5 month old Golden Doodle Teething

[Kristin Foti]

My 5 month old Golden Doodle lost two teeth today playing with another dog. Another is lose, and there is some blood. I know that losing teeth at this age is normal, but is the blood? And is it from playing roughly? Thank you for any guidance.

Hi, I think that's normal.  Our Gracie is the same age and was at the vet a few days ago and they confirmed she is teething, and we noticed blood on one of her chew toys yesterday.  Also one of the dogs in our puppy class had the same thing happen, and he got some blood on Gracie's white fur while they were playing!  And the trainer said don't sweat it - that's normal.  Just one opinion here but hope that helps.

Thanks Becky! I followed advice from this post, and froze a wash cloth for her. She doesnt seem to be in any pain, so all is good. I feel better! Gracie is adorable btw.

We also give Olive pieces of frozen carrots ( not rounds, cut in little chunks) She loves them. We also give her ice, she loves that! ;)
