Determining A Dog’s Age

There are many reasons why it’s important to know a dog’s age. From the type of diet he should be eating, to what type of behavior to expect, and to determine if he is suffering a health problem or is simply getting older and slowing down. While it’s quite easy to tell a puppy from an adult dog, many fully grown dogs look a lot alike whether they’re 3 or 13. Fortunately, since our pups can’t speak up and tell us what year they were born, there are a few simple ways to make a close estimate of a dog’s age. Examine the Dog’s Teeth
Checking your dog’s teeth is the most common (and easiest) way to know how old he is. Normally, dogs develop all of their permanent teeth when they are about 7 months old. 1. If your pooch’s teeth are all clean and white, it is possible that he is about 1 year of age or younger. 2. Once you see a yellowish discoloration at the back of his teeth, your pooch may be about a year or two.
