Puppies usually start to lose their teeth when they are two months old. When they are 4 to 6 months old, the deciduous teeth in the mouth begin to fall out and the permanent teeth begin to grow. If there is a lack of calcium at this time, the deciduous teeth will not fall out, the permanent teeth will grow slowly, the enamel layer is thin, and the structure is not strong, and it is easy to have double rows of teeth or uneven permanent teeth. By 8-9 months of age, all baby teeth should be lost and replaced with flawless white permanent teeth. However, the teeth of some puppies develop slowly, and the permanent teeth fail to push out the deciduous teeth, resulting in a double row of teeth.

Newborn puppies have no teeth. As the dog grows up day by day, the teeth in the mouth will slowly begin to grow. Due to calcium deficiency or other reasons, the dog's permanent teeth will grow slowly, the enamel layer is thin, and the structure is not strong, so the dog will grow double rows of teeth.

The dangers of dogs having double rows of teeth:

1. Those deciduous teeth that have not fallen out normally will affect the normal development of the permanent teeth, lead to serious deformities of the permanent teeth, cause deformities in the dog's bite, and affect the dog's daily diet.

2. Another hazard of double rows of teeth is that it is easier for dirt to remain. It is easier to leave food residues between the two parallel teeth, and it will be more difficult to clean. This will greatly increase the chance of pet dogs having bad breath and contracting oral diseases.

3. Double rows of teeth can easily cause bacteria to breed in the mouth. In severe cases, it can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs, and can lead to periodontal disease over time, which may eventually make it difficult for dogs to eat, thus affecting their life span by 1-2 years.

Solutions for dogs with double rows of teeth:

1. When the dog is teething and changing (starting at 2 months old), do not give it soft food. Instead, let it eat some dry dog ​​food. And make sure your dog gets enough calcium. My little one didn't eat enough super calcium and shark cartilage powder at that time, so he didn't have double rows of teeth.

2. During the process of teething and replacement of your pet dog, you must pay close attention to its condition to see if it can replace all its teeth normally. If a problem is discovered, it must be solved in time to prevent the occurrence of double rows of teeth.

3. During the process of the dog’s teeth growing and changing, you can prepare some bones and chewing gum for the dog to chew, use strings to play tug-of-war games with them, and often use your hands to help the dog move its deciduous teeth to loosen them. .

PS: If your precious dog still maintains a double row of teeth after 1 year old, then don’t be depressed and take it to the dentist as soon as possible. If necessary, the dog’s deciduous teeth should be extracted.
