This blog is a guide to determine the age of a dog, as you know when puppies are born have no tooth structure, this begins to emerge when they are 4 to 5 weeks old, and when they reach 8 weeks of age they already have all the temporary teeth (28).
By the time they are 4 months old they begin to move their milk teeth for the permanent ones, from 6 months to 7 they must have all their permanent teeth.
This dog is going out the permanent canine as you will see this one of milk too, it is not something to praise because later it can fall, but we must be attentive because there are cases that the milk tooth does not fall.
When a dog already reaches a certain age the teeth wear out and get yellow, for example, when they are 2 to 4 years old. But it also depends if your dog chews many things, toys, bones among others, teeth can wear out long before your pet reaches the age of 6.
Already when they are reaching a more advanced age example of 9 to 10 years and the wear is too noticeable and the lack of some dental structures, although I would also say by the tartar and yellow, but in my opinion that would not take so in account to what refers to the tartar since I have known older dogs with their teeth well clean I would not say white as milk but if they have a yellow tone and of course they will miss some teeth, that's why it is better to look for the wear and the lack of some dental structures.
Something I forgot to mention tartar does not come out because of age, ((COMES OUT OF LACK OF CLEANING)) because customers have arrived with their old pets and the tartar of these dogs is incredible and they say the typical excuse " my dog is old that's normal ", NOOOOO! IT IS OUR DUTY TO CLEAN THE TEETH OF OUR PETS. In the post tomorrow I will talk about ways to clean your pet's teeth.
