When does a puppy looses their teeth?

I have a 4 month old puppy, when will I expect her %26#039;puppy%26#039; teeth to fall out to be replaced with permanent ones?

When does a puppy looses their teeth?
Anytime now.... she might have already lost a couple, and you haven%26#039;t noticed! Puppies often swallow them, because they are so tiny they might not even notice, and they are small enough to %26quot;pass through%26quot; safely.





My puppy just lost another tonight, he%26#039;s 6 months old. As the milk teeth fall out, the new ones will come in very quickly. He%26#039;s only got a couple more to go.... if they aren%26#039;t out by mid-month when he gets neutered, I%26#039;m going to have the vet take them out :D
Reply:I%26#039;d say about now. Be sure to give her lots of things to chew on to help it along!
Reply:she is starting to loose them slowly now. You may not see them as they get stuck in toys or swallowed as they fall out. Puppies have all their adult teeth at 6 month so you will slowly start seeing the puppy one go.
Reply:between 4 to 6 months.
Reply:It usually happens between 4-5 months
Reply:between 4 and 6 months the puppy will loose his teeth.

Brushing a puppy's teeth.....?

how often are you supposed to brush a puppy teeth...

Brushing a puppy%26#039;s teeth.....?
Good for you to begin brushing the teeth so early! It is best to do it at least 3 times a week. You can do it daily if you like. Use a pediatric toothbrush and veterinary toothpaste (no fluoride). Lift the puppy%26#039;s lip and brush just the outside surfaces of the teeth starting at the gum line and sweeping away toward the tip of the tooth.





Your puppy will learn that this is part of his grooming routine just like nail trims and will make it a lot more manageable when he grows up. Brushing the teeth help keep the teeth in good shape, decreasing periodontal disease, and increasing the time between dental cleanings.
Reply:Puppy teeth don%26#039;t have to be brushed since they will fall out, but take the opportunity to get him used to it, as daily brushing would be best once the adult teeth come in. Use a soft childrens toothbrush and special dog toothpaste.
Reply:it isn%26#039;t necessary. they make toys treats and even food that do this for you. my grandma used to brush her sheltie%26#039;s teeth and i always found it stupid.
Reply:I brush my dogs once a month and give her bones to clean them.
Reply:Well it depends what kind of dog.Also like there teeth fall out then they grow adult teeth.My staffy has white teeth and he chews nylabones and keeps them white while my frenchbulldog he trys to chew them but we have to brush his teeth.It all depends upon breed

I'm having my puppy's puppy teeth pulled...?

My yorkie has 3 of his puppy teeth that are retained. When my taxes come back, I%26#039;m having the rest of them pulled (one fell out on it%26#039;s own) to help with his bad breath.





My question is, (for those of you who have had your dog%26#039;s teeth pulled), how did you care for them afterward? And what kind of dog do you have? How was your dog%26#039;s recovery period? All answers and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance. =^)

I%26#039;m having my puppy%26#039;s puppy teeth pulled...?
If you haven%26#039;t had your dog neutered this would be the best time to do that too. It will cost less for the anesthesia.





After the teeth are pulled you can feed him soft food for 3-5 days. After that they are usually just fine. If he isn%26#039;t getting any back teeth pulled then he shouldn%26#039;t have much problems eating.





The gums fully heal in about 1-2 weeks. Puppies (and young animals in general) usually recover quickly too.

Losing puppy teeth?

My 4 month old puppy is losing teeth. He has lost about 5 allready. Is it too early?





What can I do for him? He is probably in pain right?

Losing puppy teeth?
It%26#039;s normal. Make sure you have plenty of rubber toys for him to chew on. Also, when my youngest dog began teething I gave her one of those baby toys you give to toddlers when they are teething- you put them in the fridge so they are cold. She seemed to like the cold toy during teething than any other one- I believe they make something like this for dogs though incase you don%26#039;t want to use a toddler%26#039;s one.
Reply:thats a normal time to start loosing teeth. I don%26#039;t think he%26#039;s in pain. I never read much on that though.
Reply:just keep some chew toys for him, that%26#039;s all
Reply:no you don%26#039;t need to do any thing he is just loosing his baby teeth just like humans. hes not in any pain don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:no its a natural thing. just give him plenty of toys to teethe on or else he will go for your shoes!!
Reply:thats one month early ,put some aloe vera gel on it


dont worry its normal and he is not in pain much at all.
Reply:Puppies usually lose their teeth around that time. It will probably ease the pain i you give them something to chew on.
Reply:i would give him cold water and soft dog food
Reply:Do Nothing; this is natural. If he doesn%26#039;t lose all the baby teeth before the permanent ones comes in, they may be too crowded, %26amp; the Vet would have to pull the baby teeth that didn%26#039;t come out; let Nature do its thing.
Reply:No, he%26#039;s at about the right age. He probably isn%26#039;t in as much pain as you might think. Just give him a soft chew toy to help him teethe.





Oh, and do be careful if you tend to walk around with bare feet. My hubby stepped on one of our puppy%26#039;s teeth one night and bled for ages. He complained loudly. Puppy was just fine. ;-)
Reply:no its normal,they don`t seem to be in pain...but its bugging then so mebay something to chew on would be a good idea......
Reply:THERE IS TOOTH PASTE AND POWERS TO USE FOR THEIR TEETH GUMS -THE POWERED STUFF YA JUST BUY AT A PET STORE AND THE PASTE AND BRUSH--YOUR DOG SHOULD BE FINE -JUST CHECK TO SURE ITS GUMS ARE NOT RED-IF SO ,GET TO THE VET.
Reply:Nah this is normal. Purchase some of them frozen bite type toys for babes teething...he is ok and no he is not in pain....animals can endure much more than humans even though us humans feel our dogs are human...lol...he is ok but if he whimpers give him one 200mg motrin or one baby aspirin...any doubts or questions contact link provided. Hector is Great....and reknowned....good luck
Reply:No, it is not too early for him to lose his baby teeth.





Puppies ave 28 baby teeth which will soon be replaced with 42 adult teeth.





I%26#039;m sure his gums are a little sore and you may find that he will not eat as well as he usually does, but don%26#039;t be alarmed.





You can give him ice cubes to chew on to help ease any discomfort ant and you also freeze a wet wash cloth and let him chew on that, BUT watch him carefully with the washcloth. You don%26#039;t want him to tear it to to bits and swallow any of it. There are also teething toys that you buy for him at any of the major pet stores.





Here%26#039;s a link about teething that you may find helpful as well. If you%26#039;re lucky, you might even find one or two to save in his scrapbook :-)
Reply:Yes, it%26#039;s alright to lose teeth that early, and for the pain, u culd put ice to his gums or something
Reply:Actually, this is just the right time for him to be loosing his teeth. They start shedding their incisors at about 4 months. The process is a bit painful, which is why they start to chew a whole lot while they%26#039;re teething. You%26#039;ll definitely want to make sure he has plenty of chew toys around, otherwise he%26#039;ll turn to your stuff. It%26#039;s a good idea to keep track of his teeth during this time, just in case he retains a baby tooth or something is coming in extremely crooked. He should end up with 42 teeth total, which is more than he had as a puppy. They start with 28. He should be done around 6-7 months when his molars come in. Unless he is showing overt signs of pain, I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. I couldn%26#039;t find anything on petco.com that would help oral pain, and the %26quot;natural%26quot; remedies online are like $30 a bottle. The way I see it, puppies have been teething without pain meds for thousands of years. They should be fine unless there is a dental problem


I hope this helps!
Reply:It%26#039;s nothing to worry about! It%26#039;s perfectly normal! Puppies lose their baby teeth, just like we lose our baby teeth, when we are babies, to make room for the permanent ones. Half of the time, they just swallow the teeth, so you don%26#039;t even know they are missing. Just make sure he has a lot of chew toys, and keep items he should not be getting into out of reach, because when they are teething, they will chew on anything.

Show Dogs and Puppy Teeth?

Do judges make exceptions for puppies as far as their teeth not being fully grown in? At what age does a dog%26#039;s bite need to be fully developed? Is a retained puppy tooth a fault?


(Just got the OK to show my Papillon pup, just trying to figure out if a retained canine needs to be corrected first or not.)

Show Dogs and Puppy Teeth?
Sounds like your dog has deciduous retention - a condition where the baby teeth do not fall out on their own. Don%26#039;t worry .. I have this condition myself. I am well into my adult hood and still have 4 baby teeth. Its ok for people, but for dogs that develop the correct adult dentition, the baby teeth need to be removed. First of all, the teeth being so close together can cause hygiene issues. Secondly, judges will severely fault your pup for having these teeth. Its a simple, quick procedure so ask your vet about getting this taken care of before putting your pup in the ring.
Reply:Oh Finally I found you! I searched the whole of YA to appologise...I was really mean to you once,well I wernt it was my cousin pretending to be me so i%26#039;m sorry for that please don%26#039;t think I would do something like that =] kisses x Report It

Reply:Your dog needs to be in its natural state. Just cleaned and fluffed. Don%26#039;t rush anything with the development of the dog%26#039;s teeth or the new tooth might not grow in at all.
Reply:By the time you are showing your puppy at dog shows, her adult teeth should be in ... The first class is 6-9 month age class. If your puppy hasn%26#039;t lost his puppy canine tooth yet, you can go to the vet to see if it needs to pulled, if it is in the way of the adult tooth coming in. Usually, the baby tooth will come out when the adult tooth pushes thru.
Reply:Puppies start to loose their deciduous (baby) teeth at about four months of age. Although there is some variation, most adult dogs have 42 teeth, with the molars coming last, at about six or seven months.





