Ok, so my pup of 5 months who's a pug, named princess, loves chew toys. And recently i noticed that whenever she chewed she chewed so hard that there are blood stains in the chew toy and my brother found a piece of Princess's tooth on the couch, and the next day he found another one, I know that princess is a puppy and her teeth will eventually grow but this problem really disturbs me.. Any suggestions? I think that this'll really be a problem if it continues..

it's that time when the puppy looses his puppy teeth to be replaced with adult teeth. don't worry to much about it. from what i've read, this will gross ya out too, they also eat their baby teeth. don't worry about it at all. i would worry if it were its adult teeth being lost.

A puppy is much like a child - It will lose teeth. Take away the hard chew toys if it really bothers you, and pick up the baby teeth and throw them out. Your pup will have all its adult teeth in no time.
Make sure the vet looks at Princess's mouth when she goes for her checkup (not sure if you are gonna have her fixed or not) just to be sure she is not doing any damage.
Hope this helps.

That's normal, she's losing her baby teeth. They usually end up swallowing them. They need to teethe on something like a chew toy.

Is it pieces of her tooth or is it whole teeth? With her being 5 months old, she is probably teething and it would be normal for her to be losing teeth at this time. As long as the whole tooth is out and its just mild bleeding I would just let her continue being a puppy.

That's normal puppies lose their teeth like children do, they will grow back. If it started to get worse then go to the vet. Or ask at the next vet visit.

normal behavior for your pup to loose his teeth while teething, that is what chew toys are for, it helps them to loose their baby teeth while their new perment teeth are growing on in. I also have a five month puppy and he is a dashound, this evenin he lost another one of his baby teeth.
