Q&A: Puppies Losing TeethQ: My miniature Schnauzer is 6 months old. I have found three of her teeth in the past week. Is it normal for puppies to lose teeth? If so, how long will this go on? A: Yes, just like human children, puppies lose their first or milk teeth to be replaced by their permanent teeth and the addition of molars for chewing. While this loss of puppy teeth and arrival of adult teeth usually starts around four months and finishes around six months, the timing varies by breed and individual dog. So what is happening to your dog is normal and necessary. See the Puppies tip category for more information.Comments8/23/2006 1:26:54 AMAnn said: I feel the information regarding puppy tooth lose was very informative. It gave me the knowledge which was needed to relax my worries. Thanks again for your help. 8/24/2006 11:01:12 PM Barb W. said: Since we're inexperienced this helped me know what to expect, and that our finding a puppy tooth on the floor was normal. 8/31/2006 12:22:35 PM Blu said: Thank goodness.

I got a puppy a couple of months back which was very malnurished and I thought that was the reason she was losing teeth. But she's about five months old and very healthy now. 10/6/2007 11:31:49 PM Alex said: My 4 month old pit mix is losing lots of teeth...especially this week. I found two big molars, and I also saw blood on her toy rope. One thing that feels reallllly good on her teeth is wetting a towel, freezing it for 2 hours, and then giving it to her. She LOVES the cold on her sore gums. Another thing is crushed ice cubes. They love the coldness because it sooths and numbs the dental pain. Also, I give her a little water the moment she loses a tooth just to wash the blood out of her mouth from losing the tooth. Not to worry. Losing lots of teeth is normal, as the bigger (adult) "canine" teeth and molars grow in. :-) 10/17/2007 12:19:23 PM lizzie said: my staffordshire bull terier puppy is 4 mths old and ihave just found out her two front fangs are bent inwards is this the start of her losing her baby teeth or should i go to the vet 11/28/2007 2:00:18 PM Nicki said: I own a Schnoodle who recently turned five months old. I have found at least four of his teeth in the last week or so and was worried sick. Thought perhaps he might have a gum disease and was about to take him to the vet until i googled your site. Thank-you so very much for your expertise of info. that i knew nothing about. It certainly put my mind at ease. 1/29/2008 9:31:53 AM crystal hartsfield said: This info was great! I was so scared when I began finding my 4month old shih tzu losing her teeth. I'm glad to know that this is just a phase. 2/4/2008 11:23:06 PM Anna Hedley said: I found this very helpful because I just did a quick search and found this site informing me that what was happening to my dog was normal!! 2/25/2008 7:48:49 PM George said: thanx i have a boglen terrier and its 5 months old and its loosing theyr teeth i thoughed she was supposed to loose em around 2 months or 3 thanx 2/29/2008 11:37:20 AM Pat said: I havr a 7 month toy poodel. He has 2 sets of cannine teeth on the top and the bottom. He has his puppy teeth, which havenot fallen out yet, and his "big dog" teeth right next to them. It looks like double teeth. Should he have already lost hos puppy teeth before getting the other ones? It looks really odd. Pat 4/7/2008 1:24:49 PM sandra said: my dog is very small and young i was just going over to her dog bowl and found teeth is this normal for a small 4 month old yorkie?? 4/13/2008 8:58:15 AM Cindie said: Thank GOD I found this site. Me and my boyfriend were sitting here wondering if her teeth were knocked out last night when I accidentally let the footstool down on the sofa and Jazz, our miniature Schnauzer, bumped her lowe jaw on the coffee table. My boyfriend said when I told him I noticed a couple of teeth gone, that was the first thing he thought of, said he was gonna find some way to blame it on me! HA!! Glad to know this is normal. 7/8/2008 4:25:54 PM Ed said: I was wondering the same thing. Our Lab mix breed has lost about 5 today. He's 5 months and I just keep finding them. 9/22/2008 7:41:26 PM Darren said: This information was very helpful. Thanks 11/25/2008 6:57:41 AM Ghost said: Thanks for all the information i was afraid my puppy was going through something i have a 5 month old pitbull and he has lost 2 teeth thanks alot
