My 10 month old puppy continues to whine when he plays with his toys. Does not matter if it is a squeak toy or a non squeak toy. Do I need to get him into see a Veterinary Dentist?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not necessarily. Your primary care veterinarian would be an excellent source as they are likely very familiar with dental conditions. Having said that, if he is whining from pain, this is likely due to his maturing teeth. You can try using teething toys which help them when their teeth feel uncomfortable. You may find this online or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a good night!
