Dog replacement period for dogs will last for a period of time, usually all completed when the dog is about nine months old. During the period of teeth changing and growing, you may experience a loss of appetite. At this time, you can prepare easy-to-digestible food for it to eat.

What should I pay attention to when changing my teeth

Dog do not eat tooth or too strong food during the tooth change period, as this will stimulate new teeth and gums and easily lead to gastrointestinal problems.

During this period, parents should pay more attention to the growth of new teeth in dogs. Sometimes a lot of new teeth grow, but the old teeth cannot fall. Over time, it is easy to cause improper position of the new teeth or cause gum problems. If the old teeth don't fall off, parents try to gently shake the dog's old teeth with their hands to help them fall off, or look for a pet hospital to ask a doctor to help the tooth extraction.

When changing teeth, the dog will have a serious tendency to bite because it feels itchy or uncomfortable in the teeth. Therefore, parents must pay attention to precautions during this special period. Never underestimate the destructiveness of a dog's teeth replacement. All items that will become targets for dogs to bite should be put away to avoid heroic sacrifice. Especially for wires, power supplies, detergents, etc., you must avoid contact with the dog to avoid causing harm to the dog.

During this period, dogs' teeth will be very lonely, so parents can prepare pet-specific toys, such as dog biting glue or grinding teeth, which can transfer the dog's energy from furniture and kill two birds with one stone.

In special periods, if a dog has the bad habit of biting randomly, don’t blame it too much. We can use rewards instead of punishment.在它乱咬家具时及时严厉制止,然后引导狗狗去啃咬自己的玩具,如果狗狗乖乖听话,一定不要吝啬你的赞美和鼓励,慢慢狗狗就会养成好习惯啦。

Dogs need calcium supplementation during the dog's tooth change period, so during the dog's teeth change period, owners should try to choose natural dog food with high calcium content, high protein and low fat, which can effectively prevent uneven teeth of dogs from being dispersed or permanent teeth; at the same time, increasing vitamin D intake will also promote the absorption of calcium and the development of teeth. Give the dog a dry dog ​​food when it is two months old and avoid soft food. If a dog eats animal liver for a long time or uses meat as its staple food, then it should supplement calcium in moderation.

Precautions for dental replacement period

Tooster shovelers should pay more attention to the changes during dogs' teeth changing to see if they can change all their teeth normally. If they cannot, they should help them with artificial power in time. Give it more dog bite glue, use ropes to do tug-of-war games, and often use hands to move its baby teeth to loosen it.

In addition, dogs have a strong curiosity, and their curiosity during teeth grinding is more prominent. Owners must be careful of the power cords at home, and they should be tapered to the floor, and must be well kept in the kitchen and bathroom doors, so as to keep all chemical detergents out of reach of the dog.
