Myy puppies, puppy teeth have rotten, is this bad ?
Yes, black teeth are not a good thing. As a responsible pet owner, you need to take him to the vet and have that checked out. It could be causing him pain. Also, that is fairly unusual, so there may be some underlying issues that needs to be addressed.
Reply:yes it is bad you must be feeding him foods with high sugar levels in them, you should be feeding him dry biscuits which clean his teeth and then you would not get this problem. Take him to the vet before the situation deteriorates and they start giving him discomfort that's if it isn't already. Take him to the vet and they will get them polished up. If your teeth were rotten wouldn't you want them fixed? would you think that its bad if they were your teeth? its the same for the dog.
Reply:That sounds like peridontis disease. If your dog will let you try to take a dental tool (the hook shaped one and see if it scrapes off. It should come off like an eggshell. Make sure you get slightly under the gums as well. If your dog will not let you take him to the vet to get a dental cleaning. Peridontis disease allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream through the gumline and can make your dog very ill. You can prevent this by feeding a good quality dry food and limiting or negating wet food from the diet. Brushing your dogs teeth once a week and giving carrots for treats helps too. Rope toys act as dental floss to get tartar and plaque from between the teeth. The gumline is a sensative area on dogs and needs proper care.
Reply:That is not a good sign take the dog to the vet and have the teeth checked.

Reply:Dogs will loose their puppy teeth, but I don't think they turn black. Better have your vet check it out.
