My puppy has lost almost all of her puppy teeth except two of her canines. The new canines are already coming in beside the old ones and it is hurting her terribly. I think I am going to have to take her to the vet to get them out. Does anyone know how much it cost to have teeth extracted from a dog?

Depending on what the Vet tells you needs to be done. Since the dog is a pup, and most of the baby teeth are out, he may tell you the other remanding teeth will also fall out. The teeth coming in may probably just push the baby teeth out on there own. My poodle had a double row of teeth also when she was a pup. Eventually they all fell out. If she seems in alot of pain, maybe the Vet can recommend something. Usually when dogs have dental work, such as cleaning or pulling, they have to put the dog under. Being that your dog is a pup, they may not want to do this. Depending on the size of the dog, and the work that has to be done, is usually how they arrive at a price. I had to have my Rottweiler's teeth cleaned, and one extracted, it ran me around $80.00. Again, it depends on the size, as well as the Vets pricing, the amount of work that needs to be done too. Call your pup's Vet, and explain what is going on, and they should be able to give you an exact or ballpark cost. you may not even have to have them extracted. Hope this helps.

Charges can vary quite a bit. The best way to find out is to go to your vet for an exam, and ask him or her to give you an estimate for the cost of the work your puppy needs. Vets understand that people have budgets and can't always just jump into things having no idea what they'll cost. If you don't already have a good vet, ask friends and family for a recommendation.

Provide plenty of different "chewy toys" and they will fall out on their own. It is not worth it to put them under anesthesia just to remove baby teeth.
Although, if you have the puppy spayed/neutered soon you can ask the vet to go ahead and remove the teeth as well if they feel comfortable with it.
My own puppy had his adult canines grow in right next to his puppy ones--the puppy canines ended up falling out on their own.

Don't wait it out...it could cause serious problems for your pup. As for cost, that depends entirely on your vet, no 2 vets any where charge the same, good luck and give your poor puppy a hug

Just wait it out....get her some soft chew toys, and even let her have some crushed ice for the pain. They will come out eventually.

It costs too much my grandma won't tell me how much it costs but I do know it costs up to 1,000 I think.
