I have two dogs, one is about 10 months (Charlie)had I saved a few of his puppy teeth while he was teething. We just got another puppy (Lilly), who still has her puppy teeth she is about 3 months. I was comparing Lilly’s teeth to Charlie’s old teeth and I noticed her teeth were smaller then his. Dose this mean she will be smaller then him once she is full grown. They are both Mutts, so we have no projected size to assume. Is there a correlation between puppy teeth and the size of the dog? Just wondering! Thanks
Puppy teeth and size of dog?
not necessarily, but it%26#039;s a good indication. i%26#039;ve always found the size of the paws to be a better source for me to tell how big a dog will get.

I'm trying to find a film with a robotic dog, red eyes, triangular teeth?
Hello,
I know that is a stupid question, but it%26#039;s in my head I need a reply. I need to know the name of a film in which appears a robotic dog, with red eyes, triangular teeth and square-headed. This is all I can remember about the film, but I would like to know its name.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have an 11 year old dog who bares his teeth at me. How can I stop it?
He is a german shepard mix. When ever I raise my voice or scold him for doing somehting bad, He bares his teeth. It scares me (he is a huge dog) and I know he senses it. Its not good, I dont know how to stop him from doing it.
I have an 11 year old dog who bares his teeth at me. How can I stop it?
It%26#039;s difficult to answer without actually having seen it. Dogs can bare their teeth in different ways.
Below is a very crude indicator of dog-body language:
The two common ways of baring teeth are:
1. With a short mouth and ears perched forward - dominant aggression.
or
2. Bared teeth with a wide mouth, ears laid back - fearful/submissive aggression.
Since this is not a case of a young dog %26quot;trying you out%26quot;, and since forcefully settling a matter with a big, adult, aggressive dog can be dangerous, I wouldn%26#039;t advice it.
Instead for a dominant dog, try to avoid conflict. Tell him a firm no and then distract him with something you can praise him for doing right. Like telling him to sit, come, fetch etc. Besides that you%26#039;ll need to work on leadership issues, make sure you go first through doors, eat first, and you decide when the dogs plays, eats, goes out, gets petted etc. Dog with dominance issues shouldn%26#039;t be allowed in the furniture. If he%26#039;s already there, don%26#039;t force him down, lure him down and praise him once he has all four paws on the ground.
With a fearful dog, he%26#039;s signalling that with your scolding, you%26#039;ve crossed the line of what he%26#039;s comfortable with. Basically he%26#039;s frightened enough to bite to defend himself. Again, in this case you need to back off. You can send him some calming signals (make small eyes, yawn) to deflate the situation - and for another time, use less force and volume behind your scolding.
In both cases, never show that you%26#039;re afraid and remain calm and in control. Reading the dog correctly and giving the proper response is the key here. The best thing would be to have a professional trainer or dog behaviourist look at him. The wrong response from you could make the situation worse than it already is.
If it%26#039;s something he%26#039;s just started doing, you will probably need to take him to the vet for a check-up. He%26#039;s an old boy now and many dogs start to behave aggressively when they are in pain.
Good luck with him.
Reply:He started doing this suddenly, or has always acted this way towards you?? When dogs get older, they can develop old age related problems... Forgetting people they once knew, suddenly forget to pee outside, feeling lost in a room they are very familiar with etc.
But dogs also have a very good sense of people, is there something about you, that makes him bare his teeth?
Reply:This is NOT something that someone can help you with period online...if they claim they can they don%26#039;t know what their talking about. This is a VERY dangerous situation. Have you had this dog for a long time or recently took him in? If you%26#039;ve had him awhile and he never exhibited this type of behavior before, get him to a vet and check him out....pain (such as hip dysplasia) can make a dog %26quot;grouchy%26quot; and %26quot;snappy%26quot;.
However, it sounds to me like the dog does not in the least consider you the boss or %26quot;pack leader%26quot; and thus considers you a %26quot;challenge%26quot; when you raise your voice to it being a %26quot;subordinate%26quot;.
It can very easily follow thru on it%26#039;s threat. You need to talk to a trainer NOW...ASAP. Otherwise, you need to find a rescue willing to rehab the dog or as much as I hate to say this...you need to put it down, it is going to hurt someone, most likely you.
I have dealt with aggressive dogs for 15 yrs, this is no joke and he%26#039;s not bluff%26#039;n.
Reply:Definatley take him to a trainer. It seems like a dominance thing. He def senses you getting nervous when he does it, which will make him do it more, not stop it. If he thinks he can dominate you he will. I would def recommend taking him to a credible trainer or behaviorist. Good luck!
Reply:Basically, put him in his place. You have to be the dominant owner. Start when he%26#039;s a good mood. You have to get your face close to his and then raise your head above his. Then place your hands on his neck and put some pressure on it. Then, move your head closer to his neck with the ultimate goal being you pushing his head down with your head. This is dog talk for dominance. If you can accomplish this, you%26#039;ll never have a problem with a dog again. If that doesn%26#039;t work, a small slap on the nose will teach him. This how mothers teach their pups, only they nip at the nose. Since that is not an option, use your hand and gently hit his nose. Not hard though, dogs noses are very sensitive. Tell him a stern voice to stop, or knock it off. After a few nose taps, saying stop will be enough.
After I read this I should have put the disclaimer on here that it depends on how comfortable you feel doing this. That%26#039;s obvious. It takes a lot of patience and you must remain calm the entire time you do this. Be his buddy then display to him who is in charge. I hope this clears up any confusion.
If you%26#039;re not comfortable with that then yes definitely look at a behaviorist or trainer.
Reply:the first time i saw that in my friends dog, i punched him in the grill. problem solved. but you are beyond that point now so...
onyx nin... gave you all the right answers so I%26#039;ll just say to him -yup.
adam%26#039;s answer was good too, but it could also get your face bit off. that depends on the dog and depends on you. i can%26#039;t see you from my house so i don%26#039;t advize this action for you.

