| Losing Baby Teeth! Hello everyone. I have a question. My little Bentley just turned five months last week. I noticed last night that he has lost a few of his baby teeth? Is he too young for that? Also, is him losing his teeth going to affect the way he eats. right now it does not seem that he is bothered by it. He has been eating normally with no signs of struggle. How old are puppies usually when all of their teeth fall out and their permanent ones grow in? Im sure someone can help me out. Thanks!

| Canyon will be 6 months old on Monday the 28th an he's lost most of his baby teeth and his new teeth have replaced them. I think at this age, it's the appropriate time. |

As soon as Fiona turned 5 months old she literally lost 3 teeth that day! I was shocked at how fast she was loosing them, and how fast they were coming back in!!!!! She will be 7 months on the 29th ( oh boy, she is growing up so fast! ) and she still has 1 of her upper k9 tooth left that needs to come out! Sometimes puppies will loose their teeth without you noticing them, and thats normal. I just payed a lot of attention to her, cuz she looked like she was chewing gum, when in fact she was loosing a tooth, so I was able to help her get them out!

| General Lee started to loose them about that time also, however, he did not loose them all and all his adult teeth came it. I spoke with the vet and was told not to worry about having two sets of teeth it happens a lot and the furbaby does not even notice. He ate just fine, I had the ones that did not come out pulled when he went in to be neutered. They pulled 10 teeth He never missed a beat and we got a whole lot less damage to our hands. His baby front top teeth had been pushed up into the gum line under the lip by the adult teeth and every time he got into a kissing mood we would get scraped by them. |

| Thanks everyone! Yes he is eating normally, and he goes in december to be neutered so im sure the vet will take care of them then if he has any left. Ive been picking on him for the past two days saying he looks like a hillbilly with his missing teeth. lol
