Anyone else have this situation? |
Our pup also had double teeth when she was little. It affected her eating and the vet and breeder said you don't want to leave them because it can permanently affect their bite, new teeth alignment that can have lasting effects on their dental health. We had to have hers pulled before she was old enough to be spayed. It would have been nice to only have anesthesia once but she came through it very well and was back to eating within hours. So, while it's normal, it's not beneficial to leave them.
