I guess this is a common thing... My puppy, Penny, is nine months old now. My husband and I have noticed that all of her 4 canines are still attached. Her adult canines are out. We rushed her to the vet last week to see what our options were. Penny was spayed at 6 months (then, her adult teeth were not fully out).

The vet gave me two options. First option was to put her to sleep and remove her baby teeth. Second option was wait until her routine teeth check up and remove them then. For now, we went with the second option since she doesn't have hard time eating and she isn't drooling.

Just wanted to see what yorkie owners did who were in similar situation. Thanks!!

P.S. What are some of your experiences like with professional dental cleaning?
