As a pet owner, do you know how many teeth your dog needs to change in its lifetime? I’m afraid you don’t know very well. Some pet owners even don’t know that their dogs have changed teeth. Today I will share with you some information about dog teeth changing~
First of all, let’s take a look at the basic process of puppy tooth growth.
Usually puppies have 28 deciduous teeth, and all of them will usually grow out around 40 days after birth. At about 3 months old, the puppies will leave their mothers and start life in a new home. Next, as the dog grows up, its baby teeth will slowly fall out. Some of them will fall off and be seen by pet owners. Some of them will not know where they fell, and some of them will be swallowed by the dog himself. Moreover, dogs’ deciduous teeth are also in various shapes, some are like stones, some are like grains of rice...
If a pet owner finds blood stains on the toys that the dog often chews on, don’t worry, the dog is just changing its teeth! Generally, when a dog is 6 months old, all of its deciduous teeth have fallen out. After the deciduous teeth fall out, they are replaced by permanent teeth. There are 42 permanent teeth in total. Around 8 months old, a dog’s permanent teeth will have grown in.
Sometimes dogs grow two rows of teeth. Don’t worry if you encounter this situation. Some dogs with special physiques may develop permanent teeth before their deciduous teeth fall out~
Okay, that’s all about how many teeth a dog needs to replace in its lifetime. After the dog grows permanent teeth, pet owners should remember to brush their dog’s teeth regularly~
