puppy canine (those "fangs") teeth are a little curved, adult canine teeth are pretty straight. Depending on the breed/size of the dog, incisors start coming in at about 4 months old and the canines should start coming in just shortly after. If she is 5 months old, sounds like everyones on track!

Dogs start loosing their baby teeth at 4 1/2 mo.
Don't worry the fang is one of the last to fall out

Pups lose their fang teeth right around 6 months. So I would bet what she lost was a baby tooth. Those are the last to fall out. Your baby is growing up :o)

Baby teeth in a puppy are tiny and needle sharp. Puppies start to shed their baby teeth from about 4 months and generally have a full set of adult teeth by the time that they are months old.
The adult teeth when they grow in are instantly recognisable as permanent teeth, especially the canine teeth as they are more than twice the size and thickness of the baby teeth. Don't worry, in another month she'll probably have all her adult teeth.

puppies teeth from around 4 or 5 months to about 9 or 10 months. Her teeth will be falling out around now til they're all replaced so don't worry. You will notice she prob chews everything she can at the moment too. this will stop once her adult teeth are in,much like a human baby, it chews all it can tilall the teeth are in. make sure she has loads of chew toys to protect your shoes, kids toys etc.

puppies start to get their adult teeth at about 6 months of age. The baby teeth are called decidious. The puppy tooth will be sharper and smaller than the adult canine

Puppies generally lose their teeth between 3 and 7 months. I wouldn't be worried if she lost a tooth right now. But you can tell if the one she lost is really sharp, the adult canines are more rounded.

my pup still had some of her baby teeth, she didnt get her full set until 8 months old. You should see them on the floor when they fall out, i kept all of my pups, but sometimes you dont ever find them. The puppy ones are white, small, and very sharp, adult teeth are darker, thicker and not like little needles. Your vet should tell you when you have your booster.

Baby tooth. Puppy teeth are sharp. Doggy teeth are thicker & more dull.

Most dogs have all their adult teeth by 6-7months old. She lost a baby tooth. Adult teeth are very difficult to remove.
