My 3-month-old puppies play too rough and one bled. Is this normal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 3 months and 28 days old | 25 lbs

I have 2 puppies who are both mixbreeds and they are about 3 months old. Ever since I got them which was about a month ago, they are always fighting and I get a little scared. But I know they are just animals and they want to just play. But just last week, my other puppy her name is Snow, she and Charlee were fighting and I later saw that Snow had blood on her face that wasn't like fishing but it was a few droplets. Should I be concerned?

Puppies love to play but often do not know when it is too rough. When they start getting too rough and hurting on another it is best to tell them no and separate them. They will eventually learn the appropriate level of play!
