Default Double Teeth

I asked my vet about the fact that Mckenzie has many double teeth and they seemed unconcerned. He said that they prefer to wait it out to see if they come out naturally and if they aren't out by around a year then they like to look into other options such as pulling.

They told me that small dogs can take much longer to lose their baby teeth and that this is totally normal and is not painful to have doubles.

I do plan on getting her spayed in a month or two, I know I should do it right now -- but I am *really* nervous to and prefer to wait a while longer. I *will* get it done though.

If her baby teeth haven't fallen out by then I will get them pulled while she is in for her spay.

I just wanted to know -- does this cause any discomfort in the meantime for her? She's still eating normally, I'm giving her plenty of chew toys and bully sticks to gnaw on and I use Petzife Oral Gel and brush so that there is no build up of plaque. She's right around 8 months.

Thanks guys
