It's normal for a pup to lose their baby teeth just like you did. Try to keep him well supplied with chew toy's. Chew toy's feel good to the dog's mouth and it will help to keep him from chewing on thing's you don't want him to, like your shoes, the furniture, your clothing, etc. Good luck.

Totally normal!! :) Just like humans loose their teeth, puppies do too. It is somewhat rare that you would notice, the puppy usually swallows the tooth subconsciously. But now that you have noticed, keep watch and I'm sure you'll notice a few more missing in the next month or so. Don't worry at all, you may even notice the tooth turn darker than another right before it falls out, this is also normal, do not worry about it. Your little puppy is growing up :) How Cute :) Good Luck

yes they loose baby teeth and get grown up ones just like we do. he should have most of his adult teeth by 7 months. in the mean time provide him with lots of things to chew on because that's all hes going to want to do. get a book at any local pet shop about raising and training puppies to give you some guidelines as what to expect and tips to train your puppy into a well behaved dog. good luck and have fun!

As stated previously, puppies do lose teeth and then get adult teeth. It's normal, you just don't think about it because your dog doesn't pick the tooth up and put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy.

Perfectly normal - puppies shed those sharp little needles for something more useful!
And don't panic when you play with him, and a tooth comes out in a tugatoy - it happens. Sometimes they get swallowed - don't worry about it.
I also recommend wearing shoes until he's finished - those puppy canines are *sharp*, and stepping on one is just not fun!

Yes, dear...not to worry. It's perfectly normal. In that respect (and many others) they're just like infants. Their baby teeth drop out to make room for their permanent teeth. (^@^)

Yes, this is normal. Like humans, they have baby teeth and adult teeth. Your puppy is fine, an adult tooth will grow in in its place.
