In a dog, when would the last of the permanent teeth come in?

My 13 pound, 7 month old poodle mix still has not gotten her teeth between her canines and her molars. Is this normal? Also, her lower front teeth are very very small while her canine teeth seem about average.





She eats well and chews on toys etc with no apparent problems but I do see her constantly shift her food to the back of her mouth so that she can get a grip on it.





Thanks for your replies.

It can take till 8 months for permanent teeth to come in,I%26#039;d wait just a bit longer.
Reply:Thank you. I like your answer too. Co-incidentally I received a postcard from the vet saying that she is due for a shot. So this is going to work out perfectly! Report It

Reply:A lot of smaller dogs have teeth issues. You should probably bring her to a vet so they can x-ray her mouth to see if there are any problems that you can%26#039;t see. They can fix her up good as new!
Reply:Your dog should already have the permanent teeth. You need to go to a vet that has training in dental disease and has access to dental radiography (different from regular radiographs in both technique and machinery). Vets get minimal dental training, so finding the right vet is very important. I refer all of mine to someone that is doing her fellowship in dentistry.
