How long before a puppy loses his baby teeth?

Most puppies start loosing their baby teeth (otherwise known as "milk teeth," or deciduous teeth) around four month of age. They will continue until between six to nine months months of age . Some start a little younger, and some puppies take a little longer. Others may be done by six months old. It varies by breed and even by individuals within the breed.





Some people say that their puppy never lost it's teeth, and sometimes this is true. Other people just never notice that the puppy has lost its baby teeth and has grown an adult set.





Occasionally, a puppy will have one or some adult teeth grow in without the baby teeth falling out. If this happens, please take your puppy to the veterinary dentist or to your regular vet. You may have to have the baby teeth removed

my dog never lost any teeth
Reply:Most dogs are done teething between 6-8 months.
Reply:Puppies lose their milk teeth about the time they're weaned - 6-10 weeks, but you will probably never notice. The second teeth push them out and the puppy ends up swallowing them.
Reply:Most puppies are undergoing some form of continued teething, either erupting or replacing the baby teeth, until they are about nine months of age. The exact end to teething varies considerably with each individual puppy. Teething puppies love to chew. This may be an attempt to relieve the irritation associated with raw and occasionally bleeding gums. It is best to provide the puppy with sufficient chews in the form of nutritional treats, toys, etc. This will help direct the potentially destructive chewing habit away from objects such as furniture.
Reply:Only after he has chewed up all of your furniture and your favorite belongings.
Reply:Adult middle incisors (small front teeth) begin emerging at 4 months. Canine's (fang teeth) come in around 5 months. Most (except small toy breeds) will have full adult teeth by 6-7 months.
Reply:Most dogs will start replacing their baby teeth at about 4 months. It's a good idea to start looking into your pups mouth about then, to see if they're coming in properly. some dogs need to have their baby teeth surgically removed in order that the permanent teeth grow in properly. This is especially important if you're planning on showing your dog.
