Puppies with milk teeth generally have a full set of teeth at around 4-6 weeks old, which is around 28 to 42 days. Because puppies' physiques vary, the time for milk teeth to fully grow may also differ. Some puppies absorb more milk from their mothers, resulting in faster tooth growth compared to other puppies. Once a puppy's milk teeth have grown, it can be weaned off. Owners can prepare some milk pudding or puppy canned food to help the puppy transition to dry food.

At around 5 to 6 months old, the second and third milk molars, as well as all milk canines, will be replaced. It is not until around 8 months old that the process of teething and tooth replacement gradually comes to an end, and the puppy's oral cavity will be completely occupied by permanent teeth.

Precautions for a puppy's tooth growth

1. Stop breastfeeding when the puppy starts teething to avoid biting and damaging the mother's nipples. Instead, the owner can soften the dog food with sheep milk powder and feed it to the puppy. Do not feed the puppy dry dog food directly, as it may affect their digestion.

2. When puppies are teething, they may feel itchy in their gums and tend to chew on things randomly. Therefore, owners should promptly put away items that are prone to being bitten and ensure that the items used by the puppy are cleaned and disinfected to prevent the puppy from ingesting bacteria.

3. When the puppy's milk teeth have grown mostly, after eating a period of soft dog food, it is time to start feeding them dry dog food. Dry dog food also serves the purpose of teeth grinding for milk teeth, and it can promote the gastrointestinal peristalsis of the puppy.