Yes, you will need to have a retained canine tooth fixed, regardless of whether you will be showing her or not. It is considered a fault and can cause health problems down the road. Definitely call your Vet and schedule an exam to have the tooth looked at.
Reply:Check with your Vet. If it is indeed a retained %26quot;puppy tooth%26quot;, you should have it removed so the permanent tooth has room to come in.





Poor bites are penalized in various degrees, depends on what your standard says about the proper bite. You could get in trouble if you used bands or any appliance that tries to change or correct the bite.





Hope this helps. Good luck.
Reply:SAME WITH THE OTHER TWO
Reply:Well, by six months or older, all adult teeth are usually in, so that is when you start entering real shows. Under 6 months, you can enter puppy shows, but those are not for points.





And yes, retained and abcessed teeth are faulted and should be seen by a vet. The bite needs to be fully developed because a wrong bite is faulted





So yes, your pap%26#039;s tooth should be taken care of FIRST.
Reply:You need to have that tooth extracted. Extra teeth aren%26#039;t allowed in a lot of breeds. Consult the breed standard.


If you can wiggle it, you can get it out yourself...

When will my puppy loose her puppy teeth?

My 3 month old puppy have some very sharp puppy teeth. Like they all do. When will they start to fall out and her second set of teeth come in?

When will my puppy loose her puppy teeth?
They will probably start to fall out pretty soon, since it normally starts around 3-4 months; our rottweiler had all of his adult teeth by the time he was 5-months-old, but all dogs are different.
Reply:Here is a link that you may want to visit.





http://dogs.about.com/cs/disableddogs/a/...





I believe that it says that puppies start to loose their first set of teeth at around three months of age.





Good luck and I hope I helped you!
Reply:you won%26#039;t see them fall out. they might have already fell out. but i think they start to loose them around three to four months. and i am sure your dog is going to loose them soon.
Reply:They usually start loosing their baby teeth around 4 months... All new teeth in at around 6 months. There are a few breeds that are slower to get their adult teeth.

Can puppy teeth that dont come out be bad?

my Min-Pin still has one of his puppy teeth still behind the big K-9 on the top. will it ever come out , or is it bad to still have it in there

Can puppy teeth that dont come out be bad?
Cripes,people....if you don%26#039;t know what you%26#039;re talking about...shut UP!!





Yes,if your pup has all his other %26quot;baby%26quot; teeth gone %26amp; the survivor isn%26#039;t even loose(can you wiggle it?) %26amp; he%26#039;s over 6 mons.-give or take- get it PULLED!! It CAN rot, CAN cause mallacclusion,WILL catch debris to cause more problems.





No big deal.
Reply:Sometimes you need to get them pulled.
Reply:no your puppy should be ok.


sometimes the puppies teeth don%26#039;t fall out.


i have 3 dogs, %26amp; they still have some of their baby teeth, in their mouths.


i just keep an eye on them, %26amp; make sure their teeth don%26#039;t get infected.


sometimes their teeth fall out %26amp; grow back looking like baby teeth.


your puppy will be fine.
Reply:well maybe it will come out you will have to just wait otherwise go to the doctors
Reply:If it is hurting your lil friend then yes have it pulled
Reply:your vet should be able to take it out. it can rot and give your dog bad breath if you dont get it out.
Reply:It could make the dogs mouth hurt eventually ecspecially when they are eating. You should go to your local vet and ask him for advice though. I wouldn%26#039;t want to jepardize it by asking some people you don%26#039;t know and don%26#039;t really care about your dog.
Reply:no its not bad. One of my dogs loose her teeth constanly for crashing into doors when she runs to fast and when they fall out they dont grow back.
Reply:See a vet. It could cause problems.
Reply:Sometimes puppy teeth just don%26#039;t come out on their own. If it isn%26#039;t easily pulled out by you, take her to the vet and he can remove it.
Reply:No they just need them pulled my collie had to have all of them pulled.
Reply:Like people, dogs can have tooth problems ranging from retained baby teeth and malocclusion to tooth decay. Since a healthy mouth depends on healthy teeth, pet owners should periodically check pet teeth, provide chew bones and toys, use biscuit treats so Boomer has to exercise his jaws, and feed a kibbled diet.





The roots of baby teeth should be absorbed as adult teeth erupt, but if this absorption is retarded, the baby tooth does not give way to the new tooth. Retained baby teeth can cause a bad bite -- a malocclusion -- that can lead to tooth decay and other problems later on. If a baby tooth does not fall out when the adult tooth grows in, it should be removed
Reply:If the puppy tooth does not come out, then it will have to be pulled out by the vet. I have seen this in a rescue. The tooth was pulled when he was neutered.


One of my own, I thought was going to have that problem. She eventually lost the tooth. Give it until 6-9 months and then show the vet.

Retained puppy teeth?

Does anyone know around what it costs to have retained puppy teeth removed? My eight month old has 3 canines that need to come out. Thanks!

Retained puppy teeth?
Prices vary from vet and location, the weight of the dog also is a factor in determining the price. Call your local vet and ask.
Reply:floss between them 2 x a day and they will usually come out on their own. My toy poodle kept hers until she had her first b day, then they fell out. I kept them clean by flossing and brushing with a baby toothbush, no problems, no huge vet bill, no anesthesia....healthy dog. (spayed pet!) aka the Dirty Cottonball
Reply:Agree with the floss. My sister%26#039;s rat terrier is the same age, has two sets of teeth...baby and adult. Someone told her to use floss and it%26#039;s been working.
Reply:I%26#039;ve usually had customers have them removed when the dog is already out to be spayed/neutered.





As far as costs, that will depend on where you live and what size dog it is and also if the dog has any special issues about being anesthitized.





Call your vet and ask. Call other vets. If you can combine it with a spay or something else it may be cheaper.





Flossing and leaving them in for a year, can deform the shape of the bite IMHO. I prefer to get them out sooner rather than later. They are called deciduous puppy teeth AFAIK.
Reply:Has she been spayed yet? It will cost you less if you have them pulled while she%26#039;s under anesthesia for her spay -- that way you don%26#039;t have to pay for anesthesia twice, etc (and she doesn%26#039;t have to go through it twice too!).
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard wildly different amount. anywhere from $20-100. call around for the best price. also have it done during spay and neuter surgery, its less expensive because your puppy will already be out for the surgery.
Reply:they will come out naturally. give them time. some dogs it takes longer than others.
Reply:My chihuahua had his out when he was neutered. Think about having a microchip implanted then to. That way, he is only put out once and receives some pain medicine for it all. I had to feed a little baby food for the next day because he stopped eating.
Reply:Does your dog eat bones? Real ones I mean, the meaty kind? This is supposed to help with teething and retained deciduous teeth.





Dogs can teeth over several months so they may just be taking their time.

Myy puppies, puppy teeth have rotten, is this bad ?

the two bottom sharp teeth of my german shepherd puppy have become black, is this bad if so what shall i do

Myy puppies, puppy teeth have rotten, is this bad ?
Yes, black teeth are not a good thing. As a responsible pet owner, you need to take him to the vet and have that checked out. It could be causing him pain. Also, that is fairly unusual, so there may be some underlying issues that needs to be addressed.
Reply:yes it is bad you must be feeding him foods with high sugar levels in them, you should be feeding him dry biscuits which clean his teeth and then you would not get this problem. Take him to the vet before the situation deteriorates and they start giving him discomfort that%26#039;s if it isn%26#039;t already. Take him to the vet and they will get them polished up. If your teeth were rotten wouldn%26#039;t you want them fixed? would you think that its bad if they were your teeth? its the same for the dog.
Reply:That sounds like peridontis disease. If your dog will let you try to take a dental tool (the hook shaped one and see if it scrapes off. It should come off like an eggshell. Make sure you get slightly under the gums as well. If your dog will not let you take him to the vet to get a dental cleaning. Peridontis disease allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream through the gumline and can make your dog very ill. You can prevent this by feeding a good quality dry food and limiting or negating wet food from the diet. Brushing your dogs teeth once a week and giving carrots for treats helps too. Rope toys act as dental floss to get tartar and plaque from between the teeth. The gumline is a sensative area on dogs and needs proper care.
Reply:That is not a good sign take the dog to the vet and have the teeth checked.

Puppy Teeth Missing???

