Question
hello i am just wondering if this is normal is it making space for adult teeth

Answer
All dogs lose their baby teeth and grow in adult teeth. They have their molars by 4 months, the back ones by 5 months and start losing their canines at 5-6 months for the adult ones to grow in. Any retained baby teeth need to be pulled out by the time the dog is 7 months old and is being spayed or neutered.
