About 4- 4 1/2 months puppies begin to lose the front tiny teeth on the top and bottom. About 5-6 months the canine (fangs) teeth start to fall out. After that the molars start to push in and that's when the dog needs lots of good teething equipment.
This is a hard time for puppies and harder on their owners. Puppies will chew on anything including our hand, ankles or our good furniture. This is not being hateful, it is just trying to help the new teeth come in.
Hang in there , the second teeth are usually all in by the time they are 9 months.

Dogs are born with no teeth at all, but grow them in the first two or three weeks after birth. At around eight weeks of age, a puppy should have a full set of twenty-eight teeth (some breeds may have a slight variation), consisting of pre-molars (not full molars), incisors, and canines.
Beginning around three months of age, puppies start to lose their first set of teeth. The first ones noticed are usually the pointier canines, when an owner notices blood on chew toys. Many times an owner won't even realize his puppy has started to shed teeth.
Adult teeth start to erupt within a few days of losing a tooth, and you'll notice your puppy has started a reign of terror, mouthing everything, chewing like there's no tomorrow.
An adult set has forty-two teeth: twenty-two on the lower jaw (mandible) and twenty on the upper jaw (maxilla). Twelve incisors, four canines, sixteen pre-molars, and four molars on the upper jaw, and six more on the lower jaw.
If you notice your puppy hasn't started losing its baby teeth by 6 months I would bring it up to your vet (if they don't notice it first).

there is not any speicfic age that i comprehend of. all of them look to initiate loosing them at round 4 months. suggestions to inform is at the same time as they extremely initiate chewing on issues. I mean chewing. i do not imagine the breed has a lot to do with it except a runt would nicely be later. supply them their very own toy and by no potential some thing else. A puppy or dogs would not comprehend the huge difference between new and previous.
