Previous Next Up Topic Dog Boards / General / Puppy loosing teeth

its been so long since ive had a puppy and i feel like like such a doughnut asking this but when do puppies loose their baby teeth? Ours was 3 calender months old on monday but since last saturday ive noticed a few front teeth missing... She has been stealing some of her mums chew treats, and she really tucks into them, but should hard chew sticks be given to a pup or is it too early for her? Could it damage her teeth?

thanks

Our boy started losing them around that age and kept on losing them till around...5 nearly 6 months old :-)
(Ive even kept them as well LOL :-) )

I think hard chews when supervised are ok, but the usual puppy toys are usually suffice until their baby teeth are lost, when she has lost her baby teeth she will be needing serious chewtime so that would be the time to upgrade but if she is happy tucking into an older dogs chew (which is probably already softened by the older dog) then let her, just keep an eye on her for bits she may break off or try to eat :-)
