I adopted a 10 month old english bulldog puppy. Will his baby teeth fall out, or has that already happened?

He's teething and chewing on everything!

All puppies have 2 sets of teeth: baby teeth and adult teeth.


Deciduous/baby teeth fall out between 4-6 months. If your puppy is 10 months old it has all of it's adult teeth, so all the teething, and chewing from soreness should be done. Consult a dog trainer if your puppy is a chewer. It may becomes a habit, and you need to break them of it quickly!
Reply:They should have been gone months ago
Reply:you may still have a couple of teeth to fall out.i cant remember hpw old my bulldog was when his baby teeyh fell out.he is 2and a half now and we kept four of his baby teeth and still have them.good luck with him,they are the best dogs in the world
Reply:My pups teeth were falling out around mabe 5 mo.
Reply:Yes his teeth will fall out. Just like a small child he will start teething. Just buy him plenty of chew toys and he'll be fine.
Reply:It's already happened and he's likely done teething now.. He just needs training, redirect that chewing from inappropriate things to things you find appropriate.
Reply:There could still be a few but the chewing issue is now a behavior problem and there are people out there that can help . Try pet smart for some advice on what to do.





Good Luck
Reply:They usually fall out around 3 because I have a yorkie and she lost about one or two when shes was 1 and now shes 3 and she has adult teeth
Reply:They usually fall out around 6 months. But he may have some that aren't gone yet. Usually, puppies stay really mouthy and chew everything even after the teeth fall out. You have to train them not to chew on anything but their own toys. When you catch him chewing on anything he's not supposed to, tell him "no", then give him one of his toys. When he takes it in his mouth, praise him. Keep doing this and he'll learn he can only chew on his toys.
Reply:Dogs have all of their adult teeth by the age of 6 months,so your dog shouldn't have any baby teeth left,although some dogs will retain them,but it's usually toy breeds.Your vet will notice if he has any baby teeth left.
Reply:He may still have a few teeth coming in, at that age. I'm not completely sure. But, if he is teething and chewing on things, do get him some appropriate chew toys! All dogs, even adults, have chewing instincts. It is safe to give your dog a RAW - never cooked - bone, like a beef bone from your butcher. (Raw bones won't splinter like a cooked bone.) Or, if you are reluctant to try that, buy chew toys like Kongs (can be filled with treats and made of hard rubber they can't break up). Whenever he chews on something he shouldn't, say no and offer him the toy you want him to chew on. If you smear peanut butter on it, he'll really want to chew on the toy rather than furniture or whatever. Then praise him and pet him for chewing the right thing.
