lab puppy teeth

Question
Our 5 month old lab is losing her puppy teeth.  I noticed she still has both sets of her front teeth and she is having trouble eating... is this normal or do we need to get the puppy teeth pulled?

Answer
Hi Greg,

It is normal for some of the puppy teeth to stay in as the adult teeth come down.  However they should be falling out soon after.  If this continues, they may need to be pulled.  Check with your vet on how long you should wait.
