Generally, golden retriever puppies will start to grow their deciduous teeth around 20 days after birth. The incisors will grow in about 4-6 weeks after birth, and all the deciduous teeth will grow in about 2 months. At this time, the deciduous teeth are small. White and sharp.
After a Golden Retriever’s deciduous teeth have grown in, it will begin to replace its teeth. A Golden Retriever that is 2-4 months old will replace its first deciduous incisor, and a Golden Retriever that is 5-6 months old will begin to replace its second, third deciduous incisor and canine teeth. , about when the golden retriever is eight months old, all the deciduous teeth can be replaced by permanent teeth. Of course, this is just a common phenomenon, and some golden retrievers change teeth earlier or later. This is related to the golden retriever's own physique, the food it eats, and the environment in which it grows. Generally speaking, there is no problem if there is a time difference of 1-2 months, and parents do not need to worry too much.
However, if your dog is slow to grow new teeth during the tooth replacement process, or has symptoms such as double rows of teeth or inflammation, you must take your golden retriever to see a doctor in time. Paying attention to calcium supplementation during tooth replacement can avoid many problems, so you can give your dog calcium powder or foods high in calcium, such as tofu, dried shrimps, kelp, etc.
Golden retrievers like to chew on things while their teeth are changing. It is best to put things that cannot be chewed at home at a high place, and hide or wrap things like wires to prevent the dog from damaging the furniture or even hurting itself. You can prepare dog chews or large bone sticks for your dog to grind his teeth and relieve the itching and pain of teething.
