I use rawhide "flip chips" for lessening puppy teeth, I make sure they are sourced and processed in the USA. I generally don't care much for rawhide unless the dog isn't a big chewer, but for...

I'd opt for waiting, and go for the tugging and pulling. When Hudler was a pup, he had a tooth coming in on the roof of his mouth, and that needed to be removed. He had retained teeth at that time...

My dachshund had a retained canine. She was my foster fail and needed to be spayed before they released her to me. We waited till her spay to remove the tooth. I didn't have much choice in the matter...

Ava had some retained teeth but they didn't last very long before they came out. I encouraged chewing and tugging.

Same as Georgia above.
We also had some retained teeth. I forgot at what age (less than a year), but our Vet said she would remove them during her spay if they had not fallen out. By the time of...

Sam had two teeth like that but the vet was in no hurry to remove them. She said she could do it if they were still there when he was neutered. We gave Sam lots of chew toys, played tug, that sort of...

I had a puppy about 15 years ago who had the tooth issue. Had the vet remove it. The puppy ended up going back to the breeder shortly after that due to severe hip dysplasia. Did the vet say in the...

As we home senior dogs, no experience with baby teeth.

The eyelid problem has been seen in labs. I question the "under the eyelid". Is it truly under the eyelid or is the eyelid curling in? ...

I think it's best to trust your vet, but I can tell you that my dog had one retained baby tooth that was pushed up against an adult tooth and really discoloured, not wiggly.

Vet wanted to pull...

More off leash play would be my first thought also. Tired Labs are always happy Labs!

Just my opinion but if she was sleeping thru the night before then it has nothing to do with going potty. One of the first things i noticed when Zoey needed more off leash exercise as a puppy was her...

Hey,


I had the same issue with my puppy at 3 months old. She would just wake up 30 mins to an hour before my alarm went off for work. That would ruin my morning and I would be exhausted all day....

for labs its around 18-24 months (around 2 years of age)

Bacon was sleeping though the night (no potty breaks) at about 5 months. Bacon has always slept in his kennel at night, but he does sleep on his dog bed for camping trips. Your pup might just be...

I would definitely keep her in her crate at night. If she's barking in the middle of the night and it's an unusual event, it's probably because she has to potty. Maybe diarrhea, drank more water than...

Well - my 5 months old puppy, Barley, gets me up once a night to go potty still. There have been a few sporadic nights of uninterrupted sleep - but they are few and far between. Maybe put her back...

If the humidity is high they will drink a lot too.

Ever since putting my pups on raw/homecooked, they drink 1/4th of what they used too....leads me to truly wonder just *how* hard the kidneys have...

There aren't. Patty (Snowco Labs) recommends pH strips, but they never worked for us. You might want to look up recessed vulvas.

Luna drank at least 10 CUPS a DAY as a puppy... my vet said that...

yes she will need one now at 10 weeks, another at 14 and then another at 18, then rabies at 22 wks. Discuss this with your vet. Please don't let them vaccinate too close together for the sake of...

It depends on what age her first vaccination was as to how many she needs.

I start at 8 weeks with DHPP or DAPP (I do not give Corona). then they get a vaccine at 12 and 16 weeks. Rabies at...

First of all, Nala is a real cutie!!

Two. I've said it before, and I'll day it again. Raising a Lab puppy is a journey, not a destination. I've had Labs for 30 years, but it was over 20 years...

As to training, my method of teaching recall depends on puppy being very young and won't work once they get up enough confidence to be without you. COME was the first thing my pups knew and they...

I would pull up the water sooner. Regarding the food, are you leaving food down for her all day, or do you have her on a rigid 3x a day feeding schedule? The more consistent the feeding times, the...

Yes, he was taken out about twice a night for the first couple of weeks, but it wasn't long before he could hold it all night.

think tiny baby puppy bladder, they just cannot hold it for very long at all! plus, they have no clue yet that peeing and pooping is done outside, NOT inside. Thats up to you to show them that. I...
