It's normal for a puppy to lose their baby teeth around 5-6 months.

THIS IS COMEPLETELY NORMAL!! Dont let those other people freak you out. Just like humans lose baby teeth and grow adult teeth, puppies do the same. There is nothing wrong with her. Your vet can recommend a diet that will be easy for her to eat, as crunchy food may be difficult- she probably has sore gums.

Not to worry at all. Dogs have baby teeth to lose just like we have so its very normal!! Most dog owners don't even notice this, so good on you for being so in touch with your pup.

Sounds like your puppy is loosing it's baby teeth :) She's at the right age to be starting to get her adult teeth. Perfectly normal process.
There's going be a little blood, she's going to find things to chew on because her mouth is sore. Give her something like a Kong Toy to help ease the pain.

No, don't worry, she's just teething. like a kid looses their teeth at a young age, so do dogs. odds are she's been chewing things recently too, but if you're lucky they're chew toys. both of ours liked other things better- our older one really liked our cheap plastic cups, We still have them, they're our "Lucy Decorated" cups. Our younger dog preferred things that people left on floors of low tables ( to our dismay)
they get over it though, and they'll grow in new adult teeth. If they loose those, you should worry, but as a puppy? it's a great phase to be done with.

Don't worry!
They are supposed to fall out. Just like a child dogs lose there teeth, get a visit from the doggy tooth fairy if they are lucking, and then grow new and bigger teeth.
Oh, and don't worry if your dog swallows his tooth. That is very common and not dangerous.
I hope this helps

very normal for puppies to loose their teeth at this age, no biggie. avoid tug games right now as to not pull out teeth that aren't ready to fall out. if she eats them as most do, not to worry again very normal to happen. she will loose all her teeth a few at a time with all growing back in with adult teeth. good luck and hope this helps

I remember having a dog when I was a kid and its teeth kept coming out. We thought it was our fault because it would sometimes be after tug of war... I remember being told he was just losing his baby teeth... i don't remember how old he was, but he wasn't little.... you should call your vet. That will make you feel the best.

She's teething and this is normal. It's just like humans losing teeth as the adult set comes in.
