Question
I have a 4 month old boxer and it looks like she has a canine tooth missing. Do dogs lose their baby teeth?
Thank you,
Ruth
Answer
Ruth,
Yes, dogs do lose their baby teeth. Normally the canine teeth do not come out until they are around 5-6 months old, but she may be early. The adult canines should be completely grown in by the time she is 6 months old. Don't forget to keep her up to date on her vaccines and get her
spayed!
Thank you,
