My senior Pomeranian's teeth are bad. Should I get them pulled?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

I'm looking into possibly getting my 11 year old Pomeranian's teeth pulled. Over the past few months they really have become and issue for her (some are falling out, her breath is terrible, she sometimes has trouble chewing) and I'm wondering if it's worth it to have them all pulled or just some pulled or what is recommended from a vet. Thanks for the help!

Getting Misty a dental with the vet is the best idea! The vet will determine what teeth need to be pulled, and which ones can stay. The vet will save as many teeth as they can. I would do what the vet recommends. I hope this helps!
