Any dog dental health experts?

My 8 month old pom has eight canine teeth! His baby ones don't seem to want to fall out. The top sets have moved so that the baby ones are behind the adult ones and the bottom sets are side by side (with the baby ones seemingly being pushed out towards his cheeks) My vet says I should have them extracted because they will interfere with his bite but due to the cost of this procedure (And being a first time pet owner) I'm wondering if it's completly necessary. Any suggestions?

you should get them extracted or his other teeth will be crocked... probably a result of poor breeding (especially if you got him from a pet store)





this is very common in some breeds such as Chinese Crested, but also in other small breeds - call the breeder and let her know - if it is a good breeder and other pups have had the same problems she will not breed that mom dog again
Reply:Just a side note - some breeders will also reimburse your for the cost,or at least part of the cost, of any veterinary work that is a result of genetic faults/poor breeding. Report It

Reply:This dog needs those baby teeth pulled now!
Reply:This is 100% neccesary. Your vet is absolutely correct. These teeth should've been removed when he was aroung 4 months old. Get it done immediatly.
Reply:Another vote for pull them. In the long run you won't be sorry.
Reply:you need to have them pulled out as they will interfer with the dogs normal bitting and eatting pattern and can damage the good teeth or break them off and then you'll have alot more problems. many vets will finance it, if you can't afford it all at once.
Reply:Have them extracted when you bring him in for his neutering (like two months ago!).
