My dog is 5 months old, should she still be losing teeth?

She's changing her baby teeth - some dogs are faster than others, my corgi is almost 6 months, his front teeth are all changed, but the ones on the side still needs to come out.

My dog is 5 months old, should she still be losing teeth?
yes. it's normal.
Reply:yes. they start to lose them at 4 and a half months and stop at around 5 months.
Reply:My puppy didn't start losing a lot of teeth until 5 months. I wouldn't worry about it until 8 months.
Reply:yes its normal. my puppy started to lose her teeth around 4 1/2 months old and she stoped losing them around 5 1/2 to 6 months old.
Reply:It's not abnormal for puppies to lose them up to six months or so according to my vet. Actually my 3 y/o 11lb dog still has one of his baby teeth. The vet said that provided we keep his teeth clean, there isn't really a reason to take it out. My puppy is almost 5 months and I've never actually noticed him losing a tooth, I just know that he had a gap between his front teeth and his back and now he doesn't (which is a bit of a bummer because I used to use that gap as a place to put my fingers if I had to pry something out of his mouth, like my cloths. AT least he's getting much better with "drop it")
Reply:Yes, it's normal- our male didn't get all of his in until after 6 monhts.
Reply:its normal,most dogs do it
Reply:usually by 6 months they will have lost all their baby teeth, but not always, when I had my dog, a shih-tzu poodle mix, spayed at 6 months, the vet had to pull 4 of her baby teeth that were still strongly imbedded.
