Hi,
It will be worth taking your dog to the vet. If her teeth are falling out there is obviously something going on and she is probably suffering from advanced dental disease. It's unfair to leave her be as she will most likely be in some pain and discomfort. I recently had to take my mum's dogs to the vets for similar reasons, they are both ten and both were suffering from advanced dental disease. It is quite expensive to have dental work done, but it's definitely worth having her checked out to ensure that she isn't suffering.
For all those people who are being judgemental and so ignorant that they think you can report someone for not looking after their dogs teeth....
Not everybody is aware that dental rountine is just as important in dogs as it is people. This practice has only been adopted in more recent times and in failing to brush your dogs teeth does not mean you are neglecting your dog. I have dogs and they have dental hygiene routine's however owners were never previously made aware of bad dental disease can be for pets and therefore there are many people who are not aware of the need. Just because they don't adopt this routine does not mean the are neglecting, abusing or loving their animal any less. I'm sure the animal protection societies have more important things to do with their time than deal with people with such trivial issues...find out what real animal abuse is about and concern yourself with that.

I have three chi's too. I don't have a clue whats wrong as Im not a vet...question....what did you use to clean their teeth with???? Just curious......Also, your 15 and on this question and answer I would assume you are on here for no other reason but to ask questions in hopes their might be one person who has come across an issue like this...you cannot make your parents do anything...you cannot make decisions...I hope someone out there can help you ...but taking the time now to be on here, asking questions, shows me that you might be a great pet owner when your old enough to take responsiblitly for your actions with your pets as an adult...good luck

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU2aU
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

I'd take her to a vet, &, when she was younger, since she is a poodle, did you play "tug-a-war" with her?
If you played fetch, did you pullthe ball from her mouth?
This is a mistake many people make.
If you pull toys out at a young age, the animal's teeth will fall out when they're older, so yeah, take her to a vet.
Hope this helps! :D

Well you better take her to the vet then, hadn't you? Sounds like she has some serious dental problems, must be very painful for her!
Imagine what it would be like for YOU if you couldn't chew food because your gums were black and your teeth were falling out. Would you go on the computer? Or might you be trying to find an emergency dentist to save you from the pain?

She should've started getting teeth cleanings by age 4. You need to get her in for a dental, it will only get worse!

Go to the vets for pete's sake!
You can't neglect your dog's oral health like that! You should've brushed her teeth or given her dental bones or chew toys with nubs.

5 years is young for the dog to loose it's teeth. tehre is probably gum disease.
She realy needs to see a vet teh teeth problem could either be from an known health problem or it can cause health problems ( some are fatal)

either gum disease (although some dogs have black gums.
or those are her baby teeth falling out.
For now, just to make sure she is ok, take her to the vet, and give her some TLC!
Hope she feels better!
