At what age do dogs loose their teeth?

I have a nine-month-old miniature weiner dog and he seems to have excess teeth that he should have lost already. At what age should all a puppies teeth have fallen out?

At what age do dogs loose their teeth?
My personal experience with puppies-dachshunds included has been that they lose them well before 6 months. Take a trip to your local vet to get a professional opinion. If you paid for a pure bred with papers, you may also want to contact the breeder to see if there are any hereditary issues they may know about. Love your puppy no matter what though!
Reply:Around 6 months of age they should have all their adult teeth. It's not uncommon though for smaller breeds especially to retain some baby teeth. If he isn't neutered yet, they can remove those baby teeth while he is anesthetized for the neuter. Otherwise they should be removed anyway before they cause the adult teeth to move into poor positions.





Sometimes (less commonly though) dogs can have extra adult teeth, which should also be removed if they are causing the bite to be abnormal.
Reply:They start losing their teeth at 3months old and they should have lost all of their puppy teeth at about 6/7 months old. If ur dog seems 2 have extra teeth he may still have some puppy teeth left. So take him 2 the vet and they will justify if indeed they r puppy teeth and they may have to take them out 2 avoid overcrowding and infection 2 the adult teeth.