My 8 year old dog randomly lost 2 teeth, is this normal?
I have a teacup yorkshire who is 8 years old and recently lost 2 of her teeth on her top jaw. Is this normal for an older dog or is there something wrong?
My 8 year old dog randomly lost 2 teeth, is this normal?
Old age certainly could be a factor, but it could be other things as well. She may have bit too hard on a toy and loosened the teeth, or it could be a sign of abscess or infection. Has she been eating normally? Still able to chew hard treats or kibble? I would check with a vet just to be certain.
Reply:I have heard that yorkies lose teeth when they are older you may want a vet to check and maybe clean the other teeth to prevent losing them all.
Reply:if the dogs teeth are very dirty and you see a lot of yellow or greenish buildup the dog stands a good chance of losing more teeth not to mention the gum infection.

Does your dog have to be put under an anaesthetic to have his teeth cleaned at a vets?
Prob is i have a fear of anaesthetics i don%26#039;t want my dogs to go under one hence they have never been dressed or nutierd (i have skipped 2 minor op%26#039;s myself because of this)My eldest dog is 6, his teeth is really bad even although i brush them, give him bones and feed him a dentastick every day(it%26#039;s only the back ones thats the prob)
Does your dog have to be put under an anaesthetic to have his teeth cleaned at a vets?
A dog does need a General Anaesthetic for a scale and polish. If you are worried about your dog going under, then ask your vet to perform a Pre-anaesthetic blood test, also heart rate etc should be listened to before any anaesthetic is administered.
Reply:Unfortunately the answer is %26quot;yes%26quot;. Dogs will not sit still with their mouth open and allow the vet to clean their teeth.
You have to way out the %26quot;pros and cons%26quot;, take a chance on the anesthesia ( go to a reputable vet ) or let your dog suffer from gum disease.
Reply:I agree with saz as i used to be a vet nurse. We did used to do this on the RAF dogs though and they did not want us to put their dogs under GA so we used to use a sedative. Talk to your local vet is the best bet.
Reply:Yes a dog needs to be anesthetize to have there teeth cleened. The only animal i know of that routinly has there teeth worked on with out it are horses. If your dog is healthy there is very minimal risk to it but you vet is the best person to ask regarding this. And if your afraid they will not tell you the truth b/c they just want the $ then you need to find another vet. Or if you absolutly can not get yourself to allow it then you have to accept that the dog could possibly loose there teeth.
Reply:Hi yep they do, my dog had to have this done a few months back. I understand you being really scared we were, but you have to think about your dog, my dog is 7 and has had bad teeth for a while and it was not just the back ones and they were causing her discomfort so we had to do something. Once you get them done , if you continue with the sticks and the other methods of cleaning you are doing their teeth will be fine, but doing all this now the bads ones are still no going to get any better.
But your dog will be fine, the only thing is you have to sign to say you give promission to put your dog under, and it feels like your signing there life away and its a bit upsetting, but you dog will feel better once it can eat better.and have no pain.
If you cannot cope then why not let another family member take your dog.

