Overview
Puppies start losing their baby teeth at around three to four months old, with their complete set of adult teeth usually in place by six to seven months. As their new teeth come through, they may feel discomfort, drool or chew more than usual, and even have slight gum bleeding. Understanding this phase is important for knowing how to help a teething puppy by choosing the right chew toys and building good dental habits early. Knowing what’s normal during teething, like drooling, and what’s not, like retained baby teeth, means you can keep an eye on their dental health and step in when needed.