My puppy who is almost 5 months old is losing his bottom teeth!!!!!! Is this normal????I%26#039;m freaked out and I am confused about this.HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puppy Teeth Missing???
Completely normal. Dogs have two sets of teeth like humans. Don%26#039;t fret.
Reply:Of course it%26#039;s normal.. They lose their sharp puppy teeth and they are replaced with their not so sharp, but alot bigger, adult teeth.
Reply:Very normal. He will get another set, just like people do. Provide him with lots of safe chew toys; nylabones, Kongs etc as he will be teething until he%26#039;s a year or so old, now.
Reply:Just like kids loose their teeth, and grow in adult teeth, pups do too. It is normal for him to loose the baby teeth, and he will soon grow in bigger adult teeth.
Reply:That is normal. Just like children, puppies have to loose their baby teeth to get their adult teeth! Sometime you will find them around the house somewhere, but sometimes they accidentally swallow them!... Either way is normal.... Good luck! : )
Reply:It%26#039;s normal, it also means he should be neutered in the next month or so. Not to fret, he%26#039;ll grow his adult teeth in shortly. :
Reply:yeah just like people they loose their baby teeth
Reply:Puppies do start to lose their teeth around 4 months old but you should be able to see the new nubs of the adult teeth coming in soon after the puppy teeth fall out. Check his gums for nubs and if you don%26#039;t see any have the vet check him out.
Reply:It%26#039;s normal for puppies and kittens to loose teeth just like young children loose baby teeth... it%26#039;s just most of the time we don%26#039;t see the process becuase their teeth is usually small and we don%26#039;t see it fall out 9 times out of 10 the animals usually swallow it....
Reply:Perfectly normal. Dogs have 2 sets of teeth, their puppy teeth which fall out and their adult teeth which will grow in as the puppy teeth fall out. The puppy teeth will probably get swallowed which is no big deal but you may be on the lookout for those little teeth on the floor.
Reply:Hes getting his big teeth.... ya its normal... he is now getting big strong teeth so now he will be able to play tug-a-war with sticks and eat harder food and bite the mail man and the mail man wont think its that cute anymore..... but ya its normail... their will be teeth again
Reply:If you find them, you might leave them for the doggy tooth fairy. LOL But, like everyone said, it is normal. Kudos to you for being a caring mom.
Reply:Please stop hitting your pets in the mouth.

Puppy and their teeth..?

This may be a stupid question but I want to know.....





Besides when I was a kid, Im pretty much a first time dog owner, Do puppies actually lose thier puppy teeth like humans? and if they do, about what age does this usally happen?





thankyou!

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 ;-)

Unaligned puppy teeth?

My 4 %26amp;1/2 maltese puppy 2 front and bottom teeth aren%26#039;t aligned. Each tooth from each set is slightly more %26quot;forward%26quot; than the other. I%26#039;m very worried if there is a big problem. Is this normal or not? i%26#039;m afraid that my nephew tugged away her toys from her mouth too hard.

Unaligned puppy teeth?
Well she is just starting to lose her baby teeth, why don%26#039;t you wait to see what happens when the adult teeth come in. I don%26#039;t think that your nephew is moving your puppy%26#039;s teeth.. Did you buy the dog to breed, or is she a pet?
Reply:If they%26#039;re puppy teeth, they%26#039;re gonna fall out anyway. Just wait and see when the adult teeth come in. If they come in crooked, consult your vet. There are ways to align them, or they may even decide to pull them.
Reply:my baby shiba inu had crooked teeth that i noticed and then a week to two weeks later they were fine....the crooked ones are loose baby teeth and the straight ones are either new teeth or still anchored baby teeth....i thought something was wrong too....but he is fine now...just wait a week or two and check them again....my pup is 5 months now and his bottom row are starting to go out....
Reply:It is typical for most small breeds to have this problem. Puppy teeth are just that... They will fall out and should straighten up. You will want to look at the jaw alignment more than anything at this point.





Also, to take into consideration, it is typical of small breeds to get their adult teeth in without loosing their puppy teeth. This usually happens with the front teeth on top and bottom, especially the canines. If they do not fall out on their own, you will need to get them pulled by your Vet.
Reply:Yes, she%26#039;s still in her puppy teeth stage but the teeth you%26#039;re talking about (her incisors if they%26#039;re the very front one) are probably adults at this point (others like the canines, or fangs, will still be babys).


A lot of dogs have poorly aligned teeth that are a bit crooked - I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it too much but if her mouth is too crowded and it is causing problems (or likely to cause problems) talk to your vet about it - they might opt to remove some teeth at spay or neuter time at 6 months.
Reply:http://lowchensaustralia.com/health/teet... will tell you more than you wanted to know about teeth, including the age range at which various teeth tend to erupt.





http://www.akc.org/breeds/maltese/ will tell you that a Maltese%26#039;s bite should either be edge-to-edge or scissor. For a scissor bite the top incisors should be just far-enough forward to slide down the front of the bottom incisors if they kept going.





In almost all breeds there are blood-lines which produce overshot mouths, meaning that the top teeth are further ahead than is proper for a scissor bite. Some of those bloodlines are only temporarily overshot - in my breed, anything no worse than 1/8th inch overshot at 6 months is almost certain to come right by adulthood, but I cannot guess what distance offers hope for a Maltese. Other blood-lines stay over-shot and should be neutered..





Dogs with incorrect mouths should NOT be bred from, but puppy-millers don%26#039;t let THAT stop them, and many BYBreeders won%26#039;t even know what overshot means.





Slightly overshot is not a problem for a neutered pet. It becomes a problem only when so major that the pooch cannot feed properly.





Crooked teeth are another issue. In most cases the permanent tooth is supposed to push the deciduous tooth out of the way - easily done, because at the right stage the root of the deciduous tooth is dissolved. But sometimes the dissolving starts too slowly, so that the permanent tooth has to grow at an angle BESIDE the deciduous tooth - some people are able to grasp the deciduous tooth between finger %26amp; thumb and pull, but most wisely go to their vet to make sure that the right tooth is the one that gets pulled on!


And some dogs have such poor genetics that their teeth are irregularly spaced and pointing at all sorts of angles.





The better the breeder you got her from, the less likely she is to have a %26quot;mouth%26quot; problem. But if you got her from a pet shop or a puppy mill or a BYB, who knows?

Teething puppy: Teeth look weird?

I have a 3.5 month old husky lab. I realize she is right at teething age, but am noticing someting about her canines that looks strange to me. I am wondering, though, if they are normal. All four canines look like they have started to bend outward. There seems to be a bit of a ridge right before the bend where it looks like that part of the tooth is trying to grow straight upward. Is this what it%26#039;s supposed to look like when the puppy teeth shed and the adult ones come in? Thanks!

Teething puppy: Teeth look weird?
im not so sure about them growing out but my dogs tooth grew out when a nother one grew behind it i would take to the vet just in case it may cause eating problems u may have to buy softer food for its mouth when it starts eating it
Reply:I have had a few pups and i dont remember how they come in. I searched a link up and I hope it helps you out.
Reply:take her to a vet you don%26#039;t have to risk

Dog losing it's puppy teeth, kind of.....?

My puppy is losing his puppy teeth, however the top left puppy canine hasn%26#039;t fallen out but has been bent over to lay flat on the roof of his mouth. The adult canine is growing in. He%26#039;s a real squirmer and it%26#039;s hard to get in his mouth but when I am able I can %26quot;hook%26quot; his baby tooth, but it doesn%26#039;t move that easily. Will this tooth eventually fall out or will I need to get a vet involved? He%26#039;s a rat terrier. Thanks for your help

Dog losing it%26#039;s puppy teeth, kind of.....?
Those are the milk teeth. It is a natural process and they fall out when it%26#039;s time -- I don%26#039;t think you should have to interfere. If you think a teeth needs to be pulled, the vet should have a look at it.
Reply:You can still wait a bit to see if it falls out on its own, but if it doesn%26#039;t, and the adult tooth is coming in quickly, it%26#039;ll need to be pulled or it could cause him to have problems with his teeth as he gets older.
Reply:Your vet probably needs to take a look to avoid any problems.
Reply:Give it time to fall out on it%26#039;s own. It%26#039;s not umcommon for pups to still have one or two remaining deciduous (puppy) teeth intact while adult teeth are present. If by the time you have him neutered (6mos) it still hasn%26#039;t fallen out, while he is being neutered the Vet can pull the remaining puppy teeth for a small fee (usually $30 per tooth).
Reply:Yiou may want to call a vet.


If you are planning on getting the pup fixed it might be worth waiting and the vet can take care of then. It would be easier when the dog is already out.

Problems with Puppy Teeth?

My dog is 4 months old and started to lose his puppy teeth. The only problem is he%26#039;s been sleeping a lot and he wont eat much food. We feed him sold gold wolf king, some Merrick can food, and a little of pumpkin and ground beef heart. (he%26#039;s well feed). I figured the dry food was to hard for his teeth, so I gave him only the can food and he ate more than usual. Is this normal for this to happen to puppies? Any suggestions on how to help the teething process beside teething rings etc.?

Problems with Puppy Teeth?
The wet food is richer than the dry food, while the wet food is easier for him to eat, it may have upset his stomach just a little bit. Try softening the dry food with a little bit of water before mixing it in with the wet. Other than that, yeah sounds completely normal.
Reply:Sounds normal to me.
Reply:Its normal. Probably not eating because his mouth is a little sore. I have pre-moistened the dry food just a little, or mixed in some cottage cheese to make it irresistable in the past. My puppies tended to go for it, and crunch their teeth right out. Looking at it on screen, it sounds a little mean, but if hes got teeth coming in, then the wet food should be fine :)
Reply:puppies seem to sleep alot and they eat what they want or until they get their full they know when the have had enough but if you are worried then take him to the vet to be on the safe side. sometimes it depends where they have lost their tooth and they might have a hard time chewing. Give him chew toys to chew on and teething ring and so forth. also give him puppy food that isnt as hard as dog food and he should be on puppy food anyhow. Try moistureing his food with water or broth or a little bit of milk to much can food isnt good for him and it could bound him up and he would have a hard time going poo
Reply:It%26#039;s normal. Your puppy is not eating much because his gums are sore, common for teething puppies. You can get a puppy kong, freeze it and give it to your puppy to chew on. Frozen kong toy will help soothe his sore gums.

