How long do puppies keep their baby teeth?
Forever. Puppies don't have baby teeth. Thier teeth grow with them.








EDIT: Oh really!? wow we raised puppys and I had no idea. Interesting.
Reply:They begin loosing them at about 3 1/2 -4 months. Watch for difficulty eating, and be sure to moisten kibble during this time....


I was showing my puppies in an AKC sanctioned match. My pup wasn't responding well to the treats I give for posing correctly and such...anyway, my pup placed second, so I asked the steward if she knew why (he was much better then the one that won) she said, because the judge couldn't check his bite! 'cause he didn't have any teeth! I hadn't even noticed...lol
Reply:Chetco is right... I found a couple of my puppie's baby teeth on the floor and still have them..
Reply:Exactly, they do have baby teeth and boy are they sharp. As previously said approx.. 4 months, just like babies the time can vary. That's why they teeth, also like babies...Puppies need soft chew toys during this time.
Reply:I use to show dogs and am doing it again and you new if your dog had good teeth at four months. That is why show breeders sometimes will not sell pup till 4 months as teeth are absolutely necessary to be correct for any show dog.
Reply:A pups baby teeth will generally start to loosen at approximately 3 months.This is when you will notice that your pup is chewing alot more than before.All the Adult teeth are usually in by the time the dog is around 7 months old.Your pup will probably continue to chew quite a bit for awhile longer,as it helps set the adult teeth in the socket.
