I have a 5 month old poodle mix and his tooth fell out of nowhere. Just wanted to know if this is whole tooth and if he’s gonna lose more teeth

This is a baby tooth so it’s normal to lose them. Between four and six months dogs will lose all of their baby teeth. Sometimes you won’t see them when they fall out. Poodles do sometimes have retained canine baby teeth so if those aren’t gone by seven months they may need to be removed so the adult teeth can come in properly.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. Most puppies start losing baby teeth around 16 weeks of age. So this is a little early, but likely normal. You can check his front teeth and see if he has lost any of those as well. I hope this information helps!

Yes, this is normal. Sometimes small breed puppies may not lose the puppy teeth correctly, if the baby teeth are still there at 8 months of age, have her examined by the veterinarian. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Based on his age I agree that these are all baby teeth. Dogs lose their canine deciduous teeth between 5-6 months of age. Sounds like a normal puppy to me! Thanks for posting the question and using Pet Coach.