Are puppy's teeth supose to fall?

You know that our teeth fall so we could get strong adult teeth. DO puppy teeth fall too. I am worried.

Are puppy%26#039;s teeth supose to fall?
Sometime around 3 months of age the pups teeth will begin to loosen.You will notice increased chewing when this starts to happen.Several weeks to a month after that,the baby teeth will begin to fall out.Most all dogs have lost all their baby teeth and have adult teeth by 7 months of age.
Reply:yes
Reply:yes puppies loose their teeth. My puppy has just lots them all I found about four of them i think she ate the others or i just vacuumed them. It is perfectly normal.
Reply:Do not worry. I have a golden retriever, and I got him as a puppy. His teeth did fall out, and were replaced with bigger ones!
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry! Puppy teeth fall out too so the adult teeth can grow in. This, normally, happens, so I heard, at age of 2 month old to 5 month old.


Don%26#039;t worry at all about it.


I know around that age but not sure exact what age. Trust me on this one.
Reply:yes. don%26#039;t expect to find many though. I found three teeth in all, and we kept a close watch on her. Puppies generally eat them, so don%26#039;t be worried if you don%26#039;t find many.
Reply:yes, and they grow back; just like human teeth.
Reply:Yes! Puppies are just like kids. They lose their first set of teeth, so that their permanent/adult teeth can grow in.
Reply:Yes, they are referred to as milk teeth.
Reply:yes all mammals do i think... 1 time my dad wuz holding my chihuahua and his tooth fell out! it waz soo small
Reply:yes..around 4 mos of age their teeth will start falling out and their permanent teeth will follow real fast....this is just as normal for dogs and cats as it is for humans





by 5-6 mos old he/she will have all brand new shiny white adult teeth
Reply:Yes, I managed to keep one of each of my girls puppy teeth for their books.

Losing Puppy teeth?

My puppy is nine months old. I haven%26#039;t found any puppy teeth and in her mouth it doesn%26#039;t LOOK like she lost any. She should have lost them by now, right? I was just wondering what you all think.


(She does have some crooked teeth and when she was really young she didn%26#039;t have an underbite, now as she grew, she does.It%26#039;s kinda cute though.)

Losing Puppy teeth?
Are you sure your pup does not have retained teeth? It happens usually in toy breeds and I am not sure what kind you have. What happens is they keep their baby teeth as the adult teeth try to come in and it pushes the adult teeth out of line which can cause the under bite your seeing now. If you are absoultely sure he never lost his baby teeth make an appointment at the vet.
Reply:Puppies usually have the perm. teeth by 9 months, at least in our breed.
Reply:don%26#039;t worry about it my dogs did not fall out until she was about 1 year old.
Reply:She should actually have all of her adult teeth by now. Puppy (milk) teeth usually start to fall out around 4 months, and adult teeth should all be in by 7 or 8 months. But you might not have even noticed that her baby teeth were falling out, I`ve only actually seen a couple of my puppy`s. He`s lost quite a few, and they often swallow them because they are so tiny.





Have the vet take a look, just to be sure. If you are getting her spayed soon, the vet will probably remove any remaining baby teeth while she is `under`.
Reply:all of her puppy teeth shouldve fallen out by now. and they can swallow their teeth so you usually wont find them.
Reply:Your dog should be fine, by now all of her puppy teeth are more thna likely gone, plus you usually don;t see them because they swallow them most of the time, I only saw one or two when my dog lost her%26#039;s so I wouldn;t worry about it.
Reply:It all depends on the puppy just like with babies some are slower then others in looseng their teeth and getting their adult teeth. My King is 9 mos old and he has all of his adutl teeth. He is a german shepard nlack lab mix. Sometimes they will loose there teeth and you wont find them laying around I never found any of Kings. If it would make you feel better call your vet and ask him about.

Reply:This is completley natural, all puppies loose their baby teeth to make room for the adult ones. I remember doing the same with one of mine a while back and he would eat them as soon as they came out, which i didnt like so i used to have to open his mouth up whenever i saw him chewing but hadnt been given anything so i could pinch it before it ended up in his tummy.
Reply:yes


they do loose there puppy teeth


.so don%26#039;t worry they were probably ready to come out soon any way
Reply:Yeah, they do. One of my puppy%26#039;s teeth came out when she was chewing on the corner of a cushion and the tooth just got stuck in there.





Don%26#039;t worry about speeding up the regrowth or anything. It%26#039;s a natural process and it will happen on its own.
Reply:No, Puppies lose their milk teeth at about 7 months. If your puppy is close to that age, then you are fine. Have fun with your puppy!

Puppy's milk teeth?

Well, my puppy hasn%26#039;t lost his yet, but I just realised they have those too while reading some questions here(wow). By then would it be totally okay for him to swallow the milk teeth? ...Not that I can think of how to make sure he doesn%26#039;t swallow them anyway... but what should I do then? Will it hurt when they drop? Should I expect blood? Should I try to stop bleeding by any methods?





And I also heard adult teeth will be less sharp than their puppy teeth? Is that true =D? Because damn, his nips hurt!

Puppy%26#039;s milk teeth?
Adult teeth are a lot less sharp than puppy teeth. You don%26#039;t need to worry about the bleeding or anythign else.. Lots to chew on, and he%26#039;ll be fine.. Don%26#039;t worry about him swallowing the teeth... most puppies swallow many of their teeth. It doesn%26#039;t hurt them.
Reply:his teeth will fall out and yes he could swallow them and you wont%26#039; even notice. they are sorta less sharp but they will hurt if you dont%26#039; teach him tostop biting. there is no reason to have him biting its unexceptable. they won%26#039;t bleed and hurt him and you will not notice. take care.
Reply:you%26#039;ll probably never notice. He%26#039;ll swallow most if not all of them. It%26#039;s painless - just like losing your baby teeth.
Reply:You probably won%26#039;t be able to catch every single one that he loses. My puppy has lost quite a few, and I%26#039;ve actually only seen about 3 come out, and I watch him like a hawk. It is safe for them to swallow them, they are so tiny it is unlikely that the puppy will have any trouble passing the little teeth.





I haven%26#039;t seen any blood... although one of his stuffed toys had a touch of pink on it the other day, but no biggie. His new teeth won%26#039;t be as sharp... but you do want to teach him NOT to bite, because as he grows he%26#039;ll have a much more forceful bite. Don%26#039;t take your chances with that one :D





What I do for my pup, to ease his teething pain, is take an old sock or dish towel, run it under water, and put it in the freezer for a few hours. The cold helps to soothe their sore gums, and most puppies love to sink their teeth into something soft.





Good luck with the pup!
Reply:They sometimes ingest them-- there shouldn%26#039;t be much blood. Most people don%26#039;t even notice when they lose them. This is usually a piece of cake. Permanent teeth are larger (less cat like).
Reply:well it%26#039;s just like a person, the puppy will spit the teeth out, there might be blood, but it%26#039;s nothing to worry about





and yes, the teeth will be less sharp but will still hurt when he bites
Reply:Yeah, they can swallow them, its not a big deal. My youngest dog swallowed nearly all of his...and it was okay. I found a few tho, and kept them (I know, I%26#039;m weird lol) Most of the time the pupy doesnt realize they are losing teeth. There will be a little bit of blood but dont be worried, its normal. Make sure to check the dogs mouth frequently because sometimes the adult teeth push through before the puppy teeth fall out. They can get infected. If this is happening to your dog, the vet will usually pull the tooth out when the puppy is getting fixed (please tell me the puppy is getting fixed!!)





and yes (thank god) adult teeth are a lot duller than puppy teeth. Getting bit by a puppy is so painful....its like they got a little mouth full of razor blades! Ouch!!
Reply:Most pups will swallow them and this is perfectly natural. However my pup actually spit them out and I have all of her baby teeth! If you are really attached to your pup see if you can%26#039;t at least grab one to save. But don%26#039;t worry about him swallowing them, he%26#039;ll be fine.
Reply:He will swallow most of his baby teeth. Some he will spit out and let me tell ya...those little boogers are NO fun to step on!! He will be fine if he swallows them. Don%26#039;t worry about bleeding. There will be very little to none. Puppies chew during this stage too and may make themselves bleed trying to cut teeth. The bleeding will stop on it%26#039;s own don%26#039;t worry.





OH and teething HURTS!! to dull his pain a cheap easy method is to just give them an ice cube to chew on as the cold will feel good on a hurting mouth. You can also soak a rope toy/sock/washcloth...anything absorbent really in water and freeze it overnight. the ice cubes make for quicker clean up and barely leave any wetness on the floor (i%26#039;ve noticed that the rope toys take FOREVER to dry when wet and the towels are soggy.)
Reply:I don%26#039;t really understand what you are saying...BUT puppy%26#039;s teeth or duller than adults

My puppy's adult teeth are growing in, but his puppy teeth haven't fallen out yet.. Should I be worried?

