Dogs will lose their teeth at the age of 2-8 months

Dogs will mostly lose their teeth from the age of 2 months to August. During the teething period, dogs lose their deciduous teeth and new permanent teeth are about to emerge. They often bite things to relieve the discomfort of teething and help the teeth to grow in smoothly.

The owner can let the dog bite some molar snacks during the teething period to help the dog end the teething period faster. It can also train the dog to develop the habit of not chewing things randomly during the teething period.

Timetable of Dog Teeth Growth

Dogs start to grow teeth around 20 days after birth, and all their deciduous incisors grow in 4-6 weeks after birth. When the baby is nearly two months old, all the baby teeth are fully elongated, white, thin and pointed.

When the dog is 2-4 months old, the first deciduous incisor is replaced, and when the dog is 5-6 months old, the second and third deciduous incisors and deciduous canines are replaced. After the age of 8 months, all the permanent teeth are replaced. At the age of 1 year, the dog's permanent teeth are all straight, white and bright, and there are sharp protrusions on the upper part of the incisors.

When the dog is 1.5 years old, the large peak of the first incisor of the dog's mandible wears down to the level of the small peak. This phenomenon is called peak obliteration.

At the age of 2.5 years, the peak of the second incisor of the dog's mandible disappears.

At the age of 3.5 years, the peak of the first incisor of the dog's maxilla disappears.

At the age of 4.5 years, the peak of the dog's maxillary second incisor disappears.

When the dog is 5 years old, the peak of the third incisor of the mandible is slightly worn, and the wear surface of the first and second incisors of the mandible is rectangular.

When the dog is 6 years old, the peak of the third incisor of the dog's mandible is lost and the canine teeth are blunt and rounded.

When the dog is 7 years old, the first incisor of the dog's mandible is worn to the root of the tooth, and the wear surface is vertically oval.

When the dog is 8 years old, the first incisor of the dog's mandible is worn and tilted forward.

When the dog is 10 years old, the wear surface of the second lower incisor and the first upper incisor of the dog are in the shape of a vertical oval.

When the dog was 16 years old, his incisors fell out and his canines were incomplete.

Precautions during the dog teething period

1. When the dog teething period comes, it is best for the owner to make preparations in advance, such as buying some teething sticks and other items so that the dog can have something to eat Perform nibbling.

2. Try to put away some valuable things at home to prevent them from being bitten by dogs in the molar period.

3. The owner can pay more attention to the growth of the dog's teeth. If the dog's teeth grow slowly and the deciduous teeth do not fall out, it may be necessary to supplement the dog's calcium, or ask a doctor to help remove the deciduous teeth. Come down.
