How to Tell the Age of a Puppy using their Teeth
July 10, 2018
Say cheese!! It’s time to discover how to tell the age of a puppy based on their teeth. Yes, it’s all about teeth today. We will discuss how veterinarians determine dog age using a teeth chart and share how your puppy’s teeth are the key to predicting their age. Often, adopted dogs are a mixture of multiple breeds, so it’s hard to use breed or predicted body size to estimate their age (of course you could use an Embark DNA test to find out his/her predicted adult weight and breed mix)! Teeth are a reliable measure of age whether your pup is a rescue or not. In fact, studying your dog’s teeth may be the most accurate resource when investigating how to tell the age of a puppy. Teeth are a particularly reliable way to determine a puppy’s age because your dog will lose all baby teeth before he/she is about 6 months old. However, not all dogs follow this typical progression. Your vet is an expert in predicting dog age using a teeth chart and should be used as a resource.
