Unfortunately, many pet owners are realizing too late the importance of good oral health for their pets. Sometimes, despite their best intentions, they are sabotaging their pet s oral health. At the beginning Baby Teeth Puppies and kittens, like people, have a primary or deciduous dentition. They are not firmly anchored in place by strong mineralized bone and can easily be broken or pulled out of position.
Puppies are very oral and enjoy having things in their mouths.
Quite honestly, we should avoid the temptation of giving them hard objects, and playing tug of war with them. Since the adult fang teeth are developing under the gums close by to where the baby fangs are, these developing adult teeth can also be damaged. This can cause them to either never erupt or to come up in an improper position. This improper tooth location can cause injury to the mouth s soft tissue. Hard objects like Indestructible Bones , Hooves , sticks and rocks can break teeth.
