Do Dogs loose teeth? If they do, when do they loose them and Where do they loose them?
Dogs start out with 28 deciduous (baby) teeth, cats start out with 26 deciduous teeth. By six months of age, these baby teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, 42 in the dog and 30 in the cat.


How can I tell if my pet has dental problem?


Bad breath is often a first indicator of dental disease. Gently lift the lips and check for tartar, inflamed gums, or missing/broken teeth. Cats may exhibit increased drooling. Both cats and dogs can exhibit reluctance to eat or play with toys, %26quot;chattering%26quot; of the teeth when trying to eat, lethargy, bleeding gums, eroded teeth, and failing to groom (cats). Dental disease progresses in stages -- if caught early, you can prevent further damage and save as many teeth as possible.





How is the rest of the body affected by bad teeth?


Infected gums and teeth aren%26#039;t just a problem in the mouth -- the heart, kidneys, intestinal tract, and joints may also be infected. The tartar and any infected areas of the mouth contain a multitude of bacteria than can %26#039;seed%26#039; to other parts of the body. With regular dental care, you can prevent some of these more serious side effects.





Where should I start?


With a new puppy or kitten, talk to your Veterinarian at the vaccination appointments on how to initiate a good dental care program at home. Most Veterinarians are happy to provide brushing lessons, and many carry brushes and toothpaste specifically for dogs and cats. (NOTE: do not use human toothpaste on your pet!)





If your pet is an adult over 3 years of age, it would be wise to schedule a dental check up with your Veterinarian. If a dental cleaning is necessary, it is advisable to do pre-anesthesia blood work to make sure your pet does not have any underlying problems.
Reply:Yes, Dogs loose there teeth. They loose them a bit before there first birthday. When dog loose there teeth they do not know what is happening so they will swalow the tooth. Report It

Reply:yes they do but only when they are a puppy just like humans. we found my dogs teeth all around the house
Reply:I do know that puppies lose teeth and get different ones, just like kids do, but I%26#039;m sorry I don%26#039;t know exactly when. Probably you could find the answer by searching the internet.
Reply:Yes. Dogs do lose their puppy teeth. Depending on the breed they loose them between 4-7 months of age. You will likely never see a puppy tooth on the floor though. Dogs swallow the teeth that fall out and deficate them out later. Dont worry. It wont hurt them.
Reply:They do loose their baby teeth brefore the adult teeth come in.


Most times they probally swallow the teeth or they just fall out.


I have some of the baby teeth of one of my dogs.


I found one on the carpet.
Reply:Like with humans puppies do loose teeth that make way for adult teeth. And when dogs get older or due to bad dental health again, they may loose teeth. Most canine teeth are swallowed and every now and then you may run across one laying somewhere, but they usually swallow them.
Reply:My daschund started losing his %26quot;puppy teeth%26quot; at about 1 year. They can fall out at any time, especially if the dog likes to chew. Also, watch out because the new teeth that grow in hurt and make the dog irritable.
Reply:Yes they do, they start losing their teeth at between six months and a year they will start scratching at their mouths viciously and then they are out and this will happen until they have lost all their baby teeth, the next time they lose their teeth they will be very old, but that will be because of age nothing else, they will lose their teeth anywhere anytime anyplace, so if you are thinking of keeping her teeth keep an eye on her, she might lose her apetite for a short period but it does not last long
Reply:They lose them when they are young puppies. That is why they want to chew on everything. They are teething. And just like young children do, they get another set of them. You may find the lost teeth laying around anywhere.
