How old is a pug? Pug puppies are judged by the state of their teeth: under 2 months old, the puppies’ teeth are white and small, 2-10 months old, the canines are replaced and grow neatly; at 2-3 years old, the cusps of the upper and lower incisors are gradually smoothed out, at 4-5 years old, the lower incisors are gradually yellowed, and at 6-8 years old, the roots of the teeth are exposed; after 8 years old, the canines begin to lose their teeth and enter old age. The average Pug puppy will lose its milk teeth and produce permanent teeth 5-7 months after birth. Prior to adulthood, the state of dental growth indicates an increase in the dog’s age, but once the dog reaches adulthood, the identification of the dog’s age can be determined by the state of dental wear. Therefore, identifying the age of a dog requires some practice and observation. For 7-8 year old dogs, the age of the dog can be determined based on the length of the dog’s teeth. 2 months or less Only the milk teeth (white, fine, sharp). 2-4 months Replace the incisors. 4-6 months Replace the canine teeth (white, rounded tips). 6-10 months Replace the molars. 1 year old The teeth are full grown, white and shiny, no sharp incisors. 2 years old The lower incisors are partially worn down. At 3 years of age, the upper incisors are partially cuspidated. 4-5 years of age, the upper and lower incisors begin to wear slightly beveled and yellowed. 6-8 years of age, the incisors are worn down to the roots and the canines are yellowed and lip worn.
