What age do puppies start to lose their baby teeth?

My puppy (Lab/Pit mix) started losing her baby teeth around 3 1/2 to 4 months of age. She has lost all of them and she just turned 6 months. Her molars are now coming in.

What age do puppies start to lose their baby teeth?
Thats what I'm trying to find out... My chihuahua hasn't lost any and his 1 year old and 4months, and I have a boxer he's 5 years old and he hasn't any...thats weird.
Reply:Puppies start to lose their puppy teeth at or around 4 months. They first start to lose the little front teeth top and bottom and then around 5 months the fangs start to fall out.


When they are around 6-7 months the molars are replaced and they need lots of good things to chew on to help loosen them up. Some smaller breed dogs for what ever reason seem to retain their fangs so they have 8 fangs making them look like a shark.


These double fangs should be removed if they do not fall out by themselves. It is done by the Vet with the dog asleep and they really don't experience any pain from it.


Teething time is hard on your puppy and on you because they want to chew on anything.


Have patience it is usually all done by the time they are 9 months.
Reply:I have a Labrador and he is 4 months old, he started losing his around 3 months.
Reply:Usually about 16 weeks.





They will chew even more when they are teething so they need good quality chew toys. Their back teeth should come through later and all their adult teeth will be through by about six months.
Reply:Between 5-8months,later in some large/giant breeds of dog.
Reply:About 4-5 month. You have to keep an eye on them cause some times they milk teeth stay in %26amp; the adult fang grows beside it give a raw hide bone to chew the ones with the big knots in the ends, I soak mine in boiling water for about 2 mins let cool off then give it to pup that way the smell/flavour comes out %26amp; a bit easier to chew if has sore mouth. If the fangs or any other milk teeth are still in by 8 month old he/she must be taken to the vets to be removed it can damage the dogs bite too.
Reply:Hi, puppies start to lose their baby teeth around 6months sometimes earlier. my dog was 6 months when she lost hers