My puppy is about 5 months old and his canine teeth are coming in. However, his puppy canine teeth are still in also. Do I need to take him to the vet to have them removed, or will they just fall out in time?

My puppy%26#039;s adult teeth are growing in, but his puppy teeth haven%26#039;t fallen out yet.. Should I be worried?
As someone that works as an assistant at a vet clinic, puppy teeth usually fall out on their own. Dogs are like humans, no two dogs follow the same maturing process, just like kids. Some specific breeds of dogs have worse dental problems than others. The best thing to do is if you are worried, is to take him to the vet and have them looked at. At all worst, you may get charged an office visit. If you can not afford it at this time, keep a close eye on them. Check for loose ones. Sometimes they fall out and you don%26#039;t even know it. Make sure that he has plenty of chew toys. If it starts to look like the teeth are crowding or there is discoloration in the gums or bleeding, take him to the vet as soon as possible.
Reply:They will fall out by themselves. dun worry, be happy! Let nature take its place!Have fun .
Reply:I would take the puppy to your vet. My pom had the same problem and the vet removed the baby teeth.


I had it done when she was spade, while she was asleep they took them out
Reply:Its ok, the puppy teeths will fall out as the adult teeth replaced it. I asked the same question to my vet,when my dog was teething.
Reply:When he goes in to be neutered (in the next 4 weeks, prior to maturity), the vet can have a look and if they are still there, they can take any remaining baby teeth out during his surgery. This will save you money on anesthesia and pain meds.





But yes, they do need to come out.
Reply:if you are very concerened you should take him to the vet to make sure his teeth are fine. His other teeth will probably fall out soon though
Reply:wiggle the baby teeth to help them along
Reply:This does sound unusual, I would call and ask my vet, then go by what he or she says.
Reply:They will probably fall out on their own. Certain breeds like Yorkies can often have more of a problem with this, but it%26#039;s not a big deal. If they don%26#039;t come out by the time the new ones are fully in, then I would take him in. I discovered my puppy had 2 full rows of teeth one day and 2 days later they were all gone. make sure he has plenty of good chew toys to help lodge them out!
Reply:only worry if its bothering him.go to a vet and ask what to do about it....the most important thing is about how your dog feels.
Reply:As the new ones come in under the puppy teeth, they will push the puppy teeth out. If you start to notice things like the puppy and adult tooth in a double row, then take the dog to the vet because it will probably need to have puppy teeth pulled.





Expect to find lots of puppy teeth where you would least expect them in the next month!
Reply:The puppy teeth will fall out naturally.
Reply:If they don%26#039;t fall out within the next month or so take him in and see what the vet says.They won%26#039;t hurt him for now and it is not unusual at all.
Reply:No, don%26#039;t worry. That%26#039;s perfectly normal. As their adult teeth come in, they will lose their baby teeth. It may take a little while, but it will take care of itself.
Reply:You should probably have the vet look at the teeth. He/she could tell you if the baby teeth need to be pulled. It happens sometimes, usually with smaller breeds, where the baby teeth just don%26#039;t fall out and it becomes necessary for them to be pulled.

Puppy teeth falling out - bloody root?

Just wondering if this is normal or not.





We have a 5 month old coonhound and his puppy teeth are starting to fall out. I%26#039;ve found a couple today (the first ones) but they are somewhat bloody at the root level.





Puppy is acting normal...eating, drinking, playing...but he%26#039;s had a couple raw hides today (checked with our vet, he OK%26#039;ed it). Also, I checked his mouth...he doesn%26#039;t have any glaring gaps...some nubby adult teeth, so it looks OK inside.





Is the bloody inside (for lack of a better word) of the teeth normal or should I be concerned?

Puppy teeth falling out - bloody root?
Yes, It may have come out before it was ready, but it won%26#039;t hurt anything. Completely normal.





Arent you glad he%26#039;s finally losing those puppy needle teeth!!!! I know I would be!
Reply:This is normal- he may have pulled it out chewing on something, it may have come out before the root totally dissolved. As long as he isn%26#039;t experiencing any pain, don%26#039;t worry about it. It%26#039;s normal. Just avoid the really hard toys until his adult teeth start coming in.
Reply:I%26#039;ve found a few teeth over the years that had some blood on them. And your puppy seems fine, so doesn%26#039;t sound like you need to worry.





One thing my puppies always appreciated was when I wet and old wash cloth, then froze it and gave it to them to chew on. Seemed to be soothing to sore gums. Also lots of toys of different textures to chew on while he%26#039;s teething will be appreciated by him.
Reply:it si nothing you know how kids teeth fall out well thats like dogs and so it will get better but it will hurt at first so you dont have to worry.
Reply:there%26#039;s nothing to worry about it is normal for that to happen especially if he was chewing on some raw hides, that just means that the teeth were loose when he chewed on the raw hides. so it is normal for it to happen.
Reply:Its fine
Reply:everything is normal and yes you will see some blood at the base of the tooth. when he is about 1-1 1/2 yrs. old he will start loosing his puppy molars. if you find them on the floor they look like tooth caps,this is normal also.
Reply:He/She probably is teething and it is normal think about it our teeth fall out and we got new ones well that is the same as dogs so don%26#039;t worry nothing is wrong! :)
Reply:this is normal, hes just loosing his baby teeth and it may be bloody from the raw hide bones. As long as he isnt in pain and is doing every thing else ok (eating, drinking, peeing, pooping) then he is fine

5 month old puppy Spay/puppy teeth removal?

I%26#039;m not certain, but my 5 month old female mini chihuahua may be going in to heat. No blood, but she is licking the %26quot;area%26quot; down there. I want to have her spayed ASAP, but the vet said we should try to wait until her puppy teeth fall out. His reason is because some small breeds%26#039; puppy teeth (some) never fall out, therefore causing the adult teeth to come in %26quot;crooked%26quot;.





-Do I spay her now and forget about the teeth?


-Do I spay her now and have all her puppy teeth removed surgically so to make certain the adult teeth don%26#039;t have problems coming in?


-Do I wait and risk her going in to heat? (Which I HATE the thought of)





Advice would be great!? Thanks!

5 month old puppy Spay/puppy teeth removal?
If this was my dog I would have her spayed now and have her puppy teeth removed while she is under anesthesia. That way you will avoid her heat cycle, which can be good for her health, and you will KNOW that her puppy teeth are out, so there are not teeth complications. You might have to pay a little more for having the teeth removed. But puppy teeth aren%26#039;t usually too hard to remove. Their roots are not nearly as long as an adult tooth.
Reply:Get her fixed. And get a new vet. Yours sounds like a whacko. Puppy teeth sometimes don%26#039;t all come out until the dog is a year old. Do you want her to be in heat until then? Do you want puppies?
Reply:It%26#039;s not uncommon for dogs that are 5 months old start their heat cycles. The average is about 6 months anyway.





I would get her spayed and forget about her baby teeth. My vet spays and neuters around 4 months of age, and he%26#039;s never mentioned pulling baby teeth. Your vet makes a valid point about some dogs who never loose their baby teeth, but maybe he%26#039;s just looking to make some more money by telling you to pull the teeth as long as your dog is sedated. He%26#039;ll probaby try to tell you that if you need to have the dog%26#039;s teeth pulled in the future, she%26#039;ll have to be sedated again and that%26#039;ll cost you extra, but don%26#039;t give in to his pressure. Do what you feel is right, not what he wants you to do. Put the emphasis on getting your dog spayed, and worry about her teeth if and when they ever pose a problem.
Reply:Listen to your vet, he%26#039;s qualified and educated to be able to tell you good advice. I wouldn%26#039;t risk teeth, I%26#039;d just keep her strictly indoors.


Seriously, your vet studied this for years. He actually knows what he%26#039;s doing, having the teeth removed surgically I think is a bit overkill.
Reply:You don%26#039;t want to risk a heat cycle. If you spay your dog before her first heat cycle she has no more than a 1% chance of developing mammary cancer. After her first heat her chances go up to 8%, and after her second heat they shoot all the way up to 28%. I think that risking having to pull teeth later is worth it. I would not want my dog%26#039;s teeth pulled unnecessary.
Reply:That sounds nutty.. I say get her fixed and don%26#039;t worry about the teeth. I have never heard that before.


Get a new vet.
Reply:My Vet recommends spaying at six months or older for reasons of hormones and development. Some dogs do come into heat earlier, but she could also be paying attention to the area if she has any infection, so you might want to get her Vet checked to make sure it isn%26#039;t the latter.


I had a German Shepherd Dog that went into heat just before turning six months old and I just waited until her first heat was fininshed and got her spayed immediately after.
Reply:i would go in person and let the vet look at her one of my chihuahuas had trouble with her teeth and one didnt!and remember ...when the little breed dogs get fixed it sometimes looks really bad and takes longer to heal than the bigger dogs...i guess they have thinner skin .the doctor said it would take time and i just cried when i would look at her belly but it looks real good now ...just watch it and have time for ur dog cause they like to lick on stitches ...definately need to watch in case they want to chew at their belly
Reply:Your vet is an IDIOT %26amp; YOU need a DIFFERENT ONE =ASAP!!!


