Dogs, like humans, have deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. Puppy teeth start to emerge from the gums around two weeks of age, and by about 8-10 weeks, they will have all 28 deciduous teeth!
When do puppies lose their baby teeth?
Puppies start to lose their baby teeth around four months of age, and by six months, their permanent teeth will begin to grow in. By 7-8 months, they will have all 42 permanent teeth!
Bad breath and rotten teeth?
You may notice that dogs that eat dry food tend to have more rotten teeth because dry food contains a lot of carbohydrates, which can stick to their teeth.
Additionally, dogs' saliva does not contain amylase, so they cannot break down carbohydrates. Foods that stick to their teeth can produce bacteria, leading to bad breath and rotten teeth!
Their poop stinks too!
Because the nutrients in dry food are not what dogs need, dogs that eat dry food may also have gastrointestinal issues, resulting in very smelly poop. Just like humans, if a dog's digestive system is healthy, their poop won't smell as bad!
