Just wondering when puppies lose their baby teeth. I got Bennett at 4.5 months and he is now 6th months and his teeth are still going strong....

I'm not sure when the lose them all but our Teddy had to have 6 teeth removed at 7 months old when he was neutered (they were retained baby teeth). If you are going to have Bennett neutered, they usually take out the baby teeth at that time if there are any left.

Bennett got neutered right when he turned 6 months so i'm assuming he has no baby teeth left.

My boy had two retained baby teeth and had them removed when he was 6 months old and neutered.

My girl- was not spayed until 10 months old, and she had lost her last two baby teeth around 8 or 9 months.

I have heard of vets overlooking retained baby teeth when pets are altered- especially those who are not very experienced with small dogs- however, most will remove them during the altering- although they probably would have mentioned it to you (and likely charged you for it as well.)
