For first-time dog owners, losing teeth may be a bit of a miracle. Many people have never thought that dogs can change their teeth just like people. They have never considered the age at which dogs change teeth and the issues that should be paid attention to when dogs change teeth. Now the editor will give some advice to first-time dog owners and puppies under three months old. Parents who have raised dogs, let’s talk about the problem of dog teeth changing.
Owners of dogs losing their teeth should be prepared in advance
As parents, after understanding that dog babies still have the problem of losing teeth, after three months, if the dog bites something particularly serious, it is necessary to prepare in advance. Prevented. Shoes, mats and other items that are easy for the dog to come into contact with and taste good should be put away as much as possible. Although furniture that cannot be chewed cannot be put away, once you see the dog chewing the furniture, you must stop it in time. If you really can't control it, When there is no one at home, you can consider temporarily locking it in a smaller space: a separate room with less furniture, or a cage. There are also wires, power supplies, detergents and other things that may cause harm to dogs. We must find ways to keep them out of reach, because dogs in this period are crazy chewers. I myself have experienced this as soon as I enter the house. I found that one of the four pairs of shoes had been chewed up. Alas, it was useless to blame it. I could only blame myself for underestimating the destructiveness of dogs when their teeth change.The owner of the dog’s new teeth should provide things that can be chewed
Since the things that cannot be chewed are hidden, you must prepare some chewable things for the dog. Things to chew on, such as knotted rope toys, real bone teething sticks, etc. (don’t eat them often, as it may lead to pancreatitis). If you want to buy something like dog bones that can be eaten, it is recommended to buy something larger in size so that it can have something to chew on for a long time and it is not easy for it to swallow it whole.
Methods to Reduce Teething Pain for Dogs
Dogs will also feel pain when their teeth change, so you can also find ways to help relieve the pain of teething. The book says that dogs can be allowed to chew ice cubes, but the editor personally feels that if it is not summer, it is not appropriate for puppies at this period to chew ice cubes, as it can easily cause diarrhea. However, it is a good way to freeze a wet towel and then bite it on your dog. This will allow it to enjoy the cold, itchy and pain-relieving feeling without causing it to eat too much ice. You can try it.
Owners should pay attention to the dog’s new teeth
When the dog’s teeth change, it is normal for the lost teeth to be missing. It is very likely that the teeth were mixed with food and eaten, or they may have fallen somewhere. Well, don’t worry about this. What you need to do is to observe the growth of new teeth every day. Sometimes a lot of new teeth grow in and the old teeth don't fall out. If it goes on for a long time, it will easily cause the new teeth to grow out of position and some problems with the gums. If it has an old tooth that won’t fall out, for a well-behaved dog, you can try shaking the old tooth at home with your hands to help it fall out. If that doesn’t work,Just go to the doctor for help. Using special pliers, you can easily pull out the tooth and it only costs a few dozen yuan.How to prevent double rows of teeth in dogs
Some small dogs, such as Teddy Bichons, are prone to having double rows of teeth. It is best for owners to give their dogs some teething sticks to chew on when their teeth are changing, which can help them compact and fall off. You can also give your dog a calcium supplement. Also note: Do not give your dog calcium tablets that are consumed by humans (the absorption effect is different), and do not take too much calcium (eating too much calcium tablets will also affect the growth and development of your dog). Generally, just follow the dosage standards stated on the calcium tablets for pets.
