezer. (There are cloth bones that you can wet and stick in the freezer--it will keep swelling and pain down! Check your pet store for these.)
Reply:Yah puppies start teething and biting everything, and then they lose their teeth and they are all bettter,
Reply:Puppies lose teeth just like human beings do. Just as long as your dog is a puppy.
Reply:yes a puppy will lose it's teeth just like we do. It won't take them but a few days to grow new ones. I did not find this out untill about a month ago when my 5 month old bulldog started losing her teeth and they grew back thicker.

Reply:I'm pretty sure all mammals go through a set of baby teeth and then they get adult teeth. I know for sure that dogs, cats, horses, and of course people do.





Losing her teeth has nothing to do with biting people. That's an extremely bad and dangerous habit for a dog to get into. Take your pup to obedience school, or ask your vet how to get her to stop biting.
Reply:they lose teeth just like kids and they theethe like babies too we have a teething baby and dog, petco probably has them.
Reply:Yes, it is normal.


"Just like humans, puppies are born without any teeth. A dog's 28 baby teeth start to erupt during the first few weeks of life. Then, between four and six months, the baby teeth fall out and are replaced by adult teeth. Most dogs have 42 teeth! Humans only have 32 adult teeth.





Teething is often a painful experience for puppies, causing them to chew on anything they can get. Your veterinarian can dispense gum soothing pet gels and chewable treats that can be frozen to sooth aching gums."





My dogs both had all their adult teeth by about 7.5 months. One of them developed nasty breath when she was teething, the other did not. I checked with a vet, and the breath was normal too. Make sure you give her nice soft toys to chew on. My puppies loved their puppy teething kong at this stage.





By the way, the biting is a natural part of puppy development, as puppies (much like children) explore the world through their mouths. If it appears to be an aggressive biting, it may be a concern, otherwise, just be firm about "play-biting" as it is important to teach your dog what is/is not acceptable.





Good luck!! See your vet if there are any problems.
Reply:It's perfectly normal for puppies to lose their baby teeth. If you're lucky, you might even find one or two to keep in a scrapbook.





Dogs have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth. Puppies have no teeth at birth, and grow deciduous teeth beginning their second week of life.





At three months of age, the deciduous teeth begin to be replaced by the permanent teeth. The replacement process begins with the incisors, and moves backwards through the canines, premolars and finally the molars.





The turnover process is usually complete by the time the dog is eight months old, with none of the original 28 deciduous teeth remaining. Most deciduous teeth are swallowed with food and never seen by the pet owner





. Occasionally a deciduous tooth is merely pushed to the side and retained next to the permanent tooth. Retained deciduous teeth can be removed by a veterinarian.





The incisors turn over from deciduous to permanent from two to four months of age. The canines usually convert around six months of age. The premolars and molars follow in that order, with the last permanent molar erupting around eight months of age.





The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed.
Reply:yes this is normal just like children they have baby teeth she may want to chew a lot until the adult teeth come in
Reply:yes they are and if they don't they have to be pulled to make room for their adult teeth... just like kids. Also make sure your pup has a lot of things that look like bones /..keeps them from chewing on your shoes, cords etc.....archie
Reply:Yes, its normal. They loose their baby teeth just like humans.
Reply:It's perfectly normal! Your puppy is going through the teething stage. They lose their baby teeth and the permanent ones come in. It's nothing to worry about.
Reply:Yes I used to find little teeth lay in the carpet from my border collie puppy
