So I was looking at my pups mouth and noticed his adult canines are starting to come in. They are merely little stubs of whiteness that are growing. What I also noticed was that his baby canines were still there.. to give you a general idea heres a picture:



Only that the adult teeth are a bit smaller. My main question is will his adult teeth eventually push out his baby teeth or should I get the vet to take them out? Have any of you every dealt with a situation like this?

The baby teeth should fall out on their own, if they are still intact when the adult canines are most of the way in, then id have them removed.

It's been my experience that most will fall out by themselves, Balon had both baby and adult upper canines when he was neutered so at that time they removed them just as a precaution, it was easier to simply take them out while he was already under instead of having to possibly put him under again to remove them. Interesting enough he is missing an adult premolar on the bottom, baby one fell out and nothing replaced it, weird, but vet said it wasn't that uncommon,

Hey did your pup ever lose the baby canines? If so, how?
I got the same situation and mine recently turned 5 months. Really concerned about an extraction I could potentially not afford
