Dog people please help my sister is dog sitting a little puppy small breed and her top and bottom eye teeth babies and adults are both in. Is this normal for small breeds?

@KeiraKonjoB00 As I recall, yes. Giving them some stuff to chew on (Rope, rawhide, sock toys, etc.) should help sort it out.

@kel @KeiraKonjoB00 We gave our puppy a rope toy, and now he has a permanently deformed tooth that didn't grow in right because he managed to damage the baby teeth with the rope toy.

@KeiraKonjoB00 we gave our puppies benepone puppy chew toys to help them. benebones were always a favorite for all our dogs

@KeiraKonjoB00
Normal ? No
but small breeds do tend to retain their baby teeth
Baby teeth should be gone by 6 months of age
If not there is the risk of adult teeth coming in mis-aligned and or hair / food becoming impacted causing gum recession
The owners can speak with their vet regarding extraction ( if not lost ) at 6 months when they spay or neuter them