Where can I take my dog for a free teeth cleaning?
We live in south central Pennsylvania, close to Baltimore, York, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Gettysburg... They%26#039;re all pretty close... Our dog%26#039;s about 8, and she really needs to have her teeth cleaned. Our vet said it could be over $500 to have her put under, and her teeth cleaned, and any dental work that she needs done... etc... I don%26#039;t have $500 and I don%26#039;t want her to get an infection and have other problems... We love her!
Where can I take my dog for a free teeth cleaning?
Your bathroom with a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Its as easy as that
Reply:Buy some milkbone chews or a leather chew toy or a beef bone. Cost you five dollars and it%26#039;ll do about the same.
Reply:All you have to do is buy a doggie toothbrush and doggie toothpaste, and do it yourself. We brush our own dog%26#039;s teeth all the time!!!!
Reply:what pay all that money nooooooo,,,,go to the bathroom find a old tooth brush ans clean them ur self with ur own tooth past ,minty they like best my dogs love it and they have perfect teeth once a week is all they need and they soon get used to it ,
Reply:i dont think there will be any place that will do it for free. if there%26#039;s a veterinary school in your area, they might do it for cheaper, though. the thing is that it costs money for the gas used to put them asleep, and you can%26#039;t do it when they%26#039;re awake because they would never stand for it. plus, if you take teeth out, that would be painful to do while they%26#039;re awake. plus, it takes a lot of time to clean dogs%26#039; teeth (30-45 minutes in most cases), so it%26#039;s not just a quick fix kind of thing.
Reply:My vet clinic does a cat for around $165 with anesthesia and everything. $500 seems way out of line. My vets don%26#039;t charge more if they have to pull a tooth either. I did pay $400 for my 22 yr old cat recently. She was at the vet%26#039;s all day, starting with fluids in the am, blood pressure and heart monitoring. This was expensive because she is very old and her kidneys are really bad.
I took the risk because dental plaque, bacteria etc. can adversely affect the health of an animal.
I hope you can find a vet school near you or something less pricey. I do think it is important to have it done.
Reply:give it hard dog bisects such as milk-bone
Reply:Start feeding her raw bones, especially soft rib bones that her teeth will puncture. This will help to scrape the tartar off her teeth.
Any bones that you feed your dog MUST BE RAW as dogs cannot digest cooked bone.
Reply:Call around to the closest veterinary schools. They%26#039;ll usually do things like that just for experience in it. Brushing your dog%26#039;s teeth with a tooth brush and toothpaste isn%26#039;t the same as having them professionally cleaned. It doesn%26#039;t get all the tartar and stuff off.
Reply:Animal Clinics offer a discounted rate on teeth cleaning you might want to call around and get some prices , unfortunately nothing is free these days.

How can u tell if a dog's eye is scratched? and how can u brush a non cooperative dog's teeth?
i crammed everything in my question so that i wont lose 5 more points to ask the teeth question.
How can u tell if a dog%26#039;s eye is scratched? and how can u brush a non cooperative dog%26#039;s teeth?
I don%26#039;t know about the eye being scratched part.(Though I think that if the eye is red and looks irritated, you should get it checked out just to be safe!) but my dog really doesn%26#039;t like it when I brush her teeth. She rolls over onto her back and waves her paws in my face. I can just take the toothbrush out of the closet and she will try to run away. I%26#039;ve found that taking her into a small room(I lure her into my bathroom and shut the door) calms her down so I can just grab her face and brush those stinky teeth! She%26#039;s a large dog(100lb Golden Retriever) but this seems to work for me!
Good luck!
Reply:try flavoured dog toothpaste or instead by some denta bones or we have some bones that we found at walmart that are whit with blue dots.
Reply:eyes: go to a specialised vet
teeth: buy him some special chews for teeth, other than that either train the dog to obey you or have the vet do the teeth cleaning by giving the dog some sedative, once a year or so, together with other tests he may need.
Reply:I would say don%26#039;t brush them at all, instead do these two things:
1.) Feed only dry dog food, it doesn%26#039;t get stuck and/or set in there teeth like wet food does.
2.) Use a Dent-a-Bone, or something like it, this will help them.
Reply:If you think that your dogs eye is scratched a trip to the vet is in order. Your veterinarian will use a special stain, stain the eye and then look at it with a special light. If it is scratched your veterinarian will provide you with medication to treat the eye. Eyes in dogs and cats are extremely sensitive just like a persons, so if you have any doubts about a scratch please see your veterinarian to avoid an eye problem with your dog. Good Luck.
