I think puppy's loose their baby teeth, much like humans, and they get replaced with permanent teeth. But if he's not a puppy you should take him to the vet

How old is your dog? Is it still a puppy? If so this is normal. It's just losing its baby teeth as you and I would. If its an adult this is nnot normal and you should take your dog to the vet. Good luck!

puppies lose ther baby teeth but if it isnt a young dog then your not brushing its teeth enough or at all so it will have all sort of dental problems (teeth should be nice and white and pink gums not dark red) so if it is an older dog take it to vet.

Yes, this is normal. Many people do not find the teeth, they get lost in chew toys, etc. One thing that my guys love is cold, raw baby carrots out of the fridge. They can really chew on them and unlike rawhide, if they swallow, what do they get? Vitamins!! I have also heard of people taking carrots, zuccinni, and other fruits and veggies and freezing them and giving them. Think a frozen wash rag given to a baby. I have also heard of people taking rope bones, soaking them in water and freezing those. If you use ice, make sure it is crushed ice or small pieces as larger pieces are like rocks and might actually crack mollars.

If it's a puppy between 3-6 months, it's perfectly normal. Many times you'll never see them because they'll swallow them after they come out during a meal or gnawing on a chew toy. Make sure that there are plenty of things other than furniture for your pup to chew on or start saving for new shoes, chairs, etc.

dogs, just like people, lose their first set of teeth as puppies (kids). Don't worry, this is totally normal, soon, his permanent teeth with grown in.

all puppies lose their teeth...save them to remember the good times, as you would a babies.
