bozthepup Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi everyone Can people give me any info on the process of baby teeth and puppies ? Boz has lost a couple of his front ones; I'm assuming the adult teeth will grow in their place !!! Do their canines only grow once ? Also, I like to give him bones to supplement his diet but wonder if they might be a little hard on his teeth just yet. he's 16 weeks. tks !

Dozersmum Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Bozthepup Our lab started losing his baby teeth, including canines at around the same age. He was having small brisket bones only at this age. Hope this helps, but someone else may know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Our pups all get bones as soon as they can chew!! :rolleyes: He is plenty old enough.. and some nice chicken wings/pieces of lamb brisket will be very welcome for a teething pup! he will gradually lose all his baby teeth. to be replaced (once only, same as humans) with nice shiny big teeth!

luvsdogs Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A lamb shank would give him & his teeth a good workout when he tears the meat off the bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirra_Bomber_Zeus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My pup started having chicken wings and chicken legs as soon as we bought him home at 8 1/2 weeks. We also started giving him a lamb shank once a week (they are more of a recreation type bone for him at the moment since he cant chew it up completely like our other dogs). He is 12 weeks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I gave my 4 week old pups a small section of lamb rib today. One got stuck into it straight away, ripping the meat off, the other was a bit slower. So yes pups can have bones and yes I didn't leave the bones with the puppies after they had finished with them, the big dogs cleaned up after them.

Kirra_Bomber_Zeus Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Lamb ribs - I will have to try and find some of those! Do you get them from the butcher or the supermarket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
