When do puppies generally lose their baby teeth?

typically around 4-6 months of age. If they don't lose some of them and the adult teeth grow in beside/behind/infront of them, it's a simple procedure to have the baby ones removed at the same time of the spay or neuter

When do puppies generally lose their baby teeth?
The first ones usually come out by 4 months, and they will continue to come out until the dog is about 6 months old.
Reply:From 12 weeks to 6 months, the baby teeth are lost and the adult teeth erupt. The last teeth to come in are the canines. They are down fully at 6 months of age.

Reply:genetics plays a big role in this.


If you find the babys aren't dropping out and new ones are coming in, don't try to remove them yourself...I agree with the other answer, have the vet remove any that haven't fallen out by themselves at spay time.


And they will have a chewing bout when the molars come in around 8 months to a yr and will start chewing up everything around the house again. If they drop teeth and you find them ok, sometimes they just swallow them and that's ok too.
Reply:It really depends on each dog some will at 5 months other by 7 months