SPAY TOMORROW don%26#039;t worry about stupid puppy teeth!!!





Do NOT pull ANY until, at LEAST 9-10 mons! Then you KNOW (instead of stupid FORTUNE-TELLING!!) if ANY need to be pulled .They usually do NOT!!
Reply:Go ahead and get her spayed ASAP. What on earth has that got to do with her teeth? That vet is out for the big bucks for sure! If her teeth are OK, leave them alone.
Reply:My advice is to go to another vet. I have #9 Chihuahuas, and I wouldn%26#039;t worry about the teeth. They will take care of themselves. I would just go ahead and get her spayed.

Puppy teeth - adult teeth???? 5 mounths?

my German shepherd puppy is five mouth old but still has puppy teeth do you know when his adult teeth will come in and his puppy ones fall out, as my friends dogs have all fallen out before they reach this age.





thanks

Puppy teeth - adult teeth???? 5 mounths?
soon, sometimes if you look you will see the adult teeth coming through and the pupy teeth still conected.let him chew on dental bones and hard toys then the baby teeth will loosen up.he will be showing a good set of chops before he is 7 to 8 mths old.
Reply:should be any time now. if he retains his puppy teeth for more than a few more weeks, consult your vet.
Reply:Usually, puppy teeth will start being replaced by adult teeth starting around 3 1/2 months. Sometimes, like in children, the baby teeth don%26#039;t fall out and will need help from a veterinarian to have them pulled to allow the adult teeth to come in and too prevent the adult teeth growing in incorrectly. Make sure you have lots of chew type toys so he can help loosen the baby teeth so they can allow the adult teeth to come in.
Reply:most dogs start the process of loosing their puppyteeth and growing in adult teeth between 4 and 8 motnhs of age. if he still has puppyteeth at the time of his neuter the vet will pull them to make room for the adult teeth, retained babyteeth is not uncommon.
Reply:awe puppies
Reply:My puppy just turmed 5 mos and she has all of her adult teeth either in or coming in. You might want to call your vet....they might want to check because they might have to pull some.
Reply:Dogs, like kids, will lose their teeth at different times. Give him until about 6-7 months old. If no teeth have come out by this time, then you may want to have him checked by a vet, just to be sure there is nothing bigger which is causing this.

I had my puppy drop by Vet this morning to have her puppy teeth pull. She is 7 months now, still have 9 puppy teeth. I can see her puppy k9 and adult k9, two set of upper front teeth. Why aren%26#039;t those teeth fall by itself?

Stubborn Puppy Teeth?
Sometimes and many times in small breeds this happens.


If they are not eating a hard chruchy diet or they do not chew sometimes they retain the puppy teeth.


Having your vet pull them is the best and easiest way to get it done and overwith. That way the adult teeth can get into the correct position and it will not do damage to the roots of the adult teeth.
Reply:Sometimes they fall out when they get older around 1 year old and sometimes they don%26#039;t fall out at all. My little dog had to go to the vet too at 7 months old to have his 4 baby canines taken out because they are not coming off and are causing problems to his jaw.
Reply:Did you give her enough teething toys to chew on?





They don%26#039;t just fall out. They have to be worked out same as human baby teeth.
Reply:It%26#039;s pretty common for small dogs. Louie retained his puppy canines too.
Reply:I%26#039;ve been told this happens alot with small breeds. I have a Pom puppy and the vets told me if that happens it%26#039;s best to have the teeth pulled at time of spay/neuter so they only have 1 surgery
Reply:You were at the best place this morning to get your answer...the VETS...why didn%26#039;t you ask them?
Reply:Happens a lot with small breeds, several dachshund I have had needed baby teeth pulled, as did a chi I had years ago.





Give the dog hard chewies, that sometimes helps, but the baby teeth usually come out easily - I have always had it done when they were unconscious at neutering or spaying, that way they don%26#039;t feel it and it isn%26#039;t an extra trip.





When you get your puppy spayed, have the vet check for baby teeth that need to come out.
Reply:Small breeds can get retained baby teeth.


The vet will probably have to pull them out.


They will have to put her under anesthesia and pull her teeth.

Puppy teeth and size of dog?

I have two dogs, one is about 10 months (Charlie)had I saved a few of his puppy teeth while he was teething. We just got another puppy (Lilly), who still has her puppy teeth she is about 3 months. I was comparing Lilly’s teeth to Charlie’s old teeth and I noticed her teeth were smaller then his. Dose this mean she will be smaller then him once she is full grown. They are both Mutts, so we have no projected size to assume. Is there a correlation between puppy teeth and the size of the dog? Just wondering! Thanks

Puppy teeth and size of dog?
not necessarily, but it%26#039;s a good indication. i%26#039;ve always found the size of the paws to be a better source for me to tell how big a dog will get.

Puppy teeth?

I have a 7 month old labrador and wanted to know when she would get her full set of adult teeth?

Puppy teeth?
She should finishing up with them over the next two months. Most dogs have a full mouth of adult teath by nine to ten months of age unless you are dealing with the giant breeds theres come in a little sooner.
Reply:She should have almost all of them by now or the next month.
Reply:my great dane is 6monthes and he has all of his adult now. he did between 4%26amp;5. play more tug of war?
Reply:average is about a year and a half. usually after a dog is that age, they are mature enough to go into heat also. thank god for regular teeth as they are playflu and bite to play, but are sharp as needles.
Reply:between 7 and 9 months is about right.
Reply:She should have her adult teeth soon.
Reply:The puppy teeth should just about be gone. Do not be concerned unless the teeth are crowding each other. If so, to the vet.
Reply:she should have her full set of teeth before their eight months of age

Puppy teeth.......?

What can I do to make teething less painful for my 9 week old puppy?

Puppy teeth.......?
The frozen toys suggestions are the way I go, it gives them a correct item (thier toys) to chew and the cold numbs the gums to reduce any pain. You can also just give the pup an ice cube a few times a day, my pup loves them and waits for me to give her another.
Reply:lots of wonderful chew toys is what I do...baby origel might work but puppy wont like it LOL main thing is too keep lots of good soft chew toys :)
Reply:Chewy toys, lots and lots of chewy toys. Try ropes, Kongs, hard ones like DentaBones, see what the puppy prefers. I don%26#039;t like rawhides or meat bones because they can swallow a chunk off both of these and have serious problems like intestinal blockages and such.
Reply:Teething really isn%26#039;t painful for them, but they do appreciate something to chew, like your fingers!


Buy some nylabone puppy packs, they come with three nylabones made just for puppies needs and they really like them.





Also, your puppy probably has a majority of it%26#039;s puppy teeth in, if not all. They start coming in at about 3 weeks old.
Reply:Get a small rope toy. Wet lightly (don%26#039;t soak) and put in freezer. Leave it there for a few hours. Then give it to your puppy. The cold rope is very soothing.
Reply:Get a kong toy, fill it with water and freeze it.


My dogs love it.


You can fill it with peanut butter too.
Reply:Find an appropriate sized bone for your pup to chew on, put it in the freezer to get it good %26amp; cold. Baby will enjoy emensley.


Also you can rub some baby teething ointment on the gums.





Good Luck :)
Reply:I have found they really like the knots in the ropes when teething.
Reply:The key thing is to provide a variety of toys %26amp; chews of varying textures and hardness. My puppy loves the rope toys, plush animals with a squeaker in it, pig ears, Kongs, etc. The only thing she doesn;t like is the more expensive Nyla-bone! lol... Also - find a stick for him/her to chew on and be prepared to vacuum the mess afterwards.
Reply:Wet an old wash cloth and put it in the freezer. When completely frozen give to pup. It helps to sooth the teething problem.
Reply:My puppy is teething right now, and her favorite thing to chew recently has beed the eyes off of any stuffed animal we have laying around (she won%26#039;t swallow them, we%26#039;ve found eyes all over the living room). We also bought her some nylabone toys that she wouldn%26#039;t touch before, but now that her teeth are coming in, she has really dug into. Hope your puppy feels better soon!

Puppy teeth?

Are dogs like humans and have two sets of teeth or do they only have one set?

Puppy teeth?
Pups will lose their baby teeth and get their adult teeth between 4-6 months.
Reply:Puppies can have 2 sets of teeth as they are getting their new teeth in at around 4 mo. The baby teeth will eventually fall out and of course the new teeth take their place. So its perfectly normal to see 2 sets of teeth briefly.
Reply:dogs puppy teeth fall out just like ours
Reply:dogs do have 2 sets of teeth like humnas, i have pomeraninans and when they are cutting their adult teeth theie baby teeth are in a diffrent row so it looks like they have 2 rows of teeth, the baby teeth fall out eventually
Reply:They have two sets. They should lose their baby teeth and then get their adult teeth.
Reply:Puppies, like us, have baby teeth. During the teething stage, they loose their baby teeth, to make room for the permanent ones to come in.

Puppy teeth?

My toy poodle is 5 months old and her baby teeth are starting to fall out. I%26#039;m worried that she%26#039;ll swallow her teeth. Should I try to pull out her loose tooth, take her to the vet, or just leave it alone? Does anyone know what will happen if she does swallow her tooth?

Puppy teeth?
Just don%26#039;t worry about it. She probably won%26#039;t swallow it..





even if she swallows it she%26#039;ll be fine.


