Rottweiler puppies typically start losing their baby teeth around the age of 3 to 4 months, and this process can last until they are 6 months old. During this teething period, you might notice loose teeth or see your puppy chewing more vigorously than usual.
- Increased chewing and biting behaviors
- Visible loose or missing teeth
- Slight bleeding from the gums
- Gum tenderness or reluctance to eat hard foods
- Occasional mild bad breath
The teething stage is a normal part of your Rottweiler's development as their adult teeth come in. To help your puppy through this period, provide plenty of safe chew toys to relieve discomfort and promote healthy oral development. Monitor their mouth regularly to ensure there are no signs of infection or retained baby teeth that could require veterinary attention.
If you have any concerns about your puppy's dental health, feel free to book a consultation with one of our veterinarians to ensure your puppy's teeth are developing properly.
