Why does a Golden Retriever lose its teeth? It may be because the Golden Retriever is in the tooth replacement period, and the deciduous teeth will fall out. The Golden Retriever will gradually lose its teeth at about 2-3 months old, and this process may continue until 6-8 months old. For example, premature tooth loss in adult dogs may be due to eating too hard food, or calcium deficiency. Golden retriever tooth decay or other gum diseases can also cause premature tooth loss.

1. The little golden retriever is in the period of changing teeth

Young Golden Retrievers will start to grow teeth around 20 days old, and will gradually lose teeth around 2-3 months old. This process may continue until around 6-8 months old. During this period, golden retriever teeth will slowly grow back if they fall out. Of course, if you want to ensure that the pet dog can successfully change teeth during this period, the nutritional supply must be comprehensive and sufficient. Especially calcium nutrition, which plays a very important role in the tooth replacement process of golden retrievers. If there is a lack of calcium, deciduous teeth will not fall out easily and new teeth will grow slowly. Of course, too much calcium nutrition is not good either. To ensure that Golden Retrievers can successfully change their teeth without growing double rows of teeth, reasonable calcium supplementation is particularly important.

2. Reasons for premature tooth loss in adult dogs

(1) External force causes teeth to loosen and fall out due to accidental eating of too hard food.

(2) Calcium deficiency. Like humans, calcium deficiency in golden retrievers is also very harmful. Premature tooth loss is an important manifestation.

(3) Dental disease itself, resulting in Golden Retriever tooth decay or other gum diseases due to diet, resulting in Golden Retriever tooth loss.