I%26#039;ve swallowed one of mine before.
Reply:Do not pull her loose teeth out. You are more afraid of her swallowing one tiny tooth than pulling one out of her mouth. Leave the puppy%26#039;s teeth alone. I have never ever heard of anything bad happening to a puppy if it did happen. Your concerns should be voiced to your dog%26#039;s vet.
Reply:This is a normal process, they usually fall out on there own without any problems, if she swallows it, its most likely too small to cause any damage. You can always call and ask you vet.
Reply:dont pull the teeth out they will fall out when they are ready.. it doesnt matter if the dog swallows them.. it will pass..i dont think it needs a trip to the vet
Reply:nature has it%26#039;s ways it%26#039;s been happaning for hundreds of years dont wory about it
Reply:Just leave the pup alone. Dogs usually don%26#039;t need any help when they are losing their baby teeth. The exception would be sometimes a baby tooth doesn%26#039;t come out on it%26#039;s own before the adult tooth starts coming in. When this happens the vet will pull the baby tooth. Please don%26#039;t try to pull the baby teeth there is a chance of damaging her gums and causing her more pain. It is a good idea at this age to start brushing her teeth. My vet recommends daily or at least 5 times a week. Small dogs are prone to tooth decay and other teeth related problems as they get older.
Reply:Don%26#039;t pull the teeth, let nature run its coarse, also come to think about it I have not found very many of my dogs teeth, if memory serves me right, maybe I found one lol, my mom ware the wheels off the vacuum cleaner! Or maybe they do swallow them! hrm...
Reply:Don%26#039;t pull her teeth. They should just come out on their own and the timing is about right. If you are going to have the dog spayed, my Vet wouldn%26#039;t do it till she lost her baby teeth. She lost the last one right at 6 months and then I had her spayed.
Reply:If she swallows her teeth, they will just come out in her poop, no need to panic.
Reply:DO NOT PULL -- you could hurt that puppy, and it%26#039;s perfectly normal for them to swallow some of their teeth, so don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:Nooooooooooooo! Noooooooooo! Noooooooooo! Nooooooooooooo!





NO! DO NOT DO THIS. The tooth will pass out the other end. It will not hurt her, give her chew toys and raw bones, (Not cooked) to help with this and teething, also dry kibbles. Can food is bad for dog%26#039;s teeth, Dry kibbles (Preferred dry dog food here) will help with her adult teeth, this helps to make them strong and healthy.





And if you do attempt this feeling the urge regardess of what anyone says, you have a 90% chance of geting bit, and a not so trusting dog!


(Now, put down the plyers, and get away from the dog! Holy shmoolie! When dental students yank! yikes!)
Reply:Dogs eat hard bones and objects that they shouldn%26#039;t eat. I wouldn%26#039;t concern yourself to much about it, but if you notice that she has blood in her stool then that%26#039;s something to be concerned about and thats when you want to call a vet. If perhaps her teeth don%26#039;t fall out and the adult grow in, you can have your vet extract the baby teeth and all should be well. Good luck :)
Reply:some more teething treats are frozen washcloths and frozen plain bagels.

Puppy teeth?

I%26#039;ve heard that puppies loose their baby teeth and grow adult teeth just like children. Is this true? When does this happen?

Puppy teeth?
Yes puppies lose their teeth. When your pup loses a tooth try watering down their food to meake it soggy for them to eat.
Reply:Yes, they do. Usually within their first year or two.
Reply:Yes, and it also happens with cats. Puppies might start losing them about 3 to 4 months I think. Don%26#039;t be alarmed if you find a tooth on the floor one day, it%26#039;s just your pet growing up.
Reply:Yep!! I can%26#039;t tell you how many puppy teeth I found around the house at various times with different dogs....They will lose their puppy teeth around 4 to 6 months...I saved all the puppy teeth I could as a momento
Reply:depends
Reply:Be sure to watch for eating problems. Your pup might need his food softened with water or broth for a week or two. The above answer is correct. They lose them beginning at 15 or 16 weeks . They start with the front and work to the back.
Reply:Yes, this is absolutely true. Depending on the breed of dog and the individual puppy, teething usually takes place from four or five months of age to one year old. The adult teeth come in by seven or eight months old, but they take a while to completely settle into the dog%26#039;s mouth.





Again, this timing varies by breed and by individual dog (kind of like how different people finish growing adult teeth at different times), but all dogs do it.
Reply:Yes it is true they will lose them. They usually swallow them. They start losing them around 3-4 months old. When you play with you can look and sometimes find then in a toy or on the floor. I found 4 of my dogs baby teeth.
Reply:Yes, I was suprised by it too. I came home one day and saw blood on one of my dog chew dog. First I tho he had some kind of teeth problem. And I opened his mouth and saw his missing tooth.





After that, I bought some of those ice chew toys that you can put in the ref. before giving it to your dog. It is a relief for them. Or you can try give them small chuck of ice to chew.

Puppy teeth?

Okay, i know puppies lose baby teeth. My pup is 5months old and she just lost her first. But i was wondering how many teeth they lose and which ones? Does anyone know?

Puppy teeth?
Just like people, they lose all of them. Puppies start teething at about 3 months and finish between 7 - 8 months.
Reply:They loose all of them. Usually the smaller up front ones first and then the bigger ones.
Reply:Just like humans, they lose all %26#039;milk teeth%26#039; and get adult teeth in. Puppies have 28 baby teeth and when they%26#039;re grown... 48 adult teeth.
Reply:all of them,.... and usually they have all their adult teeth by the time they are 8 months of age.
Reply:The front ones! takes a while don%26#039;t worry!
Reply:i%26#039;m not very sure but if your very curiuos you should ask the vet
Reply:they loose them all


you dont realize because they usually swallow them and they grow back in quick
Reply:ask ur vet.
Reply:She will loose all just like everyone says but just make sure that she has the proper toys to chew on to help with the process.
Reply:Puppies will loose all of their milk teeth as they grow, but unless you are looking in their mouth you may not notice as the teeth tend to get swallowed, eaten or lost outside.


The tooth fairy does not have an easy job when it comes to curious, chewing and teething pups!
Reply:ah ha my pup has just got over all that..... our pups may be different breeds so i may not give the correct answer but my staffy pup lost his canine teeth at the front and i think the one%26#039;s behind that but i onli ever found 2 of his teeth but saw when he had gaps lol


hope i helped!?
Reply:They%26#039;ll lose/replace a few at a time, until all are replaced. If the teeth becomes too crowded, you%26#039;ll have to have some pulled.
Reply:I dont know if its the same for all dogs but mine only lost two of his back ones. But maybe i just never found the others...
Reply:Your puppie will lose all her teeth except the ones in the back





have a good day!!!! (-:

Puppy teeth?

When puppies are teething do they loose there teeth %26amp; get second ones to replace the first teeth?

Puppy teeth?
Yes they do!
Reply:Yes.
Reply:Yup.


They loose their baby teeth, and they get their big dog teeth. My dog did it between 4 %26amp; 6 months.
Reply:yes.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yup.


My boxer started losing her puppy teeth at 5 months and finished between 6 and 7 months. Most came out while she was playing tug of war ;)
Reply:Hmm. I always thought teething happens during the appearance of the baby teeth. I thought that they%26#039;d teeth because they aren%26#039;t yet used to having teeth and the teeth protruding out of their gums make their mouth itch which leads them to teething.
Reply:yes they do
Reply:Well.. when you were a baby, you lost your baby teeth and had adult teeth to replace those didn%26#039;t you?? Assuming that you are old enough to have lost your baby teeth..





Teeth don%26#039;t grow larger, they fall out and are replaced with bigger, and not so sharp adult teeth.
Reply:yes. They lose their puppy teeth around five months old, depending on the breed, and shiny big teeth come in fast and furious. It happens quick and most dogs are very uncomfortable.


Leash training should be minimal if at all during this time, as the pain of the pressure from the collar can set a puppy back.


They also want to chew a lot, so have lots of chew toys and kongs and pizzle/ bully sticks are great!
Reply:yes





they loose their teeth between 5 to 7 months
Reply:Yep! Be sure to have lots of chew toys with a variety of textures for them.
Reply:Yes they do. This usually occurs between 3 and 6 months. Don%26#039;t be alarmed if you don%26#039;t find the baby teeth, they often get swallowed.
Reply:yep, probably somewhere around 5 1/2 months. when i asked the vet about it the other day, he said the only ones I%26#039;d probably notice would be the canines (the long ones in front). The adult teeth should be right behind the baby teeth. make sure to have lots of chew toys and ice cubes on hand to help with the pain.



Philosophy

Puppy Teeth?

When my puppy loses his teeth will he swallow them???

Puppy Teeth?
More then likely he will swallow one or two. It shouldn%26#039;t have any effect on him at all. I remember swallowing a loose tooth when I was a kid and nothing happened to me.





The only thing you should watch out for is that all the baby teeth fall out. Occasionally a baby tooth doesn%26#039;t fall out by six months, and the adult tooth will try to crowd in next to it. Retained baby teeth should be removed because they interfere with the alignment of the permanent teeth and could cause tooth-root infections.(1)
Reply:Lots of times they do. Some you are likely to find on the floor. No big deal either way.
Reply:yes, they probably will
Reply:He can swallow them or you will find them laying around...if he does swallow them it won%26#039;t harm him.

