Puppy teeth usually start falling out around 3–4 months of age and are typically all gone by about 6–8 months, replaced by adult teeth.

Quick Scoop

Typical teething timeline

  • 3–4 months: Baby incisors (the small front teeth) begin to loosen and fall out.
  • 4–6 months: Canines (the longer fang teeth) and premolars start to fall out and be replaced by adult teeth.
  • By about 6–8 months: Most puppies have lost all their baby teeth and have a full set of 42 adult teeth.

So if your puppy is in that 3–6 month window, extra chewing, little blood spots on toys, and the occasional tiny tooth on the floor are usually normal signs that their puppy teeth are falling out.

If your pup is older than about 7–8 months and still has obvious baby teeth, or you see doubled-up teeth in the same spot, it’s a good idea to have your vet check for “retained” baby teeth, because those sometimes need professional removal.
