Puppy Teeth


Your puppy should have her first set of teeth, by the age of 12 weeks.

During this time, the need to gnaw or chew, helps to relieve the itching or irritation which is caused by teething, or when the tooth is breaking the skin in the gum.

Like humans, canines will get two sets of teeth in their lifetime.



  • A total of 28 teeth at............. 3 months of age
  • A total of 42 teeth at.............. 7 months of age

Your dog's permanent teeth, will start to come along right after all the first set of teeth are in.

Your little one should be checked by your veterinarian at this time to make sure that all things are going well. Sometimes a first tooth will not come out when the permanent tooth tries to takes it's place.