I just got a 8 week old yorkie/maltese mix as a gift and she doesn%26#039;t have any front teeth (top or bottom). Does anyone know why this would be?? I am setting up her first puppy vet check for this week but was curious if anyone has hear of this before?

Puppy Teeth?
She just doesn%26#039;t have all of her teeth yet. They are like human babies when they are born. Could you picture them nursing from the mother with a full set of teeth? Mom would not enjoy that.





My Maltese is ten weeks old and still doesn%26#039;t all his teeth yet. Don%26#039;t PANIC. All those baby teeth will fall out. Then the second teeth come in....................
Reply:At 8 weeks the puppy is like a human baby, the teeth willcome in at different times. Most of the time, the front teeth are the last to come in. I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. The teeth are baby teeth anyway, and would eventually be replaced by the adult teeth. Like a human baby, the dog will grow its teeth in due time. And because it being a small breed, the teeth may come in at a slower rate.
Reply:I have never heard of it. I would just ask your vet.
Reply:I know dogs lose their baby teeth just as humans do, because I remember our dog losing some on the rug and we were horrified until new ones grew in.

Puppy Teeth?

How cal you tell which are still puppy teeth and which are audlt teeth?

Puppy Teeth?
Puppy teeth are a lot smaller than the adult teeth. Small breed dogs can have a hard time shedding puppy teeth, so check your puppy%26#039;s mouth often to make sure there is not a %26quot;double set%26quot; of teeth. They should be done shedding teeth at about 8 months of age.
Reply:A puppy loses its teeth in the 3rd-4th month. They are small and razor sharp. Adult teeth are a bit duller and very large. You might also find their baby teeth around the house... we found a couple of our Sheltie%26#039;s teeth (RIP) by the doggie bowl and saved them.
Reply:Puppy teeth are smaller, thinner at the base of the tooth. Adult teeth are slightly more blunt at the end (but still have the appropriate %26#039;pointy-ness%26#039;) and have the full-size base to the tooth.
Reply:puppy teeth are smaller in size and usually fall out around 4 to 6 months time ... then they get the adult teeths which are bigger in size as they grow and more sharper.

Reply:it depends on the size of the dog if its a big dog there baby teeth are still small on a little dog there baby teeth are skinny.

Puppy teeth?

My Chi puppy is 6 months old and has not lost the bottom front baby teeth and the adult teeth are just about all the way in. Will they ever fall out on their own? Does it hurt them to leave it in? Should I have them pulled? If they pull them, do they put them out ? Is this something that%26#039;s covered by doggie insurance?

Puppy teeth?
They may have to be pulled by the vet. As far as your insurance covering the cost, you%26#039;ll have to check your policy. Your vet may also know the answer to that.
Reply:If she hasn%26#039;t lost those teeth yet you will probably need to have them pulled out. Talk with your vet, leaving the teeth in will cause several dental problems later on in her life. You will have to check with you doggie insurance provider to see what your plan covers.
Reply:my 7 month chi hasnt yet and when they do they swallow the teeth
Reply:they usually use them themselves so you need to take your puppy to the vet and have them pull it because your dog might be in pain.if you notice pain do this fast. You might want to ask your vet about the insurance and price range though
Reply:Some dogs do require the baby teeth be pulled. If they are affecting the dogs bite you may want to. Only a vet that can see the teeth can determine that. I am not a great fan of puppy baby teeth today. I woke up this morning and stepped on one in my bare feet. My Saint pup is still losing some of hers.
Reply:They might fall out ,but if they don%26#039;t. Don%26#039;t worry about it. It doesnt hurt them unless they start to not eat or not chew on things. No dont have them pulled because it%26#039;s probably not covered by pet insurance.
Reply:I would say call your vet, sometimes you may not know it but dogs loose there teeth and almost immediately they have there adult teeth. I doubt pet insurance would cover it. Most vet%26#039;s don%26#039;t accept it anyway. And unless it%26#039;s a necessary surgery, usually they wont cover it. But you never know, maybe you%26#039;ll get lucky?





Good Luck.
Reply:It should be coverd by your vet, but my advice is to wait another week or more, and then take her tot he vet :)
Reply:Give it time, they will fall out on their own. Just like humans, dogs mature at different rates. I don%26#039;t know if the breed has anything to do with it.

Puppy Teeth?

When do puppies usually lose their %26#039;baby%26#039; teeth (or milk teeth i%26#039;ve heard they are called...?). And since my puppy hasn%26#039;t lost her%26#039;s yet, is it really necessary for me to start brushing her teeth? Thanks!!

Puppy Teeth?
How old is your puppy? It%26#039;s possible that she may have lost a tooth or two and you didn%26#039;t notice because she swallowed it.





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.





About 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.





The exact schedule does vary from breed to breed.





Puppies have 28 deciduous (temporary) teeth and 42 permanent teeth.





ADD:





It%26#039;s probably a good ideas to start brushing your dog%26#039;s teeth now so that she will get used to it. Granted, your dog%26#039;s gums may be a little sore, once teething begins, but brushing the teeth early won%26#039;t hurt.
Reply:They usually have all their adult teeth by 6 months. I would start brushing them now just to get her used to you brushing them. You don%26#039;t hsve to do a perfect job, but at least get her used to the brushing.
Reply:Puppy teeth start to shed at about 4 months of age. You don%26#039;t need to brush the puppy teeth to keep them clean, but I would recommend you start brushing your puppy%26#039;s teeth (very gently) to get her used to being handled and having her teeth brushed. It is much easier to start now than it will be to engage a full grown dog (unless your dog is small). Also start handling her feet, brushing her and getting her used to the various grooming tools that you will need to use on her throughout her life.





Hope this helps.
Reply:Usually start about 15-16 weeks of age..


It%26#039;s a good idea to start young if you are going to brush their teeth. They are more open to new things and you can get into a good habit, build a good routine.. Then when she is older and has her adult teeth, she is already ready for the brushings.
Reply:Beginning around three months of age, puppies start to lose their first set of teeth.





I%26#039;d start the puppy with brushing just to get used to the idea of you putting your finger or brush against its teeth.





Vitamin C powder mixed with a little water is a good but inexpensive %26quot;toothpaste%26quot; Never use human toothpaste.

Puppy Teeth?

I have a 5 month old puppy and on some spots of her gums she has no teeth? i dontknow if they already fell out or they havent grew in yet? at what age do puppies lose their baby teeth or when do they have all their teeth? she%26#039;s always bitting things i i guess its cause of the teeth thing right? Or maybe she%26#039;s a little late on this?

Puppy Teeth?
My puppy is also 5 months old and has just started losing her puppy teeth. In the past week, she has lost 4. Between 5 and 6 months is the time that they start to lose them. Her adult teeth are just starting to show, she looks so cute, like a little kindergartner. Give your puppy lots of different textures of chew toys. My pup really has not stopped chewing on all of her different types of toys, but she does tend to be a little more cautious on the ones that are harder. We also give her ice cubes, and she just loves them. Good Luck, and enjoy your puppy, we absolutly love ours!
Reply:She%26#039;s about the right age. Her adult teeth will be there soon!
Reply:A puppy begins teething at 3 months and will have all their adult teeth around 7 - 8 months. They lose incisors first, then premolars and molars and canine teeth.
Reply:sHE IS LOSING BABY TEETH FOR NEW TEETH TO COME IN, MAKE SURE YOU GET HEALTHY CHEW TOYS, NOT ALL HARD EITHER, RUBBER DOGGY TOYS AND NYLABONES ARE THE BEST. sorry for the caps in a hurry.
Reply:She is at the right age for her teeth to be falling out. i never found my dog%26#039;s teeth when his fell out...i wanted to save one lol. but yeah they will start growing in soon. its quite adorable when you lift their lips and see tiny itty bitty teeth in there. then in a few weeks its fangs! ahah. enjoy!
Reply:puppies lose their teeth at different rates and some teeth, like molars, grow in about your pups age or a bit later, and cause another bout of teething. The teething process can last for up to about a yr. old. It%26#039;s normal and just have plenty of chew toys, Nylabones, etc for your pup to chew on. There some chew toys you can freeze, too, and those are comforting to their gums. check into getting a kennel cab for unsupervised times to prevent your puppy from biting or chewing something that you treasure or that could be harmful to her.


http://dogs.about.com/cs/basictraining/q...
Reply:No 5, 6 and even 7 months is fine for loosing teeth. My dog is 7 mo. and he has some places where there are no teeth still. Give her some teething rings (for dogs) and some chewies. She is still teething. No, she%26#039;s not late, she%26#039;s perfectly normal.
Reply:Get her toys to chew and prevent her from chewing hands or other human parts, bitting habits can start at this age if you don%26#039;t correct her. I remember that I got scared when my previous dog was teething, we were playing with a rope and a little fawn get stuck at his end. Well, it is a way to get a tiny souvenir from your puppy.
Reply:no! she%26#039;s just the right time to have her new teeth grow in, don;t be worried! she%26#039;s biting on things, helping her teeth grow, good luck!
Reply:dont worry she will get all her teeth soon.if she dosent start to get some by 8 months, you should she a vet.
Reply:dont worry she will get all of them at 7 mounths
