Content: Puppy teeth are typically much smaller than adult teeth; they are very sharp and they are usually bright white. Step 3
Check to see is she has all 28 of her puppy teeth in place. If so, she is likely between 8 weeks and 3 months old. If she still has baby teeth erupting, she’s younger than that, which can mean that she might need special care; puppies younger than 8 weeks should be living with their doggy mother. If that’s the case, ask your vet for advice. Step 4
Determine whether her permanent incisors – the front teeth – are coming in. These are usually the first permanent teeth to show up, and seeing them means that the pup is about 4 months old, give or take a couple of weeks. The canines are usually the last to come in, so if you don’t see them yet, she’s likely 6 months or less.
