my 5 month old golden retriever has just recently started losing her teeth....is it normal for her to lose them all around the same time..and also when she bites toys she gets blood from her teeth all over them is this ok?

It's normal and if you'd like to help her feel better, give her an ice cube to chase :) The ice will make her gums feel better. My 3 yr. old golden doodle still sits in front of the freezer waiting for ice like she did when she was teething sometimes. I figure it's because something is bothering her and always give it to her.

Yes. They normally have a spurt where their teeth fall out very quickly and around the same time. The blood on the toys is most likely from where a tooth just fell out. When my 9 month old puppy went through that phase, she was loosing around 5 teeth in one day.

This is all normal. at this age they are loosing their puppy teeth and getting adult teeth. Sometime they will bleed from teh loose teeth that aren't quite ready to come out but again it's normal and nothing to wory about.
Just a suggestion if you are not planning on breeding your dog this would be a good time to have it fixed. It will help with her health if not breeding. She can start her heat usually about 6 months and if she's inside it's quite messy and if outside watch her carefully as a male will do most anything to get to a female in heat.

Yes it's perfectly normal and they will bleed a little! Puppies lose their baby teeth just like we do when we are babies, to make room for the permanent ones to come in.

Perfectly normal. And yes, they bleed a little - just like with kids.
Don't worry about it. The fun thing is trying to FIND a tooth or two to save them. Normally they swallow them.
Be thankful. No more needle teeth!!!!

She is losing her baby teeth most likely. If she plays with hard, chewable toys, they can contribute to those teeth coming out more readily.

Yes, it's normal. Just like babies teething and kids losing their baby teeth.

Sounds pretty normal for a 5 month old puppy. However, it shouldn't go on for longer than a week or so. If you see anything alarming, of course consult your vet.

Yep, this is normal. I use to freak when I would see my Shelties toys with blood on them but then I would find a tooth.

I would guess so..my dogs never bled, but think of children. When they loose teeth blood poors out.
