You don't have to do anything. Puppies lose their first teeth and permanent teeth grow in their place. This happens at about five months old so your dog is right on schedule. Remember when you were about six years old and lost your first tooth. This is the canine version of the same thing.

Since I grew up with a mom that never let a wiggling tooth alone, I guess I came by my habit naturally....if they're really loose, then they come out. I just pull them. Now, if the dog is totally opposed to such an idea, then I'll let them alone, they'll come out on their own in their own good time.

First of all calm down this is normal!! Just like little kids they will loose there baby teeth and grow adult teeth, You should get your puppy something to chew on and maybe start gving him softer food, or just put water on the dry food . Your puppy will need somthing to chew on after the teeth come out and the new ones come in so make sure you give something to her/him so that your puppy doesnt chew up somthing like your shoes! Good Luck with your little one

Your puppy is getting ready to lose its baby tooth, just leave it alone, it will fall out on its own..

Check the gum if it looks really sore then consult your vet, if not the tooth will fall out when its ready, that is if its the first tooth, if its the adult tooth definately consult your vet.

Dont do anything. It will fall out all by it self. If it is hanging on by a mear thread then pull it out. I have had to pull some of my pups teeth out when he had them just dangling there. Other wise it will fall out on its own. Stop stressing ok.

when they lose their baby teeth, you will be finding them everywhere, especially in their food bowl. You don't have to do anything. Your dog is teething. They have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years, your pup isn't worried, you don't need to worry. Just provide lots of chew toys, and puppy teething toys.

Nothing. Puppies lose their teeth just like children do.

my 5 month jack/pug JUST spit out a molar like 10 mins ago
and before that i just noticed blood on a few of his toys...he was panting and i saw he was missing his bottom fang, so im gonna guess he swallowed that one. so you could prolly leave it unless its dangling there=p
