| Dogs do lose their baby teeth at around 5 months just like human children lose their teeth. When Louie started losing his teeth I freaked out becuase I kept finding teeth all over the house. It probably seems like a lot of missing teeth, but it's normal.

| She's losing her milk teeth and getting her adult teeth. The milk teeth are much tinier and sharper than their adult teeth. This usually starts to happen between 4-7mths of age. They usually don't even notice when they lose them, often swallow them while eating. Just be happy they're falling out on their own and you wont have to pay the vet to remove them!

| yep they lose them...it normal! Sadie didn't even notice most of hers. There were a couple, though, that bled just a tiny bit when she lost them. I think those were a little more tender, but she quickly forgot about it.
