Most friends who have dogs at home must know that the life span of dogs is not very long, so we must cherish every day with them. However, it is understood that many friends have recently raised questions, how to determine the age of a dog from its teeth? Actually, the method is very simple!
The natural lifespan of a dog varies with the species, living environment or level of feeding and management, but is generally 10 to 15 years. Dogs’ teeth are the same as those of humans. They are divided into deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. They grow and shed respectively at a certain period after birth. The deciduous teeth of puppies gradually grow after 20 days of age. The deciduous teeth grow in full length at the age of 2 months, and they shed into permanent teeth successively at the age of 3 to 12 months. The deciduous teeth are fine and white.
The permanent teeth are much larger than the deciduous teeth. They are light beige and bright. Feeding causes regular wear of most permanent teeth, especially the incisors and canine teeth, which are the most obvious. This can be used to judge the age of the dog.
