Do dogs have 2 sets of teeth like humans?

My Border Collie, puppy is just starting to loose teeth and i was woundering if it was because she was biting her bones to hard or something or they actually have to sets of teeth like humans?

Do dogs have 2 sets of teeth like humans?
Yes
Reply:She's teeting.. yes she will grow her adult teeth. You'll find the odd tooth falling out, she'll probably swallow some of them
Reply:i think they do. dont worrie about her bitting its ever her bone of the furnitue
Reply:Don't worry! Dogs lose their (very sharp!) baby teeth, just like humans do!
Reply:Yes, they lose their puppy teeth and replace them with their adult ones. That's usually finished somewhere around 6 mos. of age.
Reply:I am amazed at how ignorant some dog owners are. Did you NOT read anything about puppy's or puppy care before you went and brought one?





Did you not read about teething???





What else are you clueless about?





Suggest you READ some literature about dogs and puppy's. Read about BASIC health care and basic training.





Pity your poor puppy for having such a clueless owner!
Reply:No, pups have baby teeth and adult teeth. Their baby teeth are little and sharp and will be lost when your pup grows her big girl teeth.
Reply:Puppies and kittens both lose baby teeth around 4-5 mo. The adult teeth usually follow shortly there after.


Puppies lose their teeth in a distinct pattern: first the small front teeth come out. Then the premolars just behind the canines. Then the molars in the back come out (and you'll see adult molars behind those erupting as well). Finally the canine teeth come out. Sometimes the adult canines erupt before the baby canines have come all the way out, if they don't fall out on their own, vet will usually remove them at the time of spay or neuter.
Reply:Yep, your baby is growing up! Losing her "milk teeth" and preparing to have a set of those gleaming big dog teeth. And, please don't get discouraged by people who "slam" you for not researching about your dog. In my mind, there is nothing wrong with asking a question here that has no life threatening results. After all, the people who answer are purporting to know their stuff so why wouldn't you ask.


And, people who answer, let's lighten up a bit......after all, supposedly there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers.
Reply:Yes the do have two sets teeth like humans. And you need to spell wondering right.
